- a few days later-
Ari: hmm, that's good but you can do better, i know it
i dodge another slice from Sylvie and catch the arrow Ainsley shot at me
Sylvie: we haven't even hit you once!! shut up!
I see a faint red aura eminate from her and decide to help bring it out
Ari: and what are you gonna do about it? i could easily slip past you and get to Ainsley you know
and to demonstrate my point, i duck under her sweep and kick her from behind, moving a bit to the left to dodge another arrow. The aura gets bigger as Ainsley tightens her grip on her sword and swings at me furiously, without aim or focus. i just keep getting out of the way, running towards Ainsley, deflecting an arrow straight to face my face and disarming her, before pressing a finger to her neck
Ari: now let's see if you can channel that rage
Sylvie looks at me then at Ainsley, anger in her eyes and runs towards us, she chops at my hand to get me away from Ainsley and steps in front of her, the red aura very prominent now
I clap my hands before raising them in surrender
Ari: congrats Sylvie, you now have blood rage
Sylvie: calms down and looks at her hands, before checking her stats

Sylvie: i don't like your methods...... but they are effective
Ari: *smiles* you can handle it, tough love and all that. Ainsley too, good job looking for times when i looked like i wasn't paying attention
Ainsley: i was just trying to slow you down... i don't want to hurt anyone
i place a hand on her shoulder
Ari: but you will have to... this is how this world is. i'm sorry you've been roped into this but this is your life for now, but i swear, i will do my best to make sure you don't need to do anything you wouldn't want to
she smiles and lays a hand on my own
Ainsley: thank you ari... that means a lot
Sylvie throws her arm around my shoulder
Sylvie: so, do we get a break now?
Ari: not yet, Ainsley you got your familiar skill right?
she nods
Ari: would you like to get one now?
-later-
after drawing the summoning circle and getting to buy me some things to help the summoning. Ainsley and I sat down across each other with the summon circle between us as Sylvie sat at the base of a tree nearby snacking on a croquette
