[ there's a sheepish grin. ] It's not...it's complicated. I know I need to practice but it's going to take time.
[ this analogy works, actually. he gets the concept she's trying to explain and so he nods. yeah. something like that. ]
...no, I think I understand. It's a make-up you have, but you then start to lean into it and it becomes more important to you the more you realize you're actually good at it or it suits you. I think I get the point. Sorry. I get it was kind of a weird question to ask.
Same though. It’s not like I had powers before, and I’m finding it difficult. You’ve probably got to unlearn muscle memory and stuff like that.
[ she shrugs. ]
It’s not like I was offended by it. My situation’s a bit different, that’s probably clear enough. But ultimately, I help out because I want to. If I didn’t want to, you’d know about it.
The amount of times I've flexed my fingers trying to pull someone out of the ground and getting nothing has not been small. [ dry. ] Don't worry. Even those of us who had powers before are making a mess of things. Unless you're like Nimona or Will.

[ hehe. ] I know. [ and so does he, shakes fist. ]
That's what I said. It's both fortunate for them and something for me to continue being jealous of ever day. [ sort of a joke. he does not continue about ryuki and tama that he doesn't know is ryuki because she seems to know what's up. but he is settled by it, somehow. ]
