action; during the Meropide raid

[reignitions]

[Shio, for one, is annoyed and bored.

Sometimes, doing the smart thing to make sure you don't die in a fight means you're stuck doing not much afterward. His shoulder's been healed, but he's not moving around for now.

So in lieu of that, he's sitting around healer camp and working on some whittling, to make sure he's got something to do with his hands.

When he spots Kuni, he nods in acknowledgment.]

[The healers wanted to look Kunikaki over, so he listened to them because it was something to do and now he's just laying around and hovering around instead of going to wherever the violence is. He's not about that right now.

Shio nods, and Kuni decides that means he's good for bothering.]

What happened to you?

[reignitions]

The bloodthirsty jackass-- [He's pretty sure he doesn't need to specify further.] --gored me in the shoulder. I figured I should get the hell out while the getting was good, and we had someone who could teleport me and the others too injured to continue here. And we have some fantastic healers.

[threebetrayals]

And I'm going to assume you're smarter than most, since you're not back out in a fight somewhere.

[reignitions]

[He laughs a bit.]

I know my limits and my limits say "fuck you". Better to recuperate and maybe prepare for helping people coming off of the second boss fight phase in there.

[threebetrayals]

[Okay, that makes Kuni snicker a little.]

Fair enough. I'm amazed he didn't just outright kill you and your friends, to be honest.

[reignitions]

Not for lack of trying, that's for sure. Not sure he's used to fighting a bunch of people at once who fight smart.

[He pauses in his whittling to get a good look at his progress. Looks like it's about halfway to being a cat.]

[threebetrayals]

That would require him to fight smart. I don't think he does.

[Anyway.]

What are you making?

[reignitions]

Yeah, he sure didn't seem like it.

[Anyway!!]

Oh, this? It's honestly mostly something to keep my hands busy. I'll probably make it into a charm to give one of my friends, though.

[There's a tiny bit of a glow at Shio's fingertips at the word "charm", but it's very blink-and-you-miss-it. Not to mention, Shio himself hasn't even noticed it happened.]

[threebetrayals]

[Kuni notices, though he thinks it was intentional on Shio's part.]

What enchantment?

[reignitions]

... Enchantment?

[Yeah, he's clueless.]

[threebetrayals]

Aren't you an enchanter? Your fingers glowed.

[reignitions]

... Ah.

[Well then.]

If I am, it's new.

[threebetrayals]

New? How do you not realize you can enchant things?

[reignitions]

[Shrugging!] I wasn't able to do it before, and I've been a little preoccupied recently.

[threebetrayals]

...fair enough, I guess. Woodcarver?

[reignitions]

Yeah. I sew, too.

[threebetrayals]

Huh.

[He stops hovering and sits down, finally.]

What else can you do?

[reignitions]

It's mostly the woodcarving and sewing, but my mom taught me a little of her jewelry making. I've been interested in learning more, though.

[threebetrayals]

Do you think you're good enough to teach people?

[reignitions]

Yeah, I think so. You'd like to learn, then?

[threebetrayals]

I was apprenticing under my aunt when they took me. No idea what I was going to specialize in, but she was a crafter.

[reignitions]

That so? Then yeah, I'd be happy to teach you.

[threebetrayals]

Thanks. Shio, right?

[reignitions]

Yeah, that's right.
