Comments

[trageteas]

It means you're good with your hands, doesn't it? That you don't need a large or intimidating weapon to attack.

[scatterflower]

... Hmm, I never thought about it that way.

Anyway, we should get started on trying it, shouldn't we?

[trageteas]

Yes, of course. Is there any particular technique that you prefer?

[Her enthusiasm suggests that she's already worked with more people than himself, and looking inexperienced in front of her is the last thing he wants.]

[scatterflower]

Technique? I usually just have the person turn into the weapon form and start trying to resonate with them.

*Hasn't failed her yet.*

[trageteas]

Then we'll hold hands first, if you don't mind. I prefer not to be dropped.

[As he says it, he offers her a hand.]

[scatterflower]

*Chika giggles at that.*

Okay, that's fine with me.

*She holds out her hand, grasping his firmly as she keeps smiling over at him.*

[trageteas]

[His grip is far less firm, more resembling a reassuring touch than a battle-ready stance, and his smile seems polite above anything else.

Nothing of note happens for a long moment, during which his eyelashes flutter closed and face scrunches in concentration. It's difficult, even now, to concentrate fully on resonation when there's no bond and no immediate danger to either of them.]

[scatterflower]

*Chika smiles, closing her eyes as well as she concentrates and reaches out towards him with her soul, trying to be as welcome as possible... which isn't really all that hard. Her soul was apparently one of those weird really welcoming ones, if how easily she had been able to resonate with everyone she's tried it with already is any indication.

She tries to do what she imagines the soul equivalent of giving a hug would be, trying to see if that would make it even more welcoming.*

[trageteas]

[He finally clears his mind enough to relax in this unfamiliar girl's presence, and soon enough she finds herself holding onto a birch switch. It's almost surprising; Chika seems undeniably skilled in a way he doesn't exactly understand (just what does make a person good at resonating?).

The bond feels a bit forced, still, as though it could break at any moment, but at least that's something that they can work with.]

[scatterflower]

*Chika still smiled a bit, feeling the resonation. Sure, it's a bit shaky, but it's doable.*

Hey, you doing okay?

*If he was still nervous or something, that might effect how the resonation was going.*

[trageteas]

I'm fine. This sort of thing is nothing new to me... not any longer.

[Which is to say that he doesn't really want to talk about it, probably a poor sign in and of itself.]

Does it feel all right to you?

[scatterflower]

It kinda... seems a bit shakier than it normally is for me, to be honest. That's why I thought something could be wrong on your end. It's still easily usable though if we ever need to fight together.

[trageteas]

Well, I can tell you're trying your best. I suppose we just aren't the most compatible of pairs.

[It isn't a surprising result, really. Resonation without trust is difficult for him.]

[scatterflower]

... Yeah, I guess we're not. Maybe we'll get better if we practice at it for a while.
