[Kainé probably had a little bit of an edge having been tied to a similar magic for so long. Nevertheless, when she saw the quick rebound of the other woman's actions she was impressed as well.]
Not so bad yourself.
[She grinned again when suddenly a flash of something came to mind. Something that the red projectiles had reminded her of; triggered a memory she couldn't quite pin down. She abruptly dropped one of her weapons and put a hand to her head.]
Fuck...
[She grit her teeth and tried to shake it off.
It was as if that tiny sliver of a memory manifested something similar to what she was familiar with... and happened to be her familiar all the same.]
I know I'm late, but that doesn't give you an excuse to throw your magic around like a common savage! Dark magic takes patience and discipline to learn to use effectively. Especially for use in battle!
[Kainé visibly froze, not from fear, but from a sudden, ingrained, overwhelming annoyance. She turns to see the owner of the voice and almost chokes at the sight.
...a book
A thick black book with Japanese writing adorning the cover had appeared behind her and spoke in a scolding tone.
She looks over her shoulder at her opponent and then back to the tome.]
Are you seeing this?
[Then to the book]
Who the hell are you?
You may call me Kai-hakase. I am a tsukumogami, your familiar. I am going to teach you the art of magic of the dark and death varieties.
Piss off, book. I do things my way.
[Kainé turns back to her sparring partner, and makes an attempt to ignore the book. Reko can see and hear and see the whole of the exchange.]
Got Mod approval for this. I am so excited!
Not so bad yourself.
