[Anyone who happens to walk by on the road beside House 28 this evening will be treated to a rather unusual sight: a cloud of fireflies hovering around the front lawn, greenish-yellow lights flickering as they fly back and forth, following the movement of a tiny orb of light.

Closer inspection reveals the source of said orb of light as Richard, who is seated in the grass-- he's using a tiny bit of Hyt's power to combine with his own magic (the base for a Holy Lance, not that he's going to cast the entire thing), creating a soft white glowing sphere that hovers a couple of inches above his finger. As he moves his hand to trace mindless patterns in the night air, the orb follows it, and the fireflies follow that in a parade of blinking lights. Richard can't quite hide his amusement at this, reflected in the slight smile on his face. It may be an odd way to spend one's birthday, but to Richard, it's more than fine-- not that he doesn't appreciate what Asbel and the others have done for him. He just needs a little time to himself to unwind after all of that.

But if anyone wanders by, he'll be happy to converse with them. He wouldn't be in a public place if he didn't feel like talking to anyone, after all.]

I'm... kind of sensitive to blood.

[To put it mildly.]

[ledbythewind]

... I see. Then you'd do well to keep your distance from me.

[He shrugs, idly kicking his feet as they dangle off the edge of the roof.]

I'll keep that in mind.

But even so, you could always try learning how to do something like mend broken bones. That wouldn't involve blood, and I'm sure a skill like that would be of great use to the other doctors here.

[entaiho]

Yeah, I guess. It couldn't hurt to try, at least, and you never know when skills might be useful.

Exactly. That was why I started learning from the spirits in the first place.
