[Akiha's eyes shift over to where combat instruction was going on for a moment, a slight smile on her lips.]

I've had the same partner since BREW brought me here. Sion and I are well on our way to making her a deathscythe.

[scatterflower]

That's good. I... haven't really had that much luck. For a good while, I was just teaming up with people for a mission or two here and there. But I do have a permanent partner now though, and I'm really hoping BREW doesn't send her home like my last one. The two of us really get along pretty well.

[ritsu_kouyou]

I suppose that's all we can do in regards to BREW - hope. Though it's good you have a permanent partner now. When you have one and the two of you learn the varying frequencies of your wavelengths and develop deep trust, eventually perfect resonance is possible.

And that's where the true power a mesiter and weapon pair have comes from.

[scatterflower]

[ Chika nods. It made sense, and she thinks she heard something about that. ]

Yeah. That's... from what I've heard from people, being able to do that is pretty amazing.

[ She just hoped she got a chance to experience it herself someday. Though if she and Asuka kept going on missions, they just might. ]

[ritsu_kouyou]

[There's an actual smile from Akiha.]

It certainly is. I cannot even begin to describe the feeling.

[And then the smile fades back her typical unimpressed look.]

But the first step is trust.

[scatterflower]

[ Chika nods, though that does make her wonder a bit. She... she did trust Asuka, right? That was the whole reason she asked the other girl to be her partner in the first place. But... maybe the trust was more than that.

Obviously perfect resonation needed more than just trust, but was there something else and that was why their resonance had been off so much back during BREWS switch up? Or had it just been because they hadn't been partners long. ]

Yeah. That's... something that's hard to get right if you haven't known each other all that long, isn't it?

[ritsu_kouyou]

It's easier if you know the person first. Trust between my partner and I was easy as we're from the same world and already friends. [Not to mention knowing exactly what kind of beings they really were.] But trust is something that takes work and the foundation to everything beyond basic resonance.

This is why Shibusen encourages partners to live together. You learn more about someone simply by living when them than you do any other way.

[scatterflower]

[ Chika nodded, smiling over at Ahika as she did so. ]

Yeah. I know what you mean there. It'd be easier if I had someone from my world here to partner with, but well, my partner and I are friends, so it should just be a matter of time now that we're living together.

[ritsu_kouyou]

It should. But don't assume it will happen on its own. You still have to put effort in and not be lazy.

[scatterflower]

Trust me. Even if I wanted to be lazy, my partner really wouldn't let me. Not when it comes to things like this, anyway.

[ritsu_kouyou]

Good. There are too many lazy meisters here already.

[scatterflower]

Do you mean ones that don't want to fight, or ones that do and then... don't train?

[ritsu_kouyou]

The latter. They rely on their partner without making full use of their own abilities. That puts an unnecessary burden upon the Weapon.

[scatterflower]

Ugh. That's... yeah. No. That's even worse. At least with the first type, you're not expecting to count on them in a fight.

I mean... how hard is it to come here and try to learn how to wield your partner properly. It's not like someone's going to be able to use a sword or a glaive perfectly on the first try.
