Who: Apt. ΠΛ, Apt. Y, interested fourth floor denizens
When: Day 45, early afternoon
Where: ΠΛ
What: Home renovations

[The door to Apt. Π is open, and Zexion's sweeping out the last remains of dried plants, soil and dust out with a makeshift (if functional) broom).]

Clearing in an expedient manner is commendable, but there are several ways of doing so that don't leave the entire floor reeking of noxious smoke.

Limited as well?

I can maintain Uri without any trouble, but if I try to do more than that . . . [shrug] It drains pretty quick. Less than half an hour.

What is the time you would have without such a limitation?

It depends on what I'm using it for. Closer to an hour in a really serious fight? Maybe more if I'm only using one or two weapons.

A half to a third, then, and with little to channel it through besides.

Not as severe as the limitations on Cure Arts, but not far off.

Aa . . . I had to go through Zhen Ji to get anything close to my weaponry back, and I don't know if it'll last if I leave his service.

If it is dependent on powers within his domain, I would wager not.

Had we the materials here, I would construct something for you myself.

I don't even know what the materials for something like it would be. I never studied the technology. —As far as I remember.

'As far as you remember'?

There's still some gaps . . .

'Some' indeed.

I doubt it would be within your ability to remember, but the 'you' that existed ten years into your future timeline had obviously concluded at least a cursory investigation. As for my own experience, the materials for weapons capable of channelling the flow of magic are primarily constructed of shards and crystals formed of condensed elemental essences.

It'd be nice if we could just get our hands on shit like that.

Short of releasing Heartless upon this world, I know of no easy way to do so. Asking such materials of the gods here might be possible, but given their weakened state, the cost for the distilled essence of their power would likely be incredibly high.

Unless . . .

It may be within Tohsaka Rin's ability. Or hers and mine together.

—That girl? Seriously?

You've met?

Yeah, she had an open party the other night.

I'm sorry to have missed it; it would have been interesting to see her work.

It wasn't bad. Not too crowded or anything. . . . And I guess she makes good conversation.

And your impression of her?

[shrugs] I don't mind her. She seems like she's easy for me to get along with . . . The kind of person where it's not a huge deal if you disagree a little.

No. If anything, having the resilience to defend your own points of view would be a gain her respect, rather than lose it.

I had wondered if the two of you would get along.

Right, better than the way most people just get pissed off and try to pretend they're not.

Why?

Curiosity. I found myself enjoying speaking with her in much the way I enjoy speaking with you, and wondered how you would interact together.

You are unmistakably both prodigies.

—What?
