[he grins as he visualizes this situation in his head, thinking of just how adamant Yuffie must have been, considering how full of will he's seen her be.

and then aerith asks, and his grin gets a little bigger,]

I think you're the type who likes protecting others. You're fine with having someone watch your back -- [SO NOT LIKE. STUNTED LIKE A TSUNDErE] as long as they know that you're gonna watch theirs too.

[this is not a wrong assessment is the thing and she seems a little happy that lavi thinks this about her. but at the same time it's a little wrong for a different reason.]

Yup. That's what our whole group does. We look out for each other in a fight, and I do everything I can to protect them. My magic's meant to help them fight and keep them safe. [but?] But I did hire Cloud as my bodyguard when we first met.

[lavi like wait MAGIC????]

What kind of situation were you in when you met him?

[residentflorist]

[yeah! magic! just normal things!]

Let's just say we had someone to take care of when they came to the church. But Cloud scared him off pretty fast! [sometimes...you watch your "bodyguard" beat up an annoying clown of a man until he runs away.]

[bookpapers]

Sounds like a story...

[which makes him wanna knooooow.... but also]

What kinda magic do you know?

[he wants to know that too....]

[residentflorist]

[it is a story! but it is a story for a later time :)

magic though. she doesn't mind answering that question and instead tilts her head.]

Have either of them told you about materia yet?

[bookpapers]

[thinking of how you guys were talking about materia in chat. he shakes his head]

Is that the term for it?

[residentflorist]

[yeah she's been telling people on her own SIPP. anyway!]

Sort of! It's more like a crystallized form of the energy force that's used for spells. Materia's made from mako, and mako's from the planet. It's...really powerful. Some materia's made in labs, but there's a lot that's also naturally formed. We use them for spells for things like fire or ice or other elements. [she thinks about what else needs to be covered here.]

A lot of the materia I keep in my staff is for healing, too. It helps so I can keep everyone safe with barriers or give them a second wind if they get hurt.

[bookpapers]

[oh, at that he looks intrigued,]

...Healing, huh? We've got magic in our world too, but nothing that can do that.

[the way the innocence can do so much except heal. lavi has no idea that there are people out here who can heal while using their life force,]

We've gotta fix all our wounds with medicine and bed rest.

[residentflorist]

[the fuck do you mean innocence can't heal.]

That's right. [she is but a squishy mage.] It's our materia, but we have other things that help, too. Potions and stuff. But even our magic can be depleted if the materia runs out of energy, and there're still some things we treat by hand with medicine, bandages and rest. It helps a lot, but it isn't needed to solve everything.
