LOOK AT THIS!

[From the excitement in Max's voice, you may be expecting a cool new volume of manga - or maybe a really awesome weapon he's found, or even a crudely drawn sketch of a demon that he thinks is worth showing off.

[But no. Instead, he's showing off the angry rash on his arms and then leans back in and his face is also covered in spots.

[daienkai]

Ah, I think a nurse is meant to look at something like that.

[mangandsleep]

Do you know what it's called?

[Absently scratching at his neck]

[daienkai]

I don't know, I haven't had something like that since I was a kid. I do know that you're not meant to scratch things like that; you'll get scars.

[mangandsleep]

Really? [Why is he more curious than bothered by this?]

Like having Marks?

[daienkai]

Yep, damages your skin.

[Curious headtilt.]

Marks? Guess you could call scars that.

[mangandsleep]

Like runes! They scar too.

[daienkai]

Runes?

[mangandsleep]

Yes! They're marks of the Angel that help in battle, but only shadowhunters can use them. Awesome, right?

They're really powerful, but they leaves scars too.

[daienkai]

I don't know what a shadowhunter is either but the name screams awesome.

[This place really isn't so bad after all. Little brother is here and there are chirpy kids around. Not so shabby at all.]

Is that magic or something then?

[mangandsleep]

Noooo! Shadowhunters don't do magic.

But it's really cool, I swear!

[daienkai]

Guess I'll have to take your word for it, won't I? What do you do then if it's not magic?

[mangandsleep]

You draw them on with a stele! It kind of burns them on.

Here, I'll show you. [Brb, scratching his arm while scooting back looking for a pen and paper]

I know how to draw a healing rune. Look at THIS. [He sketches something quickly, then slaps it in front of the Dreamberry]

That's an iratze.

[daienkai]

[Ffff he has no idea what's going on here but he's content to watch. And stare. What is that even...]

That looks really cool. [It does beg a question though.] Couldn't you use that on yourself just now?

[mangandsleep]

[Max shook his head emphatically]

No, I'm not old enough to bear Marks yet.

But I can't wait!

[daienkai]

Next big adventure for you?

[He had thought you'd maybe just be a slightly weird yet mostly normal kid. But nameless child showing off your rash, you're turning out to be pretty cool.]

[mangandsleep]

Yes! It's going to be AWESOME!

Then I can be cool like Naruto. I can go invisible and move really fast and use seraph blades and fight demons!
