being the ice knight,
aftermath,
magic came back wrong,
got what she wanted,
paper journal,
makes it snow,
so much for a white christmas,
magic is back... gdit,
no magic knight behavior,
magic practice,
anger management required,
well crap,
to do list,
chills apartments,
regaining control

I mean. Umi still has a ways to go, and her magic has hit a sort of snag which is why he decided to show up in person, but. Shush. He's being reflective over here. ]

...It's... not going in the best way possible, and Umi frowns, hands on her hips, debating whether another tryst at localized freezing might well wreck the tree for good.]

Interesting. He's never seen anyone just get stuck like that. Doing magic is supposed to be the challenging part - not doing it should be easy! ]

...Alright, round two. [A nod: like her words, mostly to herself.]

The rains keeps falling, smoothly... hey, maybe it's falling a bit harder now? ...but that's also okay... it's not like she's not intending to make it--]

Gah-! ...No, dammit! [Um. Poor tree?]

Clef utters something that probably loosely translates to "OMGWTF" in Cephiroan and there's a very loud FLOOMPH and a blast of hot air coming from behind Umi. Maybe also a brief fiery glow. Anyone who had been looking at him would have seen a very large fireball expand and dissipate around him, like an explosion in slow motion - oddly flashy, but it seemed to have done the job well enough. The needles were once again replaced with rain, for now. ]

She turns, squinting through the mist to spot a small figure standing past it. Her face falls. There's an odd mix of gratefulness and Ack! He saw this mess in her expression.]
...Clef.

When-? ...How long have you been back there??

Not that he would have cared if she was. He totally doesn't momentarily look slightly cuter as a defense mechanism against female wrath or anything. You're imagining things. ]
Only a few minutes.
[ That is clearly not the case, however, he realizes after a moment. It's just that her way of doing magic right now is somehow... kind of angry-ish. Like she has a lot of pent-up subconscious rage or something. Yep, that would probably do it.
So, that must be her problem. He was a little surprised he didn't notice it before, but it wasn't as though he had had much opportunity to watch her do magic since her abilities returned. ]

[The cute never went unnoticed either. Here's a Water Knight looking slightly guilty at not just the reaction but the way Clef had to intervene to cancel her magic gone awry.]
...I've been meaning to talk to you, you know.

[ Slight smile. Conveniently showing up when needed is totally part of his job description.
More seriously, he adds, ]
I'm glad you realized about Kazuo.
Reply
[Because he was worried about how would she react? Or just too worried about her and Fuu to bother mentioning it? Still, the way Aya put it...] You went after him to get him out of our way, didn't you.

[ He had left Kazuo tied to a tree, but there was no telling how soon he might have escaped. And it certainly wouldn't have been difficult for Umi to go back and try to free him. After all, even if he was somewhat protected by a cage made of branches, it wouldn't have been hard for some ambitious (or vicious, rather) soul to kill him while he was unable to fight back. ]
I didn't want to take any chances.
