[Shiiiiiiiiiit. Al doesn't bother with telling him he's coming. There is something deeply wrong with Yuca, and he needs to know exactly how dangerous he is.

The man's fought in wars before. He's quick and agile and ruthless -- perhaps a match for Al, unpracticed as he is in this life -- but with his Artifact, he'll be safe. In fact, he activates it before he comes into eye or earshot.

The metal plates clang over his arms and legs, covering him from toes to fingertips to neck. The armor barely makes a sound as he moves -- and he moves as though it weighs nothing at all.

He knows Negi will be able to feel that he's using it.

Al steps onto the bank of the lake, watching him passively for a few minutes, confirming that Yuca isn't going to drown himself... but his legs are still in the water.]

The squid.

[Al's voice is soft, almost conversational.]

It can still reach you if you lay there.

I knew there was something.

[A soft, dreamlike voice. Like he's not surprised to see a boy in a suit of armor at all.]

The waters are never still.

[He's still cautious. Though someone who doesn't know him won't be able to realize it, if Yuca's paying attention. Well, he might.]

Most waters this big aren't. The wind, the moons.

[A tiny smile.]

[He's not paying attention. He hasn't really even looked at Al yet.]

Plural. Even though... there should only be one.

[Moon, of course. Yuca frowns, watching the sky.]

Shouldn't there?

[Negi had felt Al's Artifact activate. It set him on edge, especially with what Al had warned him of, so he'd set off looking over the network, to see if he could find anything of note.

Surprise surprise, he'd found Yuca's post.]

You might want to mind going into the water like that.

I might.

[Softly, absently, never taking his eyes off of the sky.]

... Don't stay in the water too long. You'll get sick.

That hardly matters.

You would be surprised.

I don't think I would be.

[Indeed, he's just. Sort of there. Not much else could be said for him.]

Your sins are gone. It's an affront to the nature of things.
