[ Hello, Urianger. A certain someone is here to see you!
Knockity knock knock. ]
Knockity knock knock. ]
[It takes a moment, but Urianger eventually appears at the door. Behind him, Yamato can see that his room already looks well lived in, with books and papers scattered about on tables and shelves. It's very fantasy medieval vibes in there.
Though he's wearing a curious expression when he opens the door, it levels into something gentler when he sees who his visitor is.]
Ah, Yamato. 'Tis good to see thee. [Considering the harrowing event from the other day...] Art thou in need of something from me?

[ How did Akira do this again...oh, right. Hi, Urianger. Have a little dab in greeting. (for the meme....ilu)
After that's over, though, he'll smile at Urianger like he didn't just do something incredibly weird. ]
Yeah. Remember when I said I'd ask you for magic help? Well, I think I've got the most basic parts down. I'm ready for training.

[Yamato what the hell was that.
...
Dabs...back...? IS THIS A GREETING WHERE YAMATO'S FROM? Anyway, Urianger looks pleasantly surprised.]
Ah. Thou hast auspicious timing, in that case. My schedule is entirely open for training.
Shall we make our way to the training grounds?

[ IT IS NOW. GET WITH THE TIMES, OLD MAN. ]
Sure thing. Let's go.
[ He says this like nothing happened..... ]
I was hoping you could show me some defensive magic.

[Listen he's a ye olde bear with him...
But yes, once he grabs his star globe and deck of cards, he makes his way for the training grounds with Yamato.]
Ah, thou art interested in defense? [A pleased nod.] Very good. Strong magical defenses are invaluable in the thick of battle. I happen to employ magicked barriers for such occasions. What sayest thou to learning this technique?

It seems like something that I'll get a lot of mileage from, so I'm open to it. Just...don't be too disappointed if I don't get it right away, okay?
[ Urianger is a patient guy, he thinks, so hopefully that won't be a problem. He seems like a kinder teacher than Kurapika is, too! ]

Worry not. I do not expect perfection from one who hath only just begun to learn.
[He's definitely a patient guy.
He takes a moment to get his star globe floating in front of him.]
I shall begin by providing thee with a demonstration. Prithee, send an attack my way.

Alright.
[ He's grateful for the understanding, and he closes his eyes and readies himself for something offensive. His specialty is curses, but he's not quite there with those yet, so he ends up sending a little ball of darkness Urainger's way. ]

[Seeing the dark orb come to life makes Urianger crack another smile. Small though it may be, it's progress from where Yamato started all the same.
As it makes its way toward him, he raises his star globe high and announces:]
Divinatio.
[A small barrier flickers into existence, just big enough to absorb the attack and shield Urianger from harm.]
As thou canst see, this barrier is quite small and only blocketh incoming damage from one direction. But it can be expanded over time and with enough training.
[Not even Urianger is capable of it yet, so they can work on it together!]

Oh...
[ Wait, that's actually so cool, though? And it seems helpful. It might be small, but it's a good start. ]
How did you do that? It seemed pretty effective, even if it only absorbed one hit.

Barriers are a part of my repertoire in my home world. In my instance, I drew upon my experience to craft a similar spell with this world's magick. This experience I would be happy to impart unto thee.
[Which he will do!! Only he's going to do it in brackets because imagine me knowing how to explain magic. It just works.
Basically, he'll have Yamato try to imagine his magical energy hardening into a shield, but with more flexibility for positioning.]

I see, so...
[ He'll follow Urianger's thorough instructions, and hold his palm out: ]
Good night.
[ Lo and behold, there it is! A little shield. It's a small one, but hey, it's a start! ]
Like that?

Like that?
Oh, yeah. Let's do that.
[ He'll try to maintain the shield in the meantime! Here's hoping it doesn't crumble too quickly. ]
[ He'll try to maintain the shield in the meantime! Here's hoping it doesn't crumble too quickly. ]
[ He nods, and the orb...
Well. It hits the shield, and the shield crumbles upon impact (8), but it does absorb most of the blow. Yamato is still thrown back from the impact, though. ]
That probably could've gone better.

[Ope, there he goes... But Urianger doesn't seem as concerned as he could be over this. He's come to know these barriers well, so he can tell that Yamato hasn't taken a large amount of damage.
Still, he steps over to lend Yamato hand and get him back up on his feet.]
Perhaps. But 'twas a valiant first attempt. Thy barrier held up well for a first construct.

Did it really?
[ He'll take Urianger's hand and hoist himself back up. Look at him! ]
Heh, that's better than nothing, then. It's a good start...if you wanted to try it again.

[ Knock, knock, knock, there's a very timid knocking at Urianger's door one evening. ]
[Oh...? Urianger wasn't expecting any visitors, but it's not an unwelcome turn of events.
It take a bit of peering down to see who his visitor is once he opens up his door, but he's quick to smile when he finds Bruno standing there.]
Good evening, Bruno. To what do I owe the pleasure?

Good evening, Bruno. To what do I owe the pleasure?
Precisely.
[Even if it didn't hold through the entire onslaught, it still mitigated it. Soon enough Yamato will be making fully solid barriers, so long as he keeps it up!
That said...]
If thou art certain thou art well enough to continue, then I shall gladly send more magick thy way.
[Yamato doesn't really seem tired out yet, so Urianger isn't concerned about continuing.]

[ Wow, don't strain that giraffe neck looking down at him, Urianger. ]
Uh, hey. I was... just. [ He's already fidgeting with the edges of his ruana nervously but, frankly? That's normal. As he looks waaaay up at the elezen. ] Just, y'know, wondering if you. Would. Want to tag along when I, um, try... seeing if I can see how this all is going to shake out?
[ Of course, in case that's all confusing, he's quick to add, ]
I mean, looking in the future. I. Still don't know if it'll work here but I have some concerns, sooo, it's worth a shot?

[Maybe Bruno should stop being so short!! But in actuality, he's really not bothered to do so. Elezens get used to it.
He listens patiently and attentively as Bruno works through what he wants to say, though he lifts his head with interest about halfway through when he realizes what Bruno's asking.]
Thou wouldst attempt a divination. [He's quick to follow with a nod.] Aye, I would accompany thee, and lend what aid I can.
[His own efforts have not yet born fruit, but he expected that. This world's stars are so different from his own. It's going to take some time to adjust. But Bruno's method might generalized enough to work anywhere.
Here's hoping.]

...attempt a divination... [ Bruno echoes the words quietly and looks thoughtful. ] Huh. I wonder if people would hate my visions less if I explained them that fancily.
[ Probably not! ]
Uh, but, great! Good. That's. Yeah, good. I figure someone who's studied this stuff might help a lot if. If it works, anyway, or if it ends up being weird or something.
