[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.]

I guess. But it might help them decide if they know what it is you need.

Nothing particularly difficult. I simply want them to fire a spell—whatever kind—at me.

Okay...

Any particular reason why...?

Why do people eat?

Think along those lines, but I feed on more than simply food of the conventional sort.

[In short, even with the coral's help, the past week has left him feeling more drained than usual.]

[Yeah; Yukari's pretty wiped this week as well. Even so, this is kind of...sketch.]

Just what are you getting at? Magic as...food?

Indeed. Or do I need to further elaborate on that?

Elaboration might be nice. Or you could go ahead and make your way to the Coral. It seems to have magic properties you might need--and there's been enough for everyone.

[And he wouldn't have to bother anyone else at a time like this.]

I'm well aware of the coral. In this case, however, it's not enough.

[If it were, he wouldn't be potentially asking humans for help.]

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.]
