Forest (Aichi)
-Aichi's surprised to see that the tree cut in two so easily...-
-...But yeah, Aichi agrees. He doesn't really think punches translate to swordplay.-
"I-I appreciate the help..."
-...Just as good as X?-
-...OK, yeah, he's sort of reminded of -EX-'s name right now...-
-Aichi knows she doesn't mean -EX-, but it sort of still is...-
"...T-Thank you..."
-...Extremely awkward.-
-And then he gets surprised by Ciel's demonstration. L-Look at her go...!-
"W-Wow... T-That's amazing...!"

(SCUTTLES over as well at his breakneck pace.)
EHEHEHAHAHAHAAA! Ehehehe— oh man, oh god we— we got 'em, Gracia, we got 'em...
(hearty pat on the back)
Backawee, sloowly, noosiddenmovements...
(holding her ground, all stoic-like... Until she hear the Kid's query.)
...Eh, noo. Ah'mjistachecken.
(probably woulda been better to feign otherwise, but Mac doesn't really think about these things... She is small.)
(glowin'...)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019-She rests her head against him, cheeks warm-
Thank you... I feel brave around you...
-She whispers a little-
I hope you're real.
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Forest (Aichi)
-R-Replicate it?-
-...OK, calm down... You've been far less clumsy since you got back, and you've been moving more efficiently overall... It's not like you're going to trip and hurt someone...-
-...Is that a result of what -EX- did to him...? Did he enhance Aichi's physical abilities as well...?-
"A-All right..."
-He attempts this, and while he doesn't mess up from clumsiness and he has a good amount of speed and handling; it's clear that he simply has never wielded a blade before now. The way he does it scream 'absolute newbie'.-
-However, it's clear that the raw potential is there; most notably in his reflexes. With enough training he'll get somewhere.-
-Aichi's certain he didn't do very well, but...-
"H-How did I do...?"
-He can't help but be nervous.-
(HUGE SMILE... small sigh...)
Truth is stranger than fiction, Gracia... Heh! And often more mediocre... They don't make up malodorous fashion victims like me...
(Feels... faint shame, associating with someone so pure and accepting her praise and affection... faint shame... just like with family...)
…!!
(NARROW DODGE
, the kick grazing her side and stripping off some feathers.)
...YERENFERET, YANK.
(SQUAWKS and jukes off to the side, trying to get behind Shavon.)
(star don't care if she pretend to grab it... it just hangs there in the sky and lets her.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019... Good.
-She gets comfier against him-
-And stays silent for a while-
What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?Outside (Aichi)
-Oh, um... Right...-
"I-I guess I might have gotten a little carried away..."
-He's pretty sheepish now.-
-And then Ciel offers him the sports drink, and while he doesn't usually drink them he can't just turn it down.-
"O-Oh, thank you..."
-He's not sure what an E-tank is, but apparently humans can't have them...-
-He starts drinking some of sports drink.-

(star don't mind... hard to say what its intentions are, really, but if it had them, it's safe to say by that gentle glow that it'd take that in stride...)
(something's crawling up Shavon's back... maybe her sins...?)
(No wait, it's just a chicken AAAA IT'S CRAWLING ONTO YOUR FACE SHAVON QUICK GET IT OFF)
THERE'LLBENOOFAIRTHERDESRUPTIONSENTHESFLOCK...!
…
(Leans into Gracia a bit, resting his big, ponderous head on her shoulder and breathing softly.)
make it through this year if it kills you yet | 2001-2019(Squawks as Shavon gets a good, hard grasp of her tailfeathers, pecking up her nose and latching on in retaliation. Is also repeatedly punching at Shavon's throat cuz u kno... she's a mean Glasgow bitch deep down.)
(aw it really doesn't mind... how could a star mind...? such a grand and intoxicating innocence... it's just chillax, y'kno? even with this weird shit going on with it, it's just gotta go with the flow...)
...Shall I come with?
(Gently loosens his lil' hug.)

...
(shakes her head, averting her gaze from the star)
Not yet. If we're not careful, we'll frighten the people here.
...Even if they do deserve it.
(with a wry chuckle, Ake shrinks the Ultra Ball and returns it to her holster, stretching her arms)
