"If I can't move the heavens above, I will move Hell"
Sah's brow furrowed as the other Abandoned spoke of her abilities. "Not necessarily. It might have one action, but not one use. You can harm someone, yes. But you can also protect others with it by removing threats." He stated simply, not wanting to pressure the woman into talking about it further if she didn't want to. Sah hummed as Aino spoke of her family's situation. "I see." And he truly did. As leader of his pack, he knew full well the weight that came with leadership. With being responsible for the wellbeing, future, and happiness of loved ones. Of the constant stress, self-doubts, sacrifice, and more that often came up. As such Sah also knew the rewards and pride that came from leading well and keeping your family happy and safe. "Your mother is lucky to have you." He stated as clearly as any other fact. sah

AINO Aino huffed, in no need of being reassured by a boy on using magic. The look she threw him was not exactly irritated, but not appreciative either. "The intent does not change the fact that it causes harm," she replied firmly. "As far as magic goes, it remains among the less versatile ones. Even lightning can be creative. Death is death, and nothing else."
Fitting for a soldier, while a fishwife would find little use for it. Unless she lifedrained the fish instead of letting them freeze; but that was just adding to her workload. "This is becoming very sappy," the woman noted, as Sah started up with the sympathy. "Much as I enjoy yer company, lad, don't you have work to do?"

AINO It was her turn to raise a brow when her question had the young man backing offer liked he'd been burned. Any other time she might have shrugged and allowed him to keep the misunderstanding, but the shift was so sudden that it felt plain wrong.
"No offense was intended, youngling," Aino called after his back, her tone softening. "It was a question, not a dismissal." She hesitated, chewing on the inside of her cheek, then added, "I don't do so well with sympathy. You touched a nerve, is all." It was the same reflex that turned worry or grief into anger; a thorny layer of defense to prevent nosy gossip and ensure that only those who truly cared stayed to listen.

AINO Aino waved away all the apologies with a gruff but well-intending shake of her head. "Think nothing of it," she urged, that lopsided smile returning to tease out a dimple. "Sympathy, compliments - they taste the same. I ain't doing what I do to be praised, and when people do I don't know what to feel 'bout it." For many reasons, but perhaps mostly because her kindness stemmed from a sense of duty and responsibility, rather than genuine desire to care for others. If it was up to her, and there was anyone remotely capable of taking over her job, she would be gallivating off to do completely different things.
But she told Sah none of that. Instead she merely stomped up to a neaby house and borrowed a shovel from their porch, to offer the young man. "Knock yerself out," she told him with a grin. "One think you no doubt have learned already; there is always snow to be shoveled in Halo." And that was what she would be doing for the rest of the day. Any other banter from her side would be light and good-natured, the sort of ribbing an older sister or relative might offer. However long Sah ended up enduring it for, by the time they parted ways Aino's mood had improved quite a bit, and she waved him off with another job offer - if he ever had the time. - FIN For the good times that we share, and the bad times that we'll have | ||
