( noctis seems rattled. kaladin is, too. it's this place... being holed up in close quarters with these people. underground, so far from the wind and sun. )

Good
In a way I do need your help
I need the distraction

Outside we can do whatever we want
No dark mazes and crowded spaces
And no storm this time
Just blue sky for kilometres all around us

[fessus]

[ This isn't a practical ask. This is... for fun. In some ways maybe also for his mental and emotional health, concepts Kaladin has patiently been introducing into Noctis's own life.

Being asked is important. ]

Being outside and being free is the distraction?

Or you need a distraction from just how open it is once we get up there

[gyve]

The openness is what's appealing
It feels good

Now that the fight is over I want you to know what it's really like

1/2

[fessus]

You're saying it's even better than it was during the fight?

Bc feeling that was hard to describe

2/2

[fessus]

I just know I felt like I could do anything

[gyve]

I felt it too

( cutting through hurricane-force winds and fighting for the sake of many.

the imugi believed she owned the sky. she didn't—they did. )

But that was then and this is now
There won't be anything to fight
Not a creature or a storm

It's a new kind of feeling
It's peaceful there

[fessus]

Sounds like it

And like it'd be smth I'd be crazy to turn down. Tbh might be just what both of us need after all this

[ ... ]

Thanks Kal

Maybe I can pay you back somehow

[gyve]

Yeah

( this guy has a knack for making him want to smile. )

You know you don't need to repay me Noctis
And I know you'll insist on doing so anyway
What are you thinking

[fessus]

Idk you could try refusing a few more times and seeing if I stay strong

[gyve]

No way
I'm too interested in what you'll do for me

[fessus]

Lol zero hesitation

Fine

Maybe if you're sharing some magic with me I can share some with you. Your spheres need lightning right?

[gyve]

It's more complicated than that
Lightning may be an element of it but it's the storm itself that gives spheres their light

You want to try to infuse them

( woah... )

[fessus]

Yep

It's worth a try right? Besides even if it doesn't work you'll have an elemancy attack you can borrow

[gyve]

Of course it is
If it works I won't have to worry about storm light anymore
Here's hoping

What do you mean by borrow

[fessus]

I mean borrow. I can store the magic in a flask for you to use but I'll need the flask back when you're done

[ ... ]

Lol it'll be easier just to show you

[gyve]

Really
I want to try it
I was never any good with devices but this sounds a little more straightforward

Maybe that's what we can do tomorrow
Since you need an excuse to fly

[fessus]

Sure throw it back at me

When I'm the one who let you get away with wanting to have fun without saying anything

[gyve]

Why are you so concerned over whether I think something's fun or not

1/2

[fessus]

That's easy

I'm also not gonna tell you

2/2

[fessus]

Are you planning to use my elemancy in midair btw?

[gyve]

( ... )

You're a storming fool do you know that

Anyway
What's the worst that could happen if I did

[fessus]

You hang out with me so what's that make you?

And if I were able to fly into the air maybe I'd know and be able to tell you but it's a first for me

[gyve]

A storming fool

( i know who i am )

Does the flask need an impact to release
We'll need to worry about timing but that's the only downside I can think of
And I can always think of more downsides
To everything

[fessus]

At least I know more than one swear word

[ oh we're going there ]

I've set them off without impact but idk

I don't think about how I make it happen, it just does

[gyve]

Kelek's breath
Ash's eyes
By the almighty's tenth name
Asshole
Bastard
Damnation
Stormfather
What in the halls

I know plenty of swears

Maybe you'll be the key to detonation when I'm wielding a flask too
Don't think about explosions while I'm holding one
