Sure. It wouldn't be good to be stuck like this all the time.

[She concentrates again, and after several long moments she turns back into her original form, lying down on the grass since she fell over while she was in her Weapon form.]

[There's a sense of relief felt within when the bazooka finally disappears. He hadn't seen one for some time, but he hadn't expected to react in such a way either.

Shifting forward a little, he peers over.]

Everything alright?

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

[Momo sits back up, stretching a bit and wiggling her ears.]

Yep, everything feels like it should.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

[He pulls back when she moves to sit up.]

That's good to hear! Did you want to try transforming again? Or do you need a little time to recover?

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

[Momo gave that a bit of thought. Doing that had tired her out some, but she thought she could transform back and forth another time before she really needed to rest. And hopefully Yuuri wouldn't be so alarmed by her Weapon form now that he'd seen it once.]

I do want to give it another try.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

Great! Then give it another try. It's a good way to see if you've got the hang of it, and not to mention it's good practice.

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

[She nods, then closes her eyes to concentrate again. The shift doesn't take as long to perform this time, now that she knows what she needs to concentrate on and what it feels like. So after a minute or so, she's back in her Weapon form.]

I think I've got it down.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

[He did his best to keep the memories at bay this time, and when she transformed, Yuuri remained smiling.]

That's great. Keep practicing the transformations once a day, and you'll be able to maintain that form for longer periods of time.

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

I'll be sure to do that.

[She pauses for a moment, then voices a question.]

What do people usually look for in a partner?

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

Look for? Aa well it's different for everyone.

When I was looking for a partner, I'd try and find someone who I resonated well with. It's something that you'll just know the first time a Meister holds you, so you won't be able to miss it.

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

Hmm. Does anything bad happen if I can't resonate very well with them?

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

That depends. Sometimes Weapons can end up burning Meisters if they don't resonate well. [He sighs a little at the memory before drawing his smile back out.] But then the same can happen in reverse as well, but I've only experienced that once myself.

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

Ouch.

[Momo shifts back into her normal form, looking more tired than she did after her first transformation.]

So you probably want to make sure you're not really mismatched with someone before trying.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

Well it's hard to tell if you're not matched with someone unless you try, which is what makes it so difficult as well.

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

Sounds rather tricky. But I'm sure I'll find someone I can work with if I try.

[a-r0yal-flush.livejournal.com]

I'm sure that you'll be able to as well! Just remember that sometimes it takes a little longer.

[maddogscientist.livejournal.com]

I'll keep that in mind.
