Brisa gawped at her friend. Was this dogged optimism, or something worse? "Astrid..." What to say? How to convince Astrid that this was ridiculous, that this was no excuse for her recklessness? Brisa tried to look into the ninetales' eyes, and despite her heartache, she managed it. "I've...

"Guess not," muttered Brisa, looking away even as her ears started to burn. She tried to force herself to calm down, and focused the way she'd learnt to when she needed to flush radiance and shadow from her mind and body. It helped. Just a little. But she still couldn't raise her eyes. "I know...

Brisa's eyes narrowed. "So you're gonna keep riskin' yer life like this? Even if it hurts you? Even if it kills you?" Her breath rattled in her throat as she clenched her jaw so hard it sent waves of pain through her skull. "Even if it hurts me? Astrid, I..." Don't lose your shit goddamnit...

Brisa pressed the heel of one forepaw into her face and tried to swallow her own feelings. "Astrid, until y'can learn to keep yer radiance in check, I'm gonna worry myself senseless every time you fire it up that you won't fuckin' survive it. I gotta be able to depend on yer survival to depend...

Brisa sighed, shook her mane. "We need to go after Diyem and Sword as soon as we possibly can, and the way you're holdin' up, I don't expect you'll be ready fer that. You're one of our best fighters, Astrid. We can't afford fer ya to be laid up in bed after every fight. And the explosions are...

Astrid... had done the same thing to Starr? What the hell. Brisa shook her head and grit her teeth. She... didn't know what this was. Or how to deal with it. Or how to deal with herself. Maybe if she just talked, she'd say something that wasn't useless. "You're fuckin' spectacular in battle...

Brisa bit her cheek. "You... texted me. You must have wanted to talk about somethin', right?" Gods, she sounded pathetic. She was trying so hard not to get upset and all it did was make her sound vague and useless. "Have y'thought twice about pullin' those kinda shenanigans again?" she added...

Exploding, twice, and knocking me the fuck out. "I'm fine," she said. "Don't suppose someone already filled you in on how the battle went?" It was pretty hard to meet Astrid's eye. She was so earnest. She looked so, so very young in that ninetales body of hers. Wasn't Astrid older than Brisa...

Capitals, she could live without. Punctuation, though. That was a sticking point. Starr's help secured, Brisa set about pacing in the lobby for her friend to arrive. She had too many things in her aching head to determine which of her feelings related to the upcoming questioning and which...

"Astrid." Brisa's heart tensed up in protest at the coming conversation. She'd just seen a slew of blacklight destruction at the guildhouse, and now she was here, to try to... what? Talk some sense into Astrid? Comfort her? Pretend like Astrid wasn't in the infirmary again, for abusing her...

Brisa hadn't been thinking about Astrid. She hadn't been letting herself think about Astrid. She had to worry about Giovanni, and that haze, and Sword, and Diyem, and Karat, and Starr, and– Hadn't Astrid said she wasn't gonna do this shit anymore? Goddamnit. Why did Astrid have to pull this...

"I'll match yer lightshow!" cried Luz. As she charged her plasma to the point of crackling across her whole physical form, ready to grapple with her opponent, she knew this is what she was meant for! Never mind those piddly little sparring matches! To hell with auxiliary duties on Spectrum...

Luz grinned with the sheer thrill of novelty as her opponent used a technique she'd never even heard of! This was already worthwhile! There was no point dodging the Heat Wave. Instead, Luz yowled with pain and delight, and turned into the attack, leaping for Vix with her plasma-wreathed paws...

"Awright! I'm comin' atcha!" Luz ran forward in a burst of light and power, her arms crackling with conjured plasma. Vix was a resilient opponent with a lot of magical power. Luz knew just how to deal with that: the same way she fought every battle. Quick on her feet and lashing out with any...

Luz trilled with delight. "Well hey, darlin'! I feel just the same way about fightin', same as my gal Brisa. Why don't we have a tussle right here'n now, and y'can show me what yer made of!" Blue lightning poured over Luz's silhouetted form, and she took up a ready stance for an informal...

Brisa smiled as she accepted the gummi and pocketed it in her satchel. "I'd be glad t'call ya my friend, partner. Til the day we leave Cibus, may we have each other's backs." like Astrid and I have each other's backs? "Say, why don't we have a battle sometime? That's the best way to get...

I'll hug the entire team at once if I have to! There was something in Saltriv's words and passion that made Brisa think of herself. "I'd care t'see that, partner. I can tell you've got a good heart. Keep it safe, even when things get tough, y'hear?"

Brisa froze at the unexpected touch, then shuddered with emotional tension, then, gradually, relaxed and let out a long, juddery sigh of catharsis. She gave the vine a sort of light pat with one paw. "Thanks for yer support, partner. But really, I'll be fine and there's folks in the posse what...
