Well, if we're being truthful, it was me first. He wanted to give me ways to defend myself since - [He gestures down to himself.] - I am not suited for it.
And I can change into a bear. Which - is actually quite a better deterrent than I anticipated. But that's not his magic.
[He goes quiet a moment.]
I shot him once. During a - flood. Some magical mixups. I hadn't held a real gun since the War and I don't ever want to again. So he helped me ensure that I could defend myself and my friends without having to harm another person.

[Her voice was very fond. He missed her, and she missed him just as much.]
We agreed that we'll live together from now on. My cabin will mostly be for storage.
We're hoping the Admiral will approve of an art studio slash workshop in our living space.
no subject
[He puts a hand on his heart.]
And I'm not just saying that because of where I work.
no subject
John doesn't do well alone, and I feel safe and happy. As does he.
Also, this means your meal planning may, or may not, become less chaotic.
no subject
[He is worried about John feeling alone. He might need to bring it up to him because he's now a little worried that he caused that.]
Anything else you'd like to get off your chest, or can we keep going back so I can get into the pants with the elastic?
no subject
[She had no idea. She hadn't seen it yet.]
But I'm good. Let's get you into some nice comfy pants while I get back to making your box.
no subject
[He stands up and reaches down a hand for her.]
And John's art just gives me a headache sometimes. But he's good about warning people first.
no subject
We're planning to test and see what it does to me.
But ah...have you been...blessed by John? It might change things.
no subject
He's taught me spells. Well -
[Taught isn't actually the right word.]
He gives me spells and I just know them.
[Sheehan is as mundane as they come; he doesn't know how to describe it.]
no subject
[Her sigh was gently exasperated.]
Blessings is better than calling you a warlock- and if that's how he teaches you, that's what you are.
It's not a bad thing. But it may be why his paintings don't effect you much.

[She smiles briefly, before reaching out. If Lester allows it, she'll take both hands.]
I understand. I am not that person anymore, who can be gentle in a fight, but I do understand Lester.
But- if you want other spells, especially healing or any of that- restraints or even some hand to hand tips?
Let me know.
I'll teach you.
no subject
I was just - tired of making people worry about me. At least now they know that if something happens, I can keep myself safe.
no subject
[She squeezed his hands gently.]
You know they will anyway. But at least this way, they'll have less reason to fuss.
no subject
But I think you are underestimating how terrifying I am as a bear.
no subject
[She walked with him in an easy ample.]
Consider this my way of showing I care. In my own utterly twisted and weird way.
no subject
[He smiles.]
Have I ever told you what made me fall in love with Arthur?
[Strange, he thinks, how easily that comes out now. Or maybe it's just Sokie's influence.]
no subject
[She tilts her head up at him, offering a small smile. Funny how much they trust each other so much so quickly.]
But no, you didn't. What's the story?
no subject
There were these terrible monsters. Awful things. Someone had brought them in but - I'm not certain of the story.
I was pinned down, calling for help, and here comes Arthur with a goddamn flaming sword to battle it off of me.
There have been books written about this very scenario.
no subject
This is nice. There's a part of her that feels spooked by that but- it's nice.]
You're telling me that Arthur came in like a knight and saved you?
That's something out of a romantic novel, Lester.
no subject
[He happily leans into that touch as they walk.]
no subject
[She chuckled quietly. ]
And now you're married. I'm happy you both found each other eventually. Arthur with a flaming sword...what a look.
no subject
[He takes her to the elevator and lets go to push the button.]
no subject
Because he needs to pose either way.
[She leaned against him, smiling as she waited for the elevator. ]
I call dibs on full teasing rights.
no subject
And you can tease him. As long as I can witness it.
[He can't let him get away that easily.]
no subject
[She offered a mock double take.]
As if I'd leave you out! I'm planning on taking pictures of his offended face anyway. I'll send them to you.
[Ding goes the elevator. And she gives him a gentle nudge so they can get on.]
