003rd Oversoul ♨ Voice

[mikanphones]

Waaah, it's sure is hot today! It's on days like this that I want to do nothing but lay down on the garden and sleep all day! Summer sure is getting closer at a fast rate, or is it too soon to say that?

Anyway, hello, Luceti. Mind if I ask how many of you have been bonding and training with the Filial Spirits? I was wondering if any of you have ever been able to talk with them in a "normal" way. I mean, we talk to them but they can't really talk back to us the same way, or at least they aren't doing so to me. So I was wondering if it may be because I need more training or they just can't. Or maybe I'm just that bad with Filial Spirits.

[Yoh laughs sheepishly. The question is only half serious, he has been training with the Filial Spirits indeed, hoping that getting stronger bonds with them would help him to understand better Amidamaru's current state and communicate better with him. In a way it's working but it's still not what he wants, and he figured that it wouldn't hurt to fish for some information using the Filial Spirits as an excuse. At worst he will be left knowing nothing new and at best he may learn something that would help him with Amidamaru.]

Well, when you're used to hot summers, they're not that bad. For me, the winter in Luceti is brutal because Veldime's not so cold that we constantly have snow. That and I prefer the heat.

It's not that it's weird, for me at least. It's mostly because learning magic isn't really my style. Yeah, it exists, but I've got no interest in it.

[mikanphones]

Sounds like you would prefer a more tropical weather then. Though I'm not sure how hotter than here that would be.

I'm not trying to learn magic yet, I'm honestly more interested in them, the Filial Spirits. It's not everyday you get the chance to meet beings like them, you know?

[vulcanblazer]

Well, I definitely love beach weather... but Veldime's not really tropical. Warm side of temperate. Perfect crop growing weather.

I never really thought about it like that. Come to think of it, we don't really have elemental spirits like them in my world, either. I guess it hadn't really occurred to me to see what they were like aside from trying to contact them to receive their teachings.

[mikanphones]

You say that as if people at tropical places can't grow crops.

[He laughs a bit.]

Is that so? I guess I'm a weird guy wanting to know them for what they are rather than to get something from them. Maybe that's why Nala seemed surprised when we met.

[That and other things, like that he was actually trying to contact another spirit, his own spirit companion to be exact.]

[vulcanblazer]

You got me there, I guess. Plenty of unique crops in the tropics, though we just don't have any despite getting hot.

...And I wouldn't say it's weird, exactly. Different, but... maybe that's a good thing. If Nala was surprised to hear from someone who didn't want something, maybe the other spirits might be pleasantly surprised too? I dunno, I don't really know how the Filial Spirits think about things.

[mikanphones]

I don't know how they think either, but I would like to learn about it. The way to communicate with them is a bit weird and it takes a bit to get used to, I'm still not used to it though... But it's fun and interesting. It makes me think that you can get to know them more and deeper than if they could use words with a voice like we do.

[vulcanblazer]

Like getting to know them empathetically?

[mikanphones]

Yes, kinda like that. On one hand it's hard to make out what they want me to understand but once I get it, it feels as if I had a long and deep heart-to-heart talk with a good friend.
