[yeah okay that text is completely uninterrupted—]
—listed the incidents so he could ask you about them himself. I had to tell him about the time I got blot poisoned too. I was just answering questions, not assuming you wouldn't tell.
anyway a sufficient amount of time for yuuna to run from wherever she is to wherever leona is (diamond dog? is it the time of day for him to be there? it's 4am here i can't think rn), she is going to show up in person.]
[okay so he wasn't actually expecting that? Leona looks up from where he's pulling the clean gym towels out of a basket to fold them in the back of the gym, and checks his phone.]
[she would be proud of herself for managing to surprise him, except she's worried, so that pride will come later.
for now, she crosses over to him, her brow furrowed in concern. it's long since over, and he probably doesn't need her to fuss over him, but - how the hell is she supposed to hear that he got blot poisoned and not be worried?]
[perfect. he didn't want to do the task he was doing, anyway. he throws the towels back to the side and sits down on an overturned milk crate, patting the utility stool beside him.]
Back in September*.
[*might be August. Pretty sure it was September though.]
Another LIER's ability interfered with the kind of overblot status Idia's dealing with.
[softly, with feeling, as she takes a seat on the utility stool he's indicated:]
Oh, yikes.
[because she knows just how formidable idia had been when he'd overblotted back at styx - and this idia has had more time to grow accustomed to it, to hone and grow that power. granted, there wouldn't have been as many phantoms here, but still...
she's looking him over for injuries as if there's going to be anything from that experience that she hasn't seen before - which is a little ridiculous, considering how many times she's seen him without his clothes off at this point; by the time she'd even arrived in the city, he'd had several months to recover already.
(had she seen anything and just not realized...?)]
The plan was to use a version of the Thunder Spears Idia'd crafted here to bring him down. That meant I had the best chance of charging the blow, with Rook standing as my second.
We managed to be the only ones besides Idia who sustained any injuries.
[as if he knows what she's thinking, looking at him like that, he adds;]
Did it take that long for me to heal up after my overblot? No.
I've been over it for a while. Didn't think to bring it up.
[her brow creases further as he explains. rook was injured, too? she's going to have to fuss over him later too... even though leona is right: more than enough time has passed for them to recover.
still...
she sighs, because she gets not thinking to bring up something, especially when it had happened so long ago. she reaches for one of his hands, though, and leans into his side, scooting the stool a little closer to him so she can be close enough to do so.]
Overblots are supposed to be rare. [she knows that much, even if she's personally witnessed way too many of them at this point.
anyway. it's one thing for something about the city to knock something loose in someone who is permanently overblotted; it's another for the city to push someone who already has overblotted, and recovered from it, to their limits again. she wouldn't have expected it to happen either.] ...do you think it might happen a third time here?
[she hopes not, but... they can't discount the possibility now, can they?]
[the look on Leona's face isn't as certain as it could be.]
...I can't be sure. The variables we're working with aren't the same as back home. And for that matter, we still don't know how we managed seven overblots in one area.
[he rubs her knuckles lightly with his thumb. he doesn't have to imply his suspicion it was forced, he's sure.]
But it isn't impossible. That's why managing their use of magic is vital for the mages we have here.
[with a huff that's unmistakeably, though quietly, frustrated, he adds;]
Maybe if our beastmaster prefect points it out, they'll take it easier.
[there is, perhaps, still a part of her that really does wonder if she jinxed it by coming to twisted wonderland in the first place. it is not at all lost on her that almost immediately after she had shown up, riddle have overblotted. and it had really just all been downhill from there.
but she doesn't know how that would actually be possible, so she just sighs lightly yand squeezes his hand when he rubs her knuckles.]
I can try to help. But... I dunno if they will listen. [she makes a face.] Trey-pai argued with me and then tried to bribe me into not being mad at him with sweets when I went off on him about using magic without his magestone the other week.
And you have to admit he's usually less contrary than the rest of you.
