( You do not want him to cut you open with his fangs or claws,
But now that Ahito mentions the practicality of it... he does agree. )
... It would probably benefit every team to have someone who specializes in healing. With monsters lurking about and an apocalyptic moon in the sky, I doubt we'll be stuck doing sugar delivery tasks forever.
( He sighs, softly... not at anything Ahito's said or done, but, just... everything. )
[For the putting it back in him obviously, it's clear from just tonight that he's very effective at getting it out in the first place.]
I can't really specialize in it the same way the southern wizards do, but given my background, I might as well commit to it again.
[There's so much irony, he feels he could choke, throat filled up with that metallic tang that accompanied every coughing fit that brought him low after casting his magic in his own world.
...A world that's looking increasingly to be the odd one out, where all magic is accompanied by sacrifice, where magic users suffer far more than their counterparts with every spell cast, every price paid.
But he can't stand to think on it for long. So, he simply doesn't, answering with a short, soft:]
( Even someone like Mika can tell there's something weighing on Ahito - and while he can't be sure what, he can guess it has something to do with his past with magic, given what he knows of the experimentation and the cost for healing. Unfortunately... he's not much of a comforter - and he's run down himself, after his bloody banquet earlier. It's all he can do to avoid walking out into the woods again. )
... There are other healers. At least, right now. It doesn't have to be you.
And you're sure you're not overexerting yourself, Princess?
( He doesn't say that derisively, but to make it clear his concerns are rooted in the state of Ahito's apparent fragility. In his brusque Mika way. At least it's not a sword to Ahito's throat, like he's done back home to Yuu (with care,) )
( The bar is low, but at least he won't go lower if left alone. )
You can sleep. ( A beat. ) ... Visit again, if you want.
( A thanks for coming by, or at maybe just a general suggestion that he didn't loathe Ahito's presence here? Unclear, but... Ahito's aight, for a human. )

Nice try. But I already worked for today.
I will let someone else take it next time, though.
[He says, not realizing Solomon's about to unknowingly make an assassination attempt on both Akira and Kurapika in mere days.]

He reaches out,
and he scruffs him, lifting him his full arm's length off the ground, )
I could shake you a little bit, too. Be suitably distracting.
no subject
Hahh... that's some thanks for- helping.

I'm not afraid to help someone make the right decision if they're doing something to hurt themself.
( ""help"" )

It only costs my health in my world. The magic here doesn't harm me to use.
Trust me. I'd have noticed.

There's no part of me that resembles a princess. Do you need your eyes checked?
no subject
You're the one who mentioned he was fragile.

[Harsh wording, but inescapable in a country so recently removed from war.]
...I can run around fine, and my movements aren't too restricted. A hard hit's just more likely to drop me than it would on your average person.
[Which may explain why he always has a gun of all things on his hip as his weapon of choice.]
no subject
... If you're sure. Humans all feel fragile to me, so it's hard to tell.
( A little flick of the wrist and Ahito's neck could be broken. And the idea makes him recoil from himself. It's not natural. )
They already die easily. So dying easier than that is...

[Hmph.]
Still, I mean it. I'm not in a rush to donate, but if there's no other options, I'm not going to collapse from it.
no subject
... Fine. I'm... going to do my best not to hurt any of you, so you all better take care of yourselves in the interim.
( Else what is he even holding back for... )
no subject
[Though he's beginning to yawn.]
Are you going to be alright the rest of the night?
no subject
... I won't be worse off than I am now.

Maybe tomorrow night. [Mostly to make sure Mika doesn't pull another disappearing act so soon.] It's not like I've got to go far.
[He's literally two doors down.]
no subject
( He'd absolutely protest if he knew Ahito thought he was acting cute. He's an evil scary vampire :/ )
Just knock. I'm usually here.
( He says, nefariously (as a maleficent blood-sucking leech). )

[Nevermind that he's right.]
See you tomorrow~☆
no subject
... Yeah, sure. See you.
