How? I think we're all feeling off somehow, aren't we?
[ what's he plan to do about it here, without magic? she wobbles a little, with agni's hands on her shoulders, but holds her hands out to the sides to steady herself. ]
As long as I take it slow, I'll be alright. But you lost something too, right?
[ ...ah. of course. her first instinct is to argue the point - of course she'll always worry about him - but brilith has never won any of those, has she? he always brushes it off, and honestly - he's probably right to do so. what's the point in a normal human worrying over a god? isn't that why he always tells her to sleep when he needs to borrow her vigor, because she worries too much to useful to him while she's awake?
still, she can't help thinking about it, and one small protest escapes her, despite her efforts to be a good a summoner and do what her god needs of her. ]
But without our magic, we're both more vulnerable. We may not need to maintain the barrier while we're here, but if something else happens while we're like this...
[ will they be able to do anything about it? she can't even finish the thought. ]
[ will he ever trust her with things like this? or will she only ever be useful to him when she’s kept in the dark - even now, without magic and the bindings of duty? what good does that make her? ]
If you say so.
[ if brilith sounds doubtful, it’s because she doubts it. but she doesn’t really want him to see too much of that, either, so she tries to shake that thought. ]
It’s fine. He’s always running around somewhere during the day, and I wouldn’t want to keep him from that.

gently—or at least he tries, when he can't feel anything—he places his hands on her shoulders.]
I'll look int—uh, I mean, I'll check things out. In the meantime, are you going to be okay moving around...?

he smiles softly.]
Mine isn't one that'll hold me back. It's just a little uncomfortable, that's all.
On the other hand, you might want to consider asking Missile to be your seeing-eye dog.

Is there anywhere you need to get to right now?

[ brilith has no idea if she's done a good job dressing him, but it can't be THAT hard for a dog. it's not like he has to wear a full suit. ]
...I was going to the library to take some books to my room.

[he smiles.]
Perfect, then. I'll come with you.

[ she turns to start walking, hoping she’s heading in the right direction and trying not to look sheepish. ]
I’ve already taken a few, but… the more I can bring back from the library, the better. I’d hate to see them get damaged again.
