[ First things first: TACKLE HUG ATTACK. It was a Long Day At Work — she's still wearing her uniform, in fact — that may or may not have included a warning from the Birdtile's favorite fire bull demon that it's almost time for her to take a week off.
And … Yeah. That's about right. Her wings are fully moulted and her tail is very nearly finished, too. God knows if she'll get lucky enough to have some breathing space between Itchy Nightmare Hell and Hormonal Instinct Hell. ]
So, your staff! Am I just gonna hold it or do I get to try hitting something with it?
Tackle hug is very effective! Macaque catches her and sobs her around once before seeing her down. She's so cute when she wants to bash things, and all the other times too.
"If you can hold it and move it you can hit things. But it's not like a regular solid object, it's shadow magic. Holding it will take a little focus."
He spins his staff out of a deep shadow and holds it or for her. "Remember what I've taught you. Focus on the light sources and making the shadows move with those in mind."
[ Just holding it is gonna be at least one step further than anything she's done with shadow magic before …
Korone's smile brightens to a bright, beaming grin. She asked for this challenge; there's no way she's going to give it anything less than everything. ]
I'll do my best! [ First, though, she dispels the glamour on her tail (which was already hidden by her skirt). She's been practising that particular trick a lot over this past week, holding it for up to half an hour at a time in various environments, testing her willpower and her concentration. Dropping it is like a weight off her shoulders … except instead of her shoulders it's her brain? Whew.
That done, she reaches for his staff, drawing from their previous lessons and especially from the memory of how it had felt when he used shadow magic. It's enough that she's able to hold it; able to feel the weight of it in her hand. ]

[ a video of him doing complicated knife tricks while wearing the tight pants suit
a photo of him working out while wearing pink overalls and a unicorn t-shirt
laying on the floor halfway out of his armor, damn that undersuit is snug, covered in cats and looking distinctly like he's in heaven
a collection of five photos of him in dressy casual outfits korone'd picked out for him when they went shopping together back home ]
Re: May 13th
You're the best.
Only trouble now is that if things don't work out I know what I'm missing.
Re: May 13th
i believe in you guys!!! whatever ends up making you guys happiest
Re: May 13th
I can agree with that sentiment. The last thing he needs in his life is another difficult thing.
Re: May 13th
[ BOTH OF YOU ]
it seems to me like you've both been good for each other so far
and when it comes to wash-nii
he might have already told you something along these lines:
trying means everything
Re: May 13th
He did. And I will. I know that if I screw up with him you'll be pissed, that should help keep me in line.

i have two hands and a will to throw down, we're all about equal opportunity shovel talks in this house ლ(╹◡╹ლ)

Re: May 13th
Re: May 13th
I assume "shovel" references either whacking the offender with one or burying their body afterwards?
Re: May 13th
shovels make pretty good weapons in a pinch after all ƪ(˘⌣˘)ʃ
Re: May 13th
Re: May 13th
but yeah shovels are fun to swing!! it's the weight i think. super satisfying! (p≧w≦q) playing around with one is what got me thinking about scythes
(can i use shadows to make blades eventually?? because turning my staff into a scythe via shadow magic sounds SO cool)
Re: May 13th
Scythes are complicated because of the balance, but I have faith in you. And it'll be fun to train with.

Five seconds later, one appears beside her, leading out to his favorite training spot in the Autumn segment.
"Hey, babygirl." He loves the enthusiasm.
