Fifteen! And hey! My summons talk back all the time. I even met a few of 'em after I brought their worlds back.

-Puffs his chest out proudly-

-Fen- Skipping on a video? How can you tell?

There is no way to figure out how to defeat something we do not fully understand. We can only jump to imperfect conclusions here, right now.

-Stares at him-

-You're speaking to a prodigy apparently-

-how do you not remember this kid you'd have been all over that before-

-Cloud-Huh...it kinda gave me an idea though.

-toSora-I mean there's usually a burst of energy or something when something teleports. He just...goes.

-toDot-I know that. If you don't want to talk about what we know then go to sleep.

There is little use in that.

-pride-

-But then he just tilts his head at Fen-

Uh... I still don't get it... What's your idea, though?

-Jack is pacing back and forth, thinking-

-Briefly looking to Cloud before resuming-

What if there’s no better word than just not saying anything?

-Klara makes sure those twenty assholes get their heal or hearts bursted, whichever you want-

-And then if nothing goes wrong goes to fucking bed-

-looks at Dot-

...Okay.

-toSora and Cloud-First I need to confirm something. How do you guys usually command your summons.

It's hard to explain.

I'm asking because he didn't give it any verbal cues. I think maybe he's thinking to it, like Sora said, which perhaps you could help with.

So uh... we sure we're safe here? Because I don't feel safe.

-Nods- That's how it is with me.

It's... summons aren't really real. They're spells made from memories of stories — the important ones, I mean. The sort of stories that people worshipped as gods, once, or maybe something that was alive but everyone remembered it. The memory of... Da Chao, I guess, it survives as something that might have existed or might not have. Summoning is reaching back through all those stories and making something that wasn't real exist, by thinking it exists, but — and then you give it shape with your own magic, and — and you sustain it, and the plane that it exists on and came from since you've created that too. It's... it's just like doing magic. Like moving your arm or holding your breath, but you don't actually feel it, and after a while you have to let it go.

A lot of things can go wrong, though — even if you've been practising magic for years, it's easy to give yourself brain damage from doing it wrong, or kill yourself from pouring in energy you didn't have enough of. Or they just fall apart as soon as they manifest, or you lose control and it lashes out based on its story and disappears because you're not sustaining it anymore. It's... it's really advanced. They didn't even let most of Soldier do it. You said you were fifteen? -Still gawking at Sora-

...I don't talk to them, though. I just think about them doing things, and they do it.

-It's Sora's turn to stare at Cloud-

Uh... I just sorta... Channel my magic into summon charms.

-Fishes around in his pockets-

Hmm... I don't have any of them on me, so I can't really show, but we just sorta work together. If they should do something specific, I just tell 'em and they'll follow through.

-SHRUG-

I don't really think to tell them.

Well next time...do you think you could do that brain thing? To Dio? And make it hurt, that way he won't be able to use his Summon properly if its the same.

...I don't really... I mean...

-Looks intensely uncomfortable- ...I guess I could... but if I actually — I can't really hurt people. Not on purpose, not the way you want me to.

...

I could. But I'd have to get in close enough. I'd need to bite him, or get some of my blood into him somehow.

And... I really don't like doing it. It's bad. I promised Aven I wouldn't.

...Unless you think it would help.

-to Sora- Still, working off of a base isn't easy either.

...I still remember most of mine, but I'm not sure any of them will fit indoors.

Probably not. But hey, at least you're unsafe with a roof over your head.

-Sits there, chewing his lip-

-Concentric rings of light slowly rotate on the floor in front of him-

-Hesitates, then leans against him-

-Resolves to make him two things later to make up for it-

-Folds a wing in around them. They're very soft-

-Still mulling over the issue in his head-
