[Taning will find himself in your car, being relatively crazy enough to actually enjoy having left his stomach back in Falner when you gunned the engine.

Forces mage. Go figure.

Honestly? He's a little afraid of letting you in his head. Not that you might break it, of course. It'd just be because it would be a relatively new experience, and one he absolutely does not have a baseline for. And this is the kind of man that hates not knowing.

He'll just be smiling quietly on the drive. He doesn't have anything in particular to talk about, and he's wondering about what and how you'll teach him.]

[Well, first off, the two of you are pulling to a stop in front of the Heartnet-Duskrider house.]

C'mon. Need to get Rilea to fix me up.

[You'll understand soon enough, unless you've already figured it out all on your own.]

[bladeweaver]

[He was looking up at the household they were approaching when you said that, which made him double-take. Why would you need her-

Oh. Right.

He'll follow you up those steps, then.]

Is it a function of your condition, or is it just a millennium-and-change's worth of tolerance?

[icarusalsoflew]

A bit of both, actually.

[And, with that familiar quirk of his lips right before he's ringing the doorbell:]

It's not as convenient as people think it is, unless your sole measuring stick is its value on the battlefield.
