[ leading the way out and into the forest, falco makes sure perle is overhead to keep watch for them. gives them more than enough time to find things that are, like . . . fighting, or something.
they’re lucky to find two stag beetles during it out at the base of a tree. ]
Okay, [ crouching down for a better look, falco starts explaining: ] you need to focus as hard as you can when you want it to work. You have to tell them something— like stop or calm down, and really mean it.
[ rules!!: ]
Don’t try to move around or change your form if you’ve got another; it only works in one.
[ and that one is usually your neutral one, not offensive or defensive. ]
And if you don’t get it the first few times, that’s okay. It took me more than a month to work out.
[ okay. she can do this. feelings made real, poured into an object, that's like her life story at the moment. so she channels positive vibes as hard as she can and goes. ]
[ it might not work. it might not work the first few handful of times she tries it— and that’s perfectly normal! she has falco’s support, though, and he’ll be sure to keep rooting her on to avoid burnout. closer to the tenth or so shot, ahiru should be getting a reaction: the beetles pause for only about three seconds before either returning to their battle posts, or . . .
[ those beetles are at her. gently, falco attempts to lead them away as they buzzed about. eventually, they give up and go separate ways. ]
Just don’t give up, and practice a lot. [ again, it took a whole month of constant practice from falco to get it working, and even then, he runs the risk of mishaps. ] Just be careful not to use them on people, soon. Coming after you instead of calming down . . . Could happen, but only if you do it wrong.
[ a beat. ]
Why don’t we practice together? Every day, same spot.
[ she smiles, so thankful. she's so glad to have met him, someone on a similar wavelength to her, who doesn't make her feel weird about not hurting anything. ]
You've been so kind. I hope I can repay you somehow.
