"Even when she's out of aether, that well-spring inside her will produce more before long." She's speaking from experience, of course. Tiffanie's seen Ivy completely exhaust herself, but still managed to churn out more aether to keep going. That lighting wasn't ever going to do much else but stun & daze her. "And you'd be surprised how far her anger takes her, it's like her battle-lust, it lets her shake off & ignore some outrageous wounds."
She smiles, taking the cookie Aki hands to her. "I know, sometimes she's hard to keep up with, but I also couldn't ask for someone better to adventure with. She'll always have our backs."
"I don't doubt that in the slightest, even if she does keep me on my toes with the amount of shields she needs." He couldn't help but laugh. It wasn't funny at the time, but thinking about how he kept chasing after her and applying shields almost as quickly as she broke them must have been quite the sight to hold.
"Is that tea almost done, or is it one of those blends that has to steep for like 20 minutes?"
"I bought them during the Rite of Succession." Sadly, during the rite, Aki wasn't permitted to join her, as it was meant to only be undertook by the Promises & their chosen assistances. Tiffanie hadn't needed to go into the tin & caddy until now, so she is taking that as a good sign that she & Aki both have improved greatly at their skills.
"We were allowed to partake of the mate leaves we picked. The peddlers there often say that the leaves have magical restorative properties that activate when boiled, & it certainly tasted like it. So I figured buying some would be a good idea for the future. I mean, not all of us are like Ivy & have almost endless aether & energy."
He couldn't help but snort a little at that. "Too true. If it hadn't been as much as it had been, she probably could have used the lightning she was struck with to go even more... maybe that's how she was able to go so long, aside from pure anger anyway." Taking another cookie he held it out for Tiffanie to take and another for himself.
"When I think about it, it's no wonder I'm so tired."
"Heh~ Well, I won't make you eat anything spicy when you're this exhausted." She gently kisses the man's forehead as he lays down. "I happen to have something prefect for fatigue that we picked up in Urqopacha." Thus, she stood up & made her way to the little kitchen space provided in the cabin, digging out two different containers, a tea caddy & a tin box; both carrying a lovely fragment smell. She went about putting some the tea leaves in that caddy into a pot, filling it with water & leaving it to boil on the stove.
"Here, have these while the mate boils." As for the tin box, that she brought to Aki, the insides were filled with delightfully adorable shaped mate cookies.
"Cookies? They smell good." Pushing himself up so that he didn't choke on them as he took one from the tin, taking in it's form before taking a bite. "Tastes good too. Thank you Tiffanie." Sliding his legs over the side of the bed to keep slowly eating while the tea boiled.
"Did you grab these one of the times I wasn't with you or was I just that oblivious while taking in the rest of the surroundings?"
"Other than the obvious no fish or chocolate I am too tired to care. Whatever is fastest at this point, I'd even take some of those spicy tacos that you come to like so much." Pulling off his visor he set in onto the side table and fell back onto the bed rubbing his temples.
"That's not true!" Aladin nearly roared though he caught himself just in time. He was quick to close the distance between them when he grabbed his father's arm. "Because if so, then I'm also a painful reminder of how deeply intertwined he and my mother are." A few tears pricked at his eyes but he didn't dare let them fall. Instead he went to hold his father's hand and spoke again. "But I'm not, and Dad would never see you as that, Papa Aki. And you can always live within his stronghold. With us."
"Kits are different than mates, I'm sure they would both be happier to never see me again. I worry most for Isobel, since they are the only one of mine to have no connection to Yun." It was obvious from the way that he spoke that he wasn't fully present in the moment.
"Perhaps I should stay with them instead, be used as a punching bag because I'm not him."
He didn't even jump when Aladin spoke to him, he was that out it. Eyes dead and hollow as he looked over before slowly shaking his head. "No. I'm not okay. I don't know where to go now. I don't belong in hell and no one on earth wants me alive. I am just a painful reminder of how intertwined their life was."
