[ his step falters, head turning slightly like he isn't sure if he heard right. ]

If I could talk to the ones responsible for making these things happen... [ ohhhhhh he'd like to stab them so bad. but he knows that's not possible, at least not now, so he shakes his head. ] Then I'm even more grateful that you've made it back safely. I'm sorry that I couldn't be there to protect you.

We can't change what's already happened, but if there's anything you need or any way I can help, you'll tell me, won't you?

[cumulative]

I will. I will, but right now, I... don't know what would help, exactly...

[company is enough. support is enough.]

[naginota]

That's alright. As long as you're not hiding how you feel, that's all I ask.

We'll be here to support you, so you can focus on recovering.

[cumulative]

Mm. I promise I'll... focus on that.

[and then he falls quiet, for a minute or two. thinking, evidently, before finally:]

...I could do more, there. I- I had magic that I was able to use. I could still... help them more, even if I'm weaker than Rondo or Lavi.

[naginota]

Good, good.

...Magic, huh? [ how interesting, that these experiences can give them new abilities. ] What was it, then? How were you helping them?

[cumulative]

I found a staff that I could use to cast ice magic... so I was able to help counter all of the fire, a little.

[and also just fight from a distance in general. if arpechele had guns mathis would have been ranged i know this in my heart.]

[naginota]

Ice magic... It does sound useful.

[ glancing up at mathis, he smiles. ]

I know you would've done everything you could to help with or without it, but I'm glad you could. Can you still, or did it vanish when you came back?
