[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.]

Exactly how much is enough, then? Our powers are sapped here, so it's not like it'll be much.

[Not compared to the Coral.]

Any amount is fine, combined with the coral's power. I suppose I can hardly be picky right now.

...

[A sigh can be heard, after a long moment of consideration.]

And how do I know you're not just taking advantage of all this chaos that's happened?

Something gonna happen if we do this for you?

[Like, surprise! You're suddenly drained of all your power--

She's just a bit paranoid, okay.]

If I wanted to take advantage of the chaos, I wouldn't be bothering with this.

And nothing out of the ordinary should happen. If something does, then that would be the fault of this place, not mine. In any case, it's not as if I'm forcing anyone to do anything.

[The fault of this place, huh...

He's got a point there. Vatheon's been known to do some wonky things to its residents...but even so, by joining the Defense Force, she vowed to protect it. And she supposes this applies to him, too.

Her wounds have healed somewhat, so if it's simply a magic attack or two he needs, perhaps she may as well.

There is a pause, as she's thinking about all this...and then:]

...Where are you? And what's your name?

Ah, so are you offering?

Near the plaza, and my name is Tiir Rumibul.

Something like that. You need help...right?

[Heh. It's kind of like her job...or. Well. She feels like it is.

...She quietly sighs.]

...My name's Yukari. I'll be there in a few minutes.

Hmm. Despite your suspicion?

[She was just about to hang up, but--]

Would you prefer I not?

... I suppose not. Very well; you have a point.

[It's probably better this way—the less she wants to do it, the more Tiir can convince himself that she's not really 'helping' him.]

...

[She mumbles something of a goodbye then and, after clicking off the voice feed, she makes her way to the plaza. It takes her a little while, and she's not sure she'd be able to find him, without knowing what he looks like.

But she spots an isolated boy near the Coral, and suspects it may be him. She doesn't say anything though; she just sort of casually approaches.]

[... He probably should've described himself, huh—

But when she approaches him, he smiles—or rather, smirks.]

You'd be the one, I presume—Yukari?

[Oh, good. That would've been really embarrassing if it wasn't him, and really, that's the last thing Yukari needs right now. So she's a bit relieved to hear him say that.

She nods.]

Mmhmm. And that would make you Tiir?

That would be correct.

...Just promise me you won't freak out, okay?

[She eyes him carefully for a moment, and slowly pulls out her Evoker from out of its holster...]

[His eyes widen slightly, but it's not in shock—it's in recognition.

He isn't familiar with firearms, so he has no reason to worry for the reasons Yukari's probably thinking of, but he hasn't forgotten who else carried something like that.

Otherwise, he's calm.]

[Calm. She's got to take her own advice, doesn't she? She can't freak out, either. She tries to keep that in mind, as much as she hates to make a habit out of sharing her ability with people--and she grips tighter to the Evoker, putting it to her head.

She looks around briefly first, noting how quiet it is in the plaza that day... Heh. She supposes she's lucky.]

Isis--

[There's a bit of a hiss in her voice; it's soft spoken, not at all like the explosive voice she uses when she fights. Perhaps it's hesitation, perhaps not--

But either way, she gently pulls the trigger, and Isis appears faintly above her, unleashing a Garudyne attack; sending some wind his way.]

[It's not a terribly powerful wind. It doesn't pack nearly as much punch as she's used to, but perhaps she's adjusted to how much weaker it is here by now.

She's left out of breath, and--returning her Evoker to its holster by her side, she puts her hand on her knees, trying to focus once more after what she's done.

She hasn't even looked up to see if it worked--]

[And it does. If she does, she might see red symbol in front of him fading, to match his glowing eyes, before the light disappears and his eyes return to blue.

A satisfied smirk, and then he speaks.]

... You use the same magic as that boy.

--Boy?

[She finally does look up at that, curiosity driving her. She takes a few more breaths, though, just to prove she can, before asking:]

Who?

[To be fair though, she has a pretty good idea already.]

[... He'd really rather not refer to Minato by name, but trying to describe him when he has that information would just be silly.]

Ah... Minato was his name, I believe?

[Heh. And she smiles faintly, nodding. At least she's starting to recover now, and speaking is a little easier.]

Figures. He's a good friend of mine, actually; I shouldn't be surprised you've met.

[She isn't.]

We don't really go out of our way to show off, though. So I guess you're lucky, in a way.

Luck has nothing to do with it. He was a fool who got himself hurt.
