[ he will actually try to find mathis after things calm down a bit... that one seems like the fearful type, and with all they've learned, he's a little worried. the naginata is still in his hand, of course, but he'll hold it close to his body so it doesn't startle mathis by simply Existing. he hopes. ]
It is worrisome, it's true. But it does sound like they want to try, doesn't it? That's still something to be grateful for.
And it makes us a team, so we'll have to make sure we help them as much as possible. But I'll admit that magic is a little beyond my understanding. What do you think of it, Mathis-dono?
Most of us thought the same. If only that were the case.
And it makes the possibility of finding your partner much riskier, when we don't know who could be affected next. [ a glance at mathis. ] Do you plan to try?
[he yelps briefly, startled, but-- luckily, that urge for affection overrides the fear within a moment, leaves him wrapping his arms around his neck to hold on instead of freezing up.]
Th-they are... this is much more like my home. Not entirely, but... I can almost imagine Jean popping up out here to fret over me, and ask "Master, where is it you've run off to for the last week..."
[-that gets a slight smile from him, but it's a little sad.]
where he was burned is now scarred black, with a red pulse beneath. like there's still something there, eating at him. that's fun! this is basically covering both feet completely plus a few other spots on him.]
[ he did spend the night with mathis so they really could talk whenever but iwa just wanted to make sure he gets time to rest and hopefully relax a little before getting into anything else. there's no rush, so maybe they can just explore the spa together for now? he will look at the nail polish colors thoughtfully. ]
Do you think I should try a new color, Mathis-dono? I'm so used to black, but mine wore off a while ago.
[ is this part of why he always wears the gloves over his stupid claws? maybe so ]

It seems that our time here will be less kind to us than we'd hoped.

I thought we would have more time before anyone would really be in danger.

anyway, sometime after the cyoa chaos, mathis is by himself to decompress a little... though when he comes across iwa, he stays.]
I- I hadn't had a chance to... apologize to you, for what happened the other day.
no subject
You mean the incident with Gale-dono? [ he smiles. ] It's alright. It sounds as if someone used an ability, right? So it isn't your fault, or his.

Mathis-dono. Have you seen this? It seems that they eat worms, in this world.
[ they're sour worms but he doesn't get it? ]
no subject
[he leans in to look, shocked, but-- oh.]
O-oh... I think these are worm-shaped candy-? What a strange choice...
[i finally got memshares written up so
before he can pick up the package, they get voided into this.]

Mathis-dono! How are you feeling? Can you walk?
[ he'll carry again if needed, ]

where he was burned is now scarred black, with a red pulse beneath. like there's still something there, eating at him. that's fun! this is basically covering both feet completely plus a few other spots on him.]
