[criticalimpact]

-- get back here!

[The gear comes on suddenly with the view lopsided and on it's side. It only shows the floor, until a Poocheyna's claws pass by, followed by Terra.]

Give that back! Give it--!

[There's a growl and Terra's wayfinder is suddenly thrown at the ground with force, broken and in pieces

[........Terra :( After all that yelling, she just walks over to him, quietly bending down to inspect the damage.]

action

[criticalimpact]

... what am I going to do with her.

[He throws the pokeball back in his bag with more force than necessary, before collapsing to sit on his bed, head in hands.]

I'm sorry, Aqua.

action

[watersbound]

[Shakes her head absentmindedly - she knows it wasn't his fault, much as her heart might have skipped a beat at the sound of the glass shattering - carefully picking up the shards of glass one by one. She turns them over in her palm, seeing if they still fit together.]

I think... it might be fixable. [Her words are careful; she doesn't want to get his hopes up, in case it won't hold together or the fact that she originally used magic complicates repairs somehow.]

action

[criticalimpact]

["Think." That means it won't be as good as it was before. He sighs again.]

I wish it didn't need fixing in the first place.

action

[watersbound]

[Without magic, she can't exactly reshape the glass - and she's never tried to work with glass without it. Finishes picking up all the pieces that are big enough to bother with, cradling them in her hands as she goes to sit next to him. Lets them rest on her lap, just turning one shard around so it catches the light.]

Me too, but... It wasn't your fault. [I was going to put some more introspection here but then my brain turned off GOOD NIGHT.]

action

[criticalimpact]

... it's not going to be as good as it was before, isn't it?

action

[watersbound]

[bites her lip] ... Probably not, but... I don't think it'll make a difference. The spell on them is stronger than the glass, I promise. [Look at Aqua, still believing in their spell when she has no magic.....]

action

[criticalimpact]

[Aqua, your optimism for all hope and friendship is astounding. He smiles a little at that, reaching up to ruffle her hair.]

Thanks.

action

[watersbound]

[Hey, hey, you'd believe in them too if you'd used it to destroy the X-blade. Tries to push his hand away with the hand that's not holding pieces of glass.]

Don't thank me yet, okay?

action

[criticalimpact]

I know. I'm not building my hopes ups that it would be as good as new, but it pays to have you here to patch it up at least a little.

action

[watersbound]

[her turn to ruffle his hair a little.]

Can you find me something to put these in? [She needs to go... buy Pokéglue. :|a]

action

[criticalimpact]

I think I have a small pouch somewhere.

action

[watersbound]

[nods]

That would work.

action

[criticalimpact]

Alright.

[He gets up to get it then.]

action

[watersbound]

Thanks, Terra.

[Waits, sifting the pieces together.]

action

[criticalimpact]

[He comes back and hands it to her, going back and taking out his pokeball and looking contemplative.]

I might stick with just Volt for a while. I'm putting her in the computer.
