Who: Everyone messed up by the dragon plot, and visitors
Broadcast: N/A
Action: Blue Fish's clinic!
When: All throughout the Solrius dragon plot and through the space flight to the next destination.

[So several RPG characters, a dragon, and two messianic figures walk into a planet.

Everything is suffering and tears, there's a lot of dead people, there's no punchline. But, hey, for the survivors, the Blue Fish's clinic is treating wounds and generally being a decent place to rest and recover and pray you don't see a dragon again. And for those who weren't involved, there's enough people bedridden here that there may just be someone you want to visit.]

No, you're not leaving until you get discharged by Dr. Crusher.

[ SIGH. ] Can't blame a guy for tryin'...

[ He was mostly kidding. ... Okay only a little kidding. ]

Hey, by the way? Thank you, too. For doin' everything you did. And then some.

[save_the_souls]

Oh, ah...

[God everyone is thanking him and not yelling at him for being an idiot. He's not sure how to handle it]

It's fine. I'm just glad it worked.

[deviances]

So am I. Heh, to be honest, I didn't know what to expect after you did the whole sword-thing. - that was definitely somethin' new to me.

[ Okay, the whole thing's been new to him, but still. One thing at a time. ]

[save_the_souls]

Sword thing?

[Whatchu talking about Eithan...did you imagine it]

[deviances]

You know, the... thing with your...?

[ Aaand he's pointing to his arm, like it's going to help explain. Or make words Happen and Make Sense. Or something like that. ]

[save_the_souls]

- Oh! That!

I suppose that's not often seen. You can say it's a trick I have up my sleeve!

[deviances]

[ For a second, Eithan just... stares. Like he can't believe Allen just punned at him. ... But then he gives a small huff of a laugh and shakes his head. ]

Okay, that was a good one.

[ Puns are clearly an epidemic around here... ]

But, yeah, that. How'd you do that? Is that somethin' Exorcists just... have? [ Beat. ] If you don't mind tellin' me, I mean.

[save_the_souls]

[He smiles at that reaction. Aw yeah, he made a good joke. ]

No not quite every-

[How to explain]

Well, remember how I said Exorcists and Shepherds have the ability to purify, and Shepherds get their powers through making pacts with Seraphim?

Exorcists, we... sort of make our own pacts too, in a way. But instead of Seraphim, we use a special material called Innocence. A compatible user can tap into the Innocence's power and it'll give us abilities. That's what makes us Exorcists. But each Exorcist has their own unique relationship with their Innocence, so every Exorcist's powers are unique to them.

When I made the sword, I was tapping into the full power of my Innocence. It's what allowed me to purify Sorey without injuring him.
