*The circles blink away*
Sorry, must've been mistaken! Let's go see what Gio's up to.

@Session

*stares at you then smiles*
Okay.
*turns to open the door*

Myriad Reality

*Stops and finally releases the channel with the casting of an ultra-dense sheath of ice to hold the blade*

@Nimda

*without moving I look over and raises my eyebrows*

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

Levy.
*Fixes my gaze on you, the circles in my eyes now fully visible*
As a wisdom spirit, these secrets are what I live for. I have to know.

@Session

What? You… huh? Why the switch up?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*My head shakes barely as if by instinct, before I fully shake it in response*
No... no, you're something else entirely...

@Session

*frowns with genuine concern*
That isn’t nice to say…
*glances at Gio then back at you*
Why are you suddenly so surprised?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

What are you?

@Session

Human? Isn’t that clear?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*My eyes flutter from left to right, shift down, and repeat the process again and again*
...

@Session

*my eyes glow with different runes circling the irises yet I hold my smile*
I’m not sure what you are trying to say.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

Because I've never met a monster...
*Mid-dart, one of my eyes betrays the faintest presence of an ongoing, red magic circle*
...hiding so many S-class skills.

@Session

Hm?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Casts a set of strong protection spells on myself through the channel in the knife*
If you fail, well, I hope Levy's prepared for this. Prove to me that you're worthy.
*Holds the knife out to my right and closes my eyes, and allows magic to flow freely through its structure like water, first casting a ground-based spell, then darkness, then light, followed by gravity, disenchantment, and search, conducting a duet within an orchestra of spells and surprisingly only sipping at my own mana supply*

@Nimda

*glances and smiles*

<Snipped quote by Path>

*My eyes flick from one part of your body to another*
I mean, you clearly didn't have to. You could've killed us when we met.

@Session

Technically, I could’ve killed you both anytime.
*shifts my focus to you, but my attitude remains unchanged from earlier*
But I didn’t want to then and now, even with the contract, but I have expressed that earlier. So I am confused why you are bringing it up again.

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

*Flips from a reverse-grip to holding it up in front of me and attempts to gauge how close the knife is to failing*
Is that all you've got?

@Nimda

It’ll take more than you got, but I love the method…

<Snipped quote by Path>

Why are you putting up with so much from us?

@Session

*looks at you*
What are you talking about?

Myriad Reality

<Snipped quote by Path>

Mmmm...
*Watches you watching Gio with surprised curiosity written across my face*
Hey Levy.

@Session

Yes?
