Then I'm not worried about you. [All he'd needed to know is right there. She'll be fine. And when it counts he'll be there to help shoulder the load, coven wise. Her problems are hers. That's been the odd thing about this place he has only needed to reach out. Not command. He had found it crazy at first. He'd needed the structure of command.

But now, it gives him room to find where he belongs in the coven. He winces as her aggression increases but he's used to another fighter who gets better the more aggressive he gets. It takes him a few hits to adapt to her changes. She's fast, has the endurance to burn but then so does he. But he is taking more hits. She's faster than he is.

Time to adapt again. More feints, more hammering blows that take advantage of his strength metal and human. He's tiring but he can beat she is too. Shiro doesn't want to admit he needed this. He needed to feel a fight again to remind himself he's still a paladin. Instead of sitting around unable to get back to where he's needed most.]

You know you can ask me questions about myself too. If you want to. I know I said a few confusing things in that dream.
