Name&#x27;s Teft, now storm off

...Lopen? You're here too?

@kaladin-wrangler

Teft!

*he lashes himself directly to Teft, accelerating into a hug*

Life before death before life, how are you back you penhito!?

*hugs back*

I...don't know. I'm just here.

*starting to cry* It's so good to see you again.

Don't you ever die on me again, got it? I missed you.

And none of this crying, you've got me around. The Lopen is supposed to make you so annoyed you're steaming from the ears, not leaking from the eyes.

*The Lopen's eyes are very much leaking*

I'll try. I don't want to die again.

Right... *crying harder instead of stopping like he meant to do*

Oy! Hregos. That's not stopping. What am I supposed to do to annoy you when you're all blubbery? That's it. I'm getting you pancakes.

Pancakes...sure. But don't pretend you aren't crying too.

*wiping away tears and sniffling*

I'm only crying because you're not getting annoyed enough. I'm clearly losing my touch and getting old, Gon. I'm not as annoying. This will mess up my application for the next king's Wit once Wit dies of old age.

*between sobs* No, you're still annoying, just not right now. Don't worry. You're still the same as ever.

The same as ever? Look!

*he waves his arm in front of Teft*

I've clearly grown! Had character development. I'm a changed man! I have two arms now.

Doesn't mean you can't tell jokes anymore.

But anyway. Pancakes, you said?

*nods* Pancakes.

*Smiles, the tears finally slowing down ever so slightly*

Where you thinking?

The storming tower Gon, where else. We'll march right into the kitchens and make them ourselves. Or maybe we'll fly to Azir, eh? What you think?

Flying...

*back to crying he goes*

Phendorana didn't come back with me.

*Lopen sobers for a moment, grabbing Teft in a tight hug*

That storming sucks.

*pulls away*

I'll fly you, eh?

*nods, trying to pull himself back together*

Alright.

...Lopen? You're here too?

#My excuse is that he's not experienced enough with his Mistborn abilities to fly with them yet

*sits down next to him* So. Rusting Kholins, huh? @and-wayne

*he looks at Wayne* ...Yes. I know the Kholins.

I mean, you're gonna want to learn how to control your Pushes and Pulls anyway. You should be able to just Pull somethin' a little bit, without takin' your head off.

Or you Push against it quick enough to make it fly back away.

*Nodding* Sounds like that would be useful.

*he swallows some of the iron, then some of the steel just in case, then turns back to the coin*

...Here goes nothing.

*he Pulls lightly on the coin. Teft jumps for a moment as it comes at him, but after a moment stops burning iron and switches to steel, Pushing the coin away before it can hit him. He's left a bit shaken, but starting to get how this works*

*he claps* Good job! It's like a yo-yo, yeah? You're in control where it goes.

Wax'll probably be happy to teach you how to do the harder stuff, later. He can make his bullets quicker 'n such. And the steel bubble, that's real useful, but I ain't heard of another Coinshot what can do that. Makes it so regular bullets can't hit him ever.

#...back to Phendorana we go

It feels...weird, not having to touch things in order to control them. And not...having...

*sits down next to him* So. Rusting Kholins, huh? @and-wayne

*he looks at Wayne* ...Yes. I know the Kholins.

Looks like it! I wonder how much Wax even uses Lashings, he's so used to the Coinshot thing. *he pulls out another pouch and holds it out* So, iron. Does the opposite to steel. It can kinda help you fly, too, but you just launch yourself towards things instead.

*takes the pouch* Sounds like this one might be closer to what I'm used to.

So...I'm assuming I'm not going to want to use the coin again for this one. I don't want it flying at me.

Sorry. *successfully reigns in the urge to laugh* You gotta think of the physics 'n such. You can only Push things what are lighter than you. If it's heavier, you're the one what gets Pushed instead. Makes sense, yeah? When the coin's pressed against the earth, you're tryin' to Push the planet, basically.

*nods* Makes sense, but...it'll take a lot of getting used to. Lashings are a lot different in that sense.

... rusts. I didn't think you'd go with that direction! *he's halfway between laughing and being concerned*

So, uh, that's kinda how Coinshot flight works...

*he walks back over to Wayne, rubbing his back* Storms...I was not prepared for that. Well, this is the flying I heard about, then. Huh.

*he looks at Wayne* ...Yes. I know the Kholins.

I was only Mistborn for a grand total of... uh, ten minutes maybe. But I pay attention to stuff.

*he hands him the pouch with steel next, then holds out an open palm with a coin on it* Try pushin' on this. Preferably not straight at me.

Still. You've used them more than I have.

...Pushing? Hmm. Alright... *he tries burning some steel, and is mesmerized by the blue lines surrounding him* ...Huh.

*he focuses on the line pointing to the coin is his hand. Soon the coin is flung out of his hand and onto the ground, sending him flying backward*

*shrugs* Investiture 's Investiture. Some of it just thinks it's fancier.

Wanna do somethin' flashier next?

*shrugs* Whatever you think is best. You're the expert, not me.

Yeah, metals burn different. You'll figure it out. Can also flare 'em to make 'em stronger, but that'll use 'em up real quick.

*Nods* So...like the Lashings, then. This isn't really that different so far.

...It seems to be lasting longer than pewter did, even though I ate about the same amount. Huh.
