[ Maybe it's a bad idea. ...It's a bad idea, he knows it is, but he has to know. It's another late night patrol, not quite bedtime but getting there, with Natsuo pacing in front of the dorms, staring down at his feet and muttering to himself, down the hall, down the stairs, his feet bringing him in front of the ballroom. He frowns at the door for a second before reaching out and giving the handle a rattle: locked. ]

Did I not get this far? I must have...

A lot. [But...] What or who is Cuttlefish?

[randori]

Uh- Dave's sword. The Welsh one. Cuttlefish.

[ I can't spell what it's actually called off the top of my head, so. Cuttlefish. ]

[resumed]

What makes you think that sword is going to work any better than mine? Just because it's Welsh? [I hate Homestuck all over again.]

[randori]

Yeah. [ haha yeah ] And 'cause it's Dave's, so I'm going to channel his friendship and all of that, I'm sure that'll make it stronger.

[resumed]

...I suppose that's possible. [They're in a magical castle. At this rate, Nico assumes everything is true.] How far away is it?

[randori]

Um. Upstairs, in the dorms- I'm living in the white one with Ion.

[resumed]

[A frown.] You think you can handle stairs after that?

[randori]

I don't need both legs to go up the stairs. I can just pull myself up with the handrail.

[ Honestly this is how I've been imagining Steph doing it all these weeks ]

[resumed]

Are you always this stubborn? [Legit though.]

[randori]

It's the one thing I'm good at!

[resumed]

Get better skills, Natsuo. [A small grin.] Can't I just grab it for you so you can ice your leg? Then we'll try breaking in again.

[randori]

How about we don't try breaking my leg again.

[resumed]

I can agree with that. We already have enough problems here.
