Hm. [ he's got. 0% comfort skills on the memory loss bit, but the rest is. uh. also not great. ] Explains why you've both got the skills, I guess. How long did you stay with them?
[ honestly, part of this is also that learning to talk and fight is so important to any good jrpg character. how else will you talk shit midbattle ]
It's the Institute of Planar Research and Exploration. We got picked to be the first people on our planet to get to go explore the other planes of existence.
[ taako and lup are fantasy nasa and this will never not be funny to me ]
21. [ wolf throws her a bone so she gets to know hes baby. "hes 21" baby. and he makes a face at that ] So... space exploration? Just like that, after spending years cooking for mercs? No entry tests?
Aren't you supposed to listen to all my conversations? [ it's teasing, though. ]
Not in space so much, but uh. In my original world, sure. I'm real good at magic. So is Taako. Like, that's not a joke, I'm real good at what I do. The IPRE picked us because we know our shit.
We just got nerfed here, which is why I'm asking you to teach me how to sword.
You're the one who said I might've been a merc. Testing out if it fits. [ he's so deadpan it is impossible to tell if he's fucking with her. ] And... let's say a favor, for now.
[ is he trying to sound like rufus on purpose or is he serious ]
[ give him a snark inch he will take a snark mile. anyway, he shifts his stance a little ]
I think you've got the basics of striking down. I'll go slow, so try to dodge and parry when I attack now. If you can't manage the follow up attack, just dodging while keeping hold of your sword's good. Think you can handle it?

You're doing decent with it so far. [ the. the sword. this is a compliment maybe. ]
no subject
Decent is high praise from you, I feel like. [ c: ] Here's hoping it helps me not die.
[ ... ] If I do, though, would you mind looking out for Taako?
no subject
[ this is wolf's way of refusing to accept lup dying i guess ]
no subject
I am. What do you think this is! [ but she appreciates it. ] I just know if I lose, he's... he'll need people.
Will you hold onto a letter for me, actually? If I wrote one for him. Just say yes, and I'll do my best not to die, okay?
no subject
Alright, but not for free. You'll owe me.

Well, fine, but only because I want to. I already offered favors to you and Swan, so there.

I can dodge. I'm an expert at that. [ she says wryly.
