Fourteenth Prayer: A Rekindling. [Video/Action]

[faithfulflame]

[It’s been a while since Rei could even find the time to make a broadcast over the network, and given her encounter with Anakin Skywalker the last time she’d offered to do flame readings she’s not going to be offering that today. Instead, she’s got a question, and now that her leg has gotten back to normal, there’s also a bit of housekeeping to take care of before some very, very important plans happen. As well as some admissions and requests to take care of.

So, early in the day, she addresses the journal with a forced smile, because one the questions is a little embarrassing. Normally she’d probably have just talked to Yukiko and Yu, but the Inaba teenagers have both seemingly departed now…which directly relates to the other subject at hand, in fact. Ami being gone didn’t help, of course.]

Video:

Hello everyone, this is Rei Hino. I’m afraid to say that most of the people helping me tend to Tsukino Shrine have departed Luceti. If there’s anyone who has free time and would be willing to help me maintain it, I would really appreciate the help. Some of the work that needs to be done simply needs more hands to be done. I’d be willing to repay anyone willing to help with things I’m able to make. If you’re interested, please let me know either here at the shrine or through the journal.

And secondly, I was wondering if anyone had some insight on some exercises for getting back a leg into shape after an injury? My leg was hurt badly recently, and I’m still a little shaky at times, enough so that I’m not comfortable with normal physical activity beyond walking. I don’t want to strain myself, but I would like to get back to normal as quickly as possible.

Thank you in advance for any help or advice.

[And then she closes the journal out.]

Action:

[Later in the day, Rei heads out to visit two very specific people. Raine Sage and Fayt Leingod can expect visits. Raine by Sailor Mars, and Fayt by Rei herself.

After that business is taken care of, Rei hits the shops and starts to gather up some things. Clothing, boxes of food, board games, and pastries in addition to food stuff and a bottle of wine. All the things one needs for an evening alone with her special someone.

And by nightfall, Rei’s got Tsukino Shrine all prepared for her promised evening with Fenimore. Some food, a present, futons, and all the things they might need for the next two evenings. Hopefully it will be a peaceful, uninterrupted night!]

I'll do my best to try. Do you feel that Nala's effectively shown you all of her techniques? A lot of what I am able to do comes from my own innate abilities and my understanding of them, as well. So in a sense, for me... learning those abilities helped me fine tune what I already had, as well.

[ And then there was the possession twice over, which affected her more than she wanted to admit. ]

[faithfulflame]

I'm...about as sure of that as I can be. I think that I've learned everything I can learn on my own, anyway.

[Two years of using Nala had certainly not hurt.]

[wise_maiden]

I see...

And what is your interpretation of the magic? That seems to vary between the users. Does the ability seem more instinctual, or do you have to put more work to it?

[faithfulflame]

Well, actually working the spells is pretty instinctual. I have my own kind of magic at home, and it's not that different.

[wise_maiden]

Your specialty is with the element of fire, isn't it?

[faithfulflame]

Yes it is. Fairly obvious, I suppose.

[wise_maiden]

Just a little. I was curious about your current techniques to see how I could best advise you with mine.

[faithfulflame]

Well, that makes sense. Yes, I use fire. I've learned to use the other elements, but my natural talents are with fire.

[wise_maiden]

And when you learned techniques from the spirits, were you able to deepen your previously existing abilities?

[faithfulflame]

I was, yes.

[In a way, anyway.]

[wise_maiden]

If you're able to apply that thought process to your healing, instead of thinking of it as something entirely separate, then perhaps...

[But she wasn't certain. She honestly wasn't certain if this could really be taught, was the problem, or just what "Mars" natural abilities were like for her.]

[faithfulflame]

You mean blending one with another?

[She thinks about this. It sounds...plausible, given that she'd been interweaving spells for some time now, but she wants to make certain.]

[wise_maiden]

If it's possible at all, then yes. Although fire and healing are two different schools of thought entirely...

Still Mars, but the icon selection is so limited for not-angry faces

[faithfulflame]

Are they? What about heat therapy? In my world, some people use heat to promote healing...

[wise_maiden]

Hm... well, the energies can be combined here, so you do have a point. It would be in how you choose to apply the technique.

[faithfulflame]

Something...to think about at least. Thank you, Raine-san. Or...Raine-sensei.

[wise_maiden]

You're welcome -- whichever you prefer is fine. I'll think a little more on those ideas, myself.

[faithfulflame]

Thank you, I appreciate your help.

[wise_maiden]

Of course. Let me know how it goes.
