[You really are blind aren't you]

Awww.

[DISAPPOINTING]

What about that really fast thing you did? What was that?

[sylphystia]

Windstepping.

[None of this seems beyond Sora's ability, really. Sorey and the other seraphim had shared similar skills despite elemental differences, though of course there was some overlap in seraphic artes.]

You need to be able to use wind magic before you try any advanced techniques. [He has a rapidly developing soft spot for this kid and he doesn't want to admit it.] I'm... not a teacher, but... if you can manifest some wind, then I'll try.

[notzubats]

Manifest wind, huh...

[He seems to think it over for a moment]

I could try! I mean I'm supposed to be a flying-type, so maybe I could! I can already jump really high and move really fast- not as long or fast as you can, but pretty fast!

[sylphystia]

[He's not totally sure what 'flying type' means.]

I use the wind to support me. That's all.

[They're getting close to the town now, and it makes Dezel think.]

I bet you could get a teacher if you asked over the network.

[notzubats]

[Wow that's vague. Thanks Dezel]

You mean a teacher that knows more about wind than a Wind Seraph?

[sylphystia]

[... fuck. There's no getting out of this. The sassiness makes him prickle.]

Gggh-- fine! I'll teach you wind magic, but I reserve the right to stop if you drive me crazy. All right?

[notzubats]

[He can't it, he laughs a little at the bristling.]

Ha- alright! You got yourself a deal!

[Yep, you get a big smile here]

Thanks Dezel.

[sylphystia]

[He's blushing. You can't tell from the hat, but it's in his voice.]

I can't believe I'm being yanked around by a kid. [SIGH]

[notzubats]

[What an adorable tsundere]

Don't worry! If you'd like, I won't tell anyone!

[sylphystia]

... Do whatever you want.

[He doesn't care, really. As long as Sora doesn't nag nag nag nag.]

[notzubats]

Well...okay then!

[He'll do just that! Not that he's sure who he'd tell anyway. How do you say "i'm going to learn magic from an invisible person" without sounding crazy?]
