[the feed clicks on to voice at first, the rustling sound of cloth as someone prepares to make a post. the voice that starts speaking is low, curt, businesslike and impatient.]

[His voice is a little different, and he's definitely taller, but she's positive that this is the same ninja that she spoke to on Halloween, as well as one of the Guests who went missing.]

Naruto-kun?

[scentedcamellia]

I don't believe so, no. [She goes on to explain.] Most of us find our partners when we first enter the school. For example, Black*Star and I have been partners for over three years now, and it's difficult for most of us to resonate with people who are not our partners.

But, I have let Guests wield me before, for practice and things. [She tilts her head.] Why?

[Video]

[ramenandawesome]

I've been asking people, how to be a better meister. One that can resonate with two weapons instead a'just one.

[ a momentary pause before his arm stretches out, rakes fingers through his hair. ]

But since we're from other worlds, I wanted to know if we're different from you guys.

[She smiles at him. It's an innocent enough question, and she's actually happy that someone cares enough to ask. Becoming a better partner is a noble thing.]

Most souls are unable to resonate with lots of different people. Those with more accepting souls, such as myself and Professor Stein, can adapt to suit our partners. [It's why she can resonate with Black*Star, or at least, that's how it was in the beginning. His soul would have rejected most other people.]

From what I've seen, guests have an easier time resonating with others than those from my world. [She gives him another curious look.] Are you interested in wielding two Weapons simultaneously? Or separately?

Accepting souls... [ he repeats the words at a murmur. while he doesn't really understand what makes a soul accepting, or how souls can really be all that different from others, it's obvious that this is the first time he's heard of such a thing. but as far as the question she asks, that naruto has been entirely unabashed at declaring. he holds her gaze comfortably, and the easy smile has yet to leave his mouth. ]

At the same time.

[Tsubaki nods in understanding before she continues.]

I only know of two Meisters who successfully resonate well with two weapons. One is Death the Kid, who wields the Thompson sisters. Their forms are identical pistols. The other is Kilik, who's weapons are twins, Pot of Fire and Pot of Thunder. [There's a trend here.] I've only ever seen siblings wielded simultaneously, though that doesn't mean another way isn't possible.

[ one fist punches into his opposite palm, and a look of renewed determination settles over his features. ]

Alright! So which one's gonna teach me?

[Video]

[scentedcamellia]

Mm, I don't think either of those two will be able to. Death the Kid is Shinigami, and Kilik isn't currently in the city. [She thinks for a moment.]

Professor Stein might be able to help. Or I could try. [She smiles.] In the end, it will simply take a lot of practice.

[ramenandawesome]

Then that's it Tsubaki-chan.

I'm counting on you. Train the hell outta me'ttebayo.

[Video]

[scentedcamellia]

[She chuckles quietly. Oh dear, what has she gotten herself into?]

Very well, Naruto-kun. I'll do my best!

Now, do you already have two Weapons agreeing to this as well?

[Video]

[ramenandawesome]

[ well. ... they don't know that they're going to agree. but they will. eventually. ]

K- kindof.

[Video]

[scentedcamellia]

[She nods, smiling calmly.]

You'll need to be able to resonate with each of them, and they'll have to be compatible with each other as well.

[She thinks.]

Though, the easiest way for you to get used to it might be to wield one of them and myself at the same time. I can adapt to both of you until you get used to three wavelengths.

[For the record, she has no idea if this will work.]

And I'll have to ask Black*Star and make sure it's okay.

[Video]

[ramenandawesome]

R-really? [ skepticism and uncertainty aside, naruto is, perhaps as expected, all enthusiasm. and a little genuine surprise. ] You'd do that for me?

[Video]

[scentedcamellia]

Of course!

[It really isn't that daunting an idea.]

It's just for practice, of course, so there's no harm to it.

[Video]

[ramenandawesome]

Ahhhhhhhh Tsubaki you're the best'ttebayo!

[Video]

[scentedcamellia]

A-Ah, I'm glad it makes you happy, Naruto-kun.

[Have a smile~]

I don't know how well it will work, but I'll try.
