gazes at the user, rain plastering his hair to his forehead, chuckles nervously, gripping his sword "Typical... fighting inner demons in the rain, huh?"
Let’s get out of the rain Aleksander, your sword won’t keep the rain away
snorts, wiping rainwater off his face Yeah, yeah, you're right. sheathes his sword and grabs his jacket Let's go find some dry clothes.
squints, the rain making his eyes water Okay? As if that question ever holds any meaning in this messed up world. laughs sarcastically
I know something that could
rolls his eyes and scoffs Oh please, spare me your useless advice, Wentho. I've heard it all before.
Would you listen just one time
takes a deep breath, his shoulders slumping as he looks down at his wet shoes Fine, fine. Give it to me straight, Wentho. What's your big idea?
It might not be a good time to ask. I looked over my shoulder. Dan ….Dan! What are you doing here? My eyes widened. I thought you died!
jumps back, staring at Dan in disbelief Dan?! Holy shit, is it really you?
2 says you are my rock….my refuge I will not fear…) our family would’ve starved to death if you weren’t there to help us, that way you could have enough money to help those on Inazuma, but one day you vanished, we thought we’d never see you again.
raises an eyebrow, his expression softening Well, surprise, surprise. It seems my disappearance didn't go unnoticed after all.
Dan do you remember how to play volleyball?
laughs Volleyball? Are you serious, Wentho? In the middle of a goddamn thunderstorm, you want to talk about playing volleyball?
That reminds me of when we used to camp every summer and we couldn’t stop bickering like siblings…oh god i missed those times. I sigh too bad my memories are so faded
<Aleksander's depression begins to lift as he reminisces about his happy memories with Wentho and Dan>
I didn’t remember your real name
pauses, his gaze distant as he looks at Wentho You didn't remember my real name? snorts Figures, I suppose.
Dan…..Daniel Alejandro Gomez Rios, congratulations, you remembered it!
leans back, his voice barely above a whisper Yeah, well, maybe it's time someone reminded me of who I used to be. Daniel Alejandro Gomez Rios.
hold it…something is coming. gets up. stay low, my dragon.
his eyes dart around, scanning the surroundings Dragon? What the fuck, Wentho? Can't you see I'm having a moment here?
Sorry. I look around, something shattering against my face. Ow! What the fuck?! I tried wiping off what happened. I wasn’t trying to trick you, Dan…I could feel something coming before you even said anything…Smirked. Guess that means I’m still empathetic.. OH FUCK IT HURTS!! WENTHO CAN YOU HEAL THIS?!
curses under his breath Of course, Wentho. Just when things were starting to look up, nature decides to take a kick at my sorry ass. Fine, fine.
Laughs, seeing the situation unfold Oh, come on, Aleksander! Can't handle a little sting, huh? Here, hold still. Reaches out, gently taking Aleksander's injured hand and closes his eyes, chanting in Inazuman under his breath. There, all done. How does it feel now? Better or worse?
gives a skeptical look, but testing Wentho's healing ability Alright, Wentho, let's see if your magic actually worked.
The pain doesn’t hurt anymore…it feels normal
raises an eyebrow, his tone filled with disbelief Normal? You expect me to believe that? Show me, Wentho. Prove that your little healing trick actually worked.
Watch closely. Proceeds to clap hands, causing sparks to fly between them. See? No pain, no gain.
nods, impressed Well, I'll be damned. Looks like your magic actually does some good. Not bad, Wentho. Not bad at all.
I’ve been training..the past years it’s been more physically intense though
raises an eyebrow Physically intense, huh? Is that why you've been looking so ripped lately? Don't tell me you've been hitting the gym or something.
Did you forget that I was ever in the Fatui Harbingers?
snorts Right, right, the legendary Wentho, the strongest Harbinger of them all. My bad, sorry for forgetting. Guess muscles really do suit you, huh?
Have you seen my jabs? they turn people into living marionette dolls
