[Tiir isn't really one for showing sadness. Rather, he prefers to express any remorse or grief through anger, and so, when the feed turns on, he's quite clearly not pleased.

You get no guesses as to why.]

Well then. To whoever was behind this, I certainly hope that you're satisfied, treating us as your pawns.

[But that's not what he's here for. A moment passes, as the anger fades from his face, and he appears more tired than anything else.]

... I'd like to ask a favour from anyone capable of casting magic.

[Hell, he'll even accept help from humans right now. It's annoying, not being able to simply devour someone, but he needs to play safe for now.

... Especially since, considering recent events, he has no desire to get himself into trouble again anytime soon—or explain things to Guriko.]

*There's a frown and a half on that face of hers*

Kill you...? Why would I?!

Well, it was merely hypothetical, though I wouldn't be surprised. So, if you want me to answer that question:

Because you're human.

*Okay... She's still not getting that answer, and she's looking a little concerned*

Because I'm human...?

That is what I said, isn't it?

Uh huh. But what's that got ta do with it?

You need my help...cause I'm human? Or...what?

No. As far as helping me goes, as long as you're capable of casting magic, whether you're human or not is irrelevant.

But I've found that humans don't need much of a reason to try and kill someone like me.

*Selphie frowned a little*

Well... I definitely don't want to kill you. At all. I don't even want to hurt you.

But...I'll help you, if you need it.

[... He'll just ignore that first bit.]

Of course. That's why I asked, isn't it?

[As much as he hates relying on humans...]

Don't get any foolish thoughts about me being in your debt or anything like that, however.

Huh...?

*Selphie just blinks, and she decides that she'll go along with him for the moment*

So... you'll ask a human for help...and not even offer anything in return? So... you're expecting the human to be the better person, huh?

If I wanted this to be an exchange, then I would've called it that, not a favour.

Or do humans always expect something in return for their helpfulness?

*Selphie giggled and shook her head*

Plenty humans do - but not this one!

So really, tell me where and when, and I'll help. Need me now?

Now would be preferable, yes. The coral would likely be the most convenient location, as both of us should know where that is.

Okay. Let's do it.

*Srsface*

[a log? to action? something?]

Very well then. I'll meet you there.

[Action? o/]

*Selphie turns up at the coral eventually. She's not sure if she's late or not, so she's walking at almost a running pace, her nunchaku laced around her neck like a scarf*

[He's already there—at the very least, he still has the energy to move at a faster pace than others. He hasn't been waiting for long, though.]

Ah, there you are.

*Selphie automatically smiles at Tiir when she sees him, but then she soon remembers why she's there*

Are you sure you wanna do this? Can't you just drink my blood or something?

How strange of you to offer. However, I don't drink blood, and I doubt you're willing to offer yourself to be eaten.

[Not that he'd even need her permission to devour her, but—]

I'd rather feed off of your magic, either way.

I'd just... rather not have to hurt you.

*She looked at him, already feeling a little guilty about all of this, and she hadn't done anything yet. And then...she wondered what she'd taste like... Whatever, she'd ask later*

Alright. So...how do we do this?

As if you could.

[Why would you ever feel guilty over anything to do with Tiir—]

As I said, firing magic of any kind at me is all I need.

*Okay, so now she just wants to to prove a point*

Right. Any kind...? What would be more useful?

The more powerful, the better. However, from what I know, what kind doesn't matter.

*Selphie took a deep breath and closed her eyes, not wanting to see the effect. She summoned a reasonable amount of energy, and sent a thundara spell, the space around them brightening with lightning*

Ah, how delicious this looks...

[A smirk, and then—

It's not particularly flashy—the absorption that is. As the lightning wraps itself around Tiir, black and white particles flow from it to his body, before it eventually disappears.

The process doesn't take long. Only a couple of seconds, really, before it's done.]

*The moment the spell left her, Selphie screwed her eyes tightly closed. She didn't want to look at what she might have done. But then she opened her eyes and watches the particles disappear*

...are you okay?
