I don't see why not. We're always developing new techniques, especially while we get stronger over time. It's same for humans, isn't it?

[aspearing]

It would be an honor to work on an arte with you, Lord Mikleo! In that case, I'll work even harder on my training.

[tsunergy]

I didn't even know that was possible. You're already working hard! Don't let what Edna says intimidate you.

[She's the type to over-criticize, but they both know how hard Alisha is trying. A lot of what's standing in her way are factors she can't help much- time, and exposure.]

[aspearing]

... Truthfully, at first Lady Edna did just that, but... the more I've learned about her, the less I've been intimated by some of her especially harsh words.

[tsunergy]

Yeah, that sounds about right. I think she criticizes the people she likes more than anyone else.

[aspearing]

I suppose it's a little similar to the saying that people tease others because they like them.

[tsunergy]

Which is equally silly to do, but not inaccurate.

[He says like he hadn't teased Sorey constantly since they were babies.]

[aspearing]

Do you really think so?

[ She totally thinks that the saying applies towards Mikleo and Sorey. ]

[tsunergy]

Unless in certain circumstances.

[He commits or admits to nothing!!]

[aspearing]

[ Please. ]

May I ask what your plans were for this area after placing the plants in the aquarium?

[tsunergy]

I don't know about "plans", um... you know how we found those seraphim shrines across the land back home? And how we made a shrine in the interfaith center here? I guess you could call this my shrine, though it's not for worship, or anything like that... just a place with natural water that I can relax and soak in my element. Edna has her mountain, and I have this.

[It's a little embarrassing, but that's the truth...]

[aspearing]

It's an amazing shrine, Lord Mikleo. [ She honestly thinks that. She knows how important something like this is to seraphim. ] Would it be strange to bring offerings?

[tsunergy]

[Oh lords.]

Very, very strange.

[Please do not do this thing, Alisha.]

If you have to leave anything anywhere, use the shrine in the interfaith center. But I'm not interested in being prayed to by my friends.

[aspearing]

I apologize. Truthfully, it's a habit that I've picked up at home.

[tsunergy]

You mean back at the sanctuary in Ladylake? With Uno?

[He's honestly curious- it's been a long time since he'd visited Ladylake, but he vaguely remembers Uno mentioning something about it. And-]

Oh, that's right, you brought him riceballs, didn't you?

[aspearing]

Yes, that's right. Admittedly, I was fairly grateful for the chance to practice making them.

[tsunergy]

I don't mind that sort of thing. It's an important part of maintaining the blessing, and Uno seemed happy about it. I think it depends on the seraph, or at the very least, the context. I don't have any blessing to maintain, and my vessel is Sorey, so what would I need offerings for?

Unless you want to stuff riceballs in his face, which I'm sure he'd enjoy, at least.
