[Video] 003 ☽

[messianic]

[There is a bit of a pause after the video clicks on; Minato sighs quietly, before seeming to realize that it is recording. ...Even if Akihiko hadn't remembered him, he was still his senpai. It...hurts that he's gone. But a breath, and--]

Those who knew Akihiko Sanada, he seems to have returned home. That's...all.

[Pause. What would senpai want-- ah, of course.]

If anyone finds themselves in trouble thanks to the dinosaurs, please know that there are people who would be happy to help. And if anyone can help if the dinosaurs end up being more dangerous, perhaps we can collaborate and find a way to best protect everyone here. Feel free to contact me either way; my name is Minato Arisato.

[...]

Thank you all for your time.

[She shakes her head.]

No... I'm saddened to admit that I am only capable of using my staves for their intended purposes. I only have the ones that are used for healing with me.

[messianic]

But that would be rather dangerous, wouldn't it? You wouldn't have any means to defend yourself if the dinosaurs turned out more dangerous than they seem at the moment.

[allays.livejournal.com]

Ah, well... True as that may be... I have faced similar threats before. And I do not believe that the risk of myself getting hurt would be enough reason to cease trying to help others.

[messianic]

No, I think you're right.

If you wouldn't be opposed, however, maybe I could accompany you? I am capable of using a sword and some magic.

[...! She's... surprised, but also touched. And that part wins out.]

Oh... if you would be so kind, Minato? I would greatly appreciate it.

[messianic]

I would be happy to. Everyone has their own strengths; if we combine them, we'll be much better off.

[allays.livejournal.com]

That's a wonderful way of looking at it.

Though if I may inquire, Minato... why is it that you have such combat experience?

[messianic]

[Ah-- oh.

He's never had to answer that question before. He hesitates for a moment before the calmness is back.]

There was an issue back home; unfortunately, only my friends and myself were capable of solving. It required fighting at times, however.

[She does her best to restrain her surprise. After all, it wouldn't do to make him think that she doesn't deem him capable! So at first there's just a quiet]

Oh....

[So instead she does her best to muster up a small smile.]

That's very courageous of you, Minato. Though while I had not beared that burden with you in the past, please allow me to help you with the current problem at hand- and ones in the future, if you would be so kind as to let me.

[messianic]

[He dips his head in a nod, smiling slightly at that.]

Thank you. I'd be happy for the assistance.

[He's not stupid, after all, nor does he have any silly pride in his way--as far as he is concerned, more assistance is a good thing and will allow them to better help the people here.]

You mentioned that you're capable of using healing magic?

[allays.livejournal.com]

[A nod.]

I have been trained in the use of staves. The staves I have here with me are primarily healing ones. There is not much I can do... but I still would like to do what I can.
