The heck? How am I even supposed to memorize that?!

[Nagi madly flips through his spell book, flopped out on a mushroom on the third floor, wearing his black shirt and pants. More like angrily laying on it, unable to keep this stuff in his mind long enough to memorize it. It took him years to memorize his lightning spells. Having to relearn to ice was just as difficult. And yes, his pronunciation was horrific and stilted in a way only a person with a English accent could pull off.]

Does Greek really need to be that hard??

Fine, next! Latin...

....god, I'm still bad at Latin too.

Immitte. Okay, I can remember that word. Immitte. Immitte. Immitte. Got it.

Maybe?

[He finally gives up, yelling loudly to anyone who can hear.]

Tell me someone around can speak Latin or ancient Greek! I'm about to die over here!

Try not to sound so freakin' innocent at that. I only knew like six lightning spells anyway.

[celena]

I see. [That sounds unimpressive until she considers the implications for a moment.] Then again I suppose one doesn't more than one strike of lightning to take down an entire leviship.

[bestworstdad]

Too bad I can't show off my custom spell here! You'd be pretty amazed.

[celena]

[Celena goes quiet for a moment, her gaze turning inwards as she imagines a summoned lightning strike. ]

Does the lighting leap from you to your enemies or do you summon it from the skies?

[Either way, that sort of raw power would be formidable. She'd always been fascinated in that sort of weaponised power]

If you regain your powers, and when we aren't living in the middle of a wooden tree, I'd like to see a demonstration of that power.

[bestworstdad]

It's not exactly as easily explained as that. Besides, it wasn't just lightning. The spell was called Thousand Bolts for a reason...

[Yeah, he takes his homemade spells that far.]

Huh? Couldn't you get one now? Just 'cause I can't use electricity doesn't mean I can't use the equivalent spell in ice.

[celena]

Could you? I thought that was what you were struggling with?

[But she shouldn't be cheeky to a person with that sort of power. She presses her lips tight and forces herself to be respectful again.]

If you're able to rain down a thousand bolts of ice, then that could be invaluable. There is an ant's nest under the raspberry bush outside the tree, and if they came after us, their mouths are fierce enough they could bite off our limbs with ease.

[bestworstdad]

I can use it just fine! Memorizin' it is the problem.

And it would be really be like that either. It's like the same power but different...kind of. Does that make any sense? Ants aren't really that scary anyway.

[celena]

You say they're not scary, but I beheaded an ant the other week when it came hunting for a woman and it still kept running! There are thousands of those things and their jaws are more than enough to tear chunks out of a person.

[bestworstdad]

Ain't that why you should be blowin' up the whole thing instead of being all nice and neat?
