( Who's the medic around here, I think I for serious picked up some fuckin' alien STD from getting dunked into that thing's throat. Like, this ugly fucker in my chest has been sealed for years but it's dripping green. What the fuck what the fuck what the fuck. )

( I dunno, what's his face says I'm not sick, so he didn't know what to do with it. I'm heading over to see the crabby one now to see what he says. Maybe I'm possessed instead. )

[ She's joking............. ]

( How are we supposed to get your magic back? Is that a thing? )

[somnifacient]

(Possession is only barely better than some slime disease.)

[He's only half-joking.]

(Only parts of it are completely gone. You've seen the abilities that have stuck around.) [Summoning weapons. There's more, he just hasn't had reason to use them yet.] (I think it's because we're so far away from my world. And if that's the case, I don't think it's going to be possible for me to be at... full strength again.

I'll need to retrain. Test my limits. I want to know how much weaker I am.)

[sistershoggoth]

( Can do. Imma run you like a dog. )

[ :) ]

[somnifacient]

[That's. Something.]

(Uh huh.) [Stubbornness!] (No thanks. I'll spar with you, but you don't have to schedule my training regimen. I've been doing this for awhile now.)

[How he fools himself. As if he'll be left alone, what with Annie, Nyx, and Gladio being here.]

[sistershoggoth]

( Just try and stop me, it'll be fun. )

[ His pathetic attempts to dodge her, she means. ]

[somnifacient]

(Just try and catch me. You won't be able to.)

[If there's one thing he's good at doing, it's dodging. And by dodging, he means phasing through things.]

[sistershoggoth]

( Game on. But if you cheat too much I'm gonna get Nyx to help me. )

[somnifacient]

[Amusement flickers on his side.]

(I don't doubt that he'd be as stubborn as you.) [He's a Glaive, after all.] (But he'll still have trouble keeping up if I decide to keep my magic to myself.)

[DO YOU HEAR THIS, NYX?]

[sistershoggoth]

( Fuck your magic. )

[ Overconfident to the max. ]

[somnifacient]

[A spike of patronization, but as... good-humored as it can be. Now they're just exchanging childish jabs back and forth.]

(You're just jealous.)

[sistershoggoth]

( Of course I am. I used to have one of the better pathos around, and now I'm just a useless oozing bitch. And not literally useless, ugh, seriously don't try to boost my self-esteem, I'll puke. )

[somnifacient]

(You can still fight. Oozing or not, that's still worth something.)

[Totally ignoring the request to not boost her self-esteem.]

[sistershoggoth]

( Oi, what'd I just say? Cheeky asshole. )

[ Ugh don't make her feel all warm and squishy inside she hates it. ]

[somnifacient]

[Warm and squishy, he considers that a success on his part.]

(I'm not being cheeky, I'm being sincere. What, is it embarrassing?)

[sistershoggoth]

( Definitely, we're like. In public. )

[ Lasciviously trying to get into Nyx's pants in public: fine. Having genuine emotions for the King of Insomnia? No good. ]

[somnifacient]

(So? Since when do you care if other people are listening?)

[I mean, c'mon, he hears that conversation with Nyx up there.]

[sistershoggoth]

( It's called street cred, Noctis. )

[somnifacient]

(Why does street cred matter when we're all brain-linked? Just takes a peek into your head to know what you're really feeling.)

[sistershoggoth]

( Doesn't mean you have to call me out on it, shit! Like I need every dickhead here to know I'm stupid for you. )

[ Not that she did a good job of hiding it. Or hiding her protectiveness for Lucina and Beth, her attraction to Nyx, her aggressive friendship with Murphy. Noctis is right, that she can't hide it, but she sure is used to being able to. ]

[somnifacient]

(Hey, you said it, not me.)

[Which is basically the flimsiest response ever, a thinly-veiled attempt at hiding the fact that he's just teasing her.]

[sistershoggoth]

[ She's somewhere in the station RN flipping off the ceiling. ]

[somnifacient]

[This is Noct as he disengages from this conversation.]

[servitor]

( We still have training, on top of basic training, target practice, weapons practice, morning drills... )

[Have you seen those abs Noctis they didn't appear by the grace of the Six. Nyx damn well didn't pray to Bahamut for his six pack.]

[somnifacient]

(I specifically said "keeping up". I meant it literally.)

[As in, you can't catch him if he tries to warp away from Annie and Nyx trying to instill some terrible hell regimen on him everyday.]

(Definitely not going to say you wouldn't put up a good fight.

Actually, about my magic-- that's something I need to talk to you about.)

[servitor]

( I figured that was bound to come up. Just say the word and I'll be there. )
