It's not that great.

[...does this fucker sound jealous to you, or]

[actus]

[ it's hard to tell tbh. ]

what about tigers?
tiger feet are great, too.

[lalliho]

What's a tiger?

mental image time!

[actus]

[ ???????? but!!!!

he's going to focus really hard on this image ! ]

Can you see that?

[lalliho]

[AKIRA THAT'S LIKE BARELY A TIGER]

Aha.

[But...it does satisfy Lalli's curiosity. He prods at the mental image, like it's a physical object he can glean more information from that way, which must be an unusual sensation to be on the receiving end of.]

Yes, that looks okay. The feet.

[actus]

[ IT'S "HIS" TIGER.....

the prodding is weird but he's just going to go along with it. ]

his name's byakko.
he's here with me.
ah... sometimes. anyway.

[lalliho]

Sometimes?

[actus]

i have to summon him.
i dont always have him out.

[lalliho]

[!!!!

Lalli eagerly sends his own mental image in return -- a spectral lynx. Look!!]

[actus]

[ ... oh no that's actually kind of cute? he has a weakness for things like this. ]

that's cool.
what is it/him/her?

[lalliho]

He's a lynx. He's really strong.

[This explains Everything.]

[actus]

a lynx. that's cool.
is he ... see-through?

[ SO MANY QUESTIONS, LALLI. ]

[lalliho]

Yes he's my luonto.

[ E V E R Y T H I N G ]

[actus]

... your what now?

[ please send help. ]

[lalliho]

[Oh... The excited, proud feeling that had gone over their connection fades back into his normal, stone-like "expression" pulse. Boo.]

...Luonto. Animal spirit guardians. You said you could summon yours, I thought...

[actus]

[ listen....!!! listen. ]

ah.
they're kind of similar in that respect, then.
i have a bird, too. horus.
they're technically guardians.
we call them something different back home.

[lalliho]

No that's not the same you only get one. Onni's and Tuuri's are birds.

You only get one because they're your nature and live in your soul once they come to you.

[actus]

mm....
that's the case for most of my friends back home.
they only have one and it lives in their soul just like that.

i guess i'm ... kind of a special case.
or something like that.
it never made much sense to me.

[lalliho]

[Hmmm...]

Are your parents from two different places?

[actus]

ah... different parts of japan, yeah.
my mom's dad's side is foreign, though?

[lalliho]

Mmn. Foreign mages are really different. Maybe because your blood is mixed, the magic is, too.

[actus]

i hadn't really thought about it before.
i just kind of accepted that i was weird.

[lalliho]

Maybe that too.

[But... Well, Lalli was always the "weird" one, no matter what group he was in or how baffled he was by what was apparently normal. He couldn't do anything like what this guy said he could...]

...Does it feel weird?

[actus]

the power? no, not really.
but i've always felt a little different from other people.
especially in my old school.
so that part has always been weird, yeah.

[lalliho]

Oh.

[................]

I think you'll make a good scout. You will still feel weird, but military is better than academic, and it's the good part of the military. For people like us.
