A-Are you sure? But I don't know how long you'll stay warm like that, even with that Sacred Art...

[sleeplessknight]

Ugh... And here I thought it would be pointless to bring my other ability instead...

[bluerosestyle]

I can try to teach you how to do that yourself, but I'm not sure it'll work.

[sleeplessknight]

Let's try it!

[bluerosestyle]

[he nods, then brings his hand close to yuuki's shoulder again]

Okay. You put your hand over your clothes, and say the words System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[the moment he says that last word, the small ball of red light that had formed while he was chanting disappear inside her clothes, spreading warmth]

This consumes spatial resources, so I just created one thermal element to demonstrate.

[sleeplessknight]

[paying close attention to the words]

That's... English?

[bluerosestyle]

English?

[sleeplessknight]

"System call"... something something?

[bluerosestyle]

Ah, that's the Sacred Tongue. It's the language used for Sacred Arts.

[sleeplessknight]

[orz why]

... I can probably remember it.

Can you say it again without using um... resources?

[bluerosestyle]

[chst. nods!]

It's System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[sleeplessknight]

[repeats after him, her pronunciation is a bit awkward, but:]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[bluerosestyle]

That's right. Make sure to picture the result as vividly as you can in your mind as you say it.

[sleeplessknight]

[nods as she keeps mumbling to herself, trying to memorize it]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge. System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge...

[bluerosestyle]

[eating, sort of pretending not to notice]

[sleeplessknight]

Is it safe for me to try...?

[bluerosestyle]

Yeah. The worst that can happen is that flowers or treasure will disappear even if it doesn't work.

[sleeplessknight]

I-Is that really okay...?

[bluerosestyle]

Mm, flowers can grow again. Roses are especially good for this, but I doubt you'll find any...

[sleeplessknight]

Good for making things warm?

[bluerosestyle]

Good for Sacred Arts.

[sleeplessknight]

Oh!

Right. Okay, here goes...

[she closes her eyes, holding her hand up, with her palm facing Eugeo's arm and...]

System Call. Generate Thermal Element. Adhere to Clothes. Discharge.

[she's picturing the same kind of orb Eugeo created earlier, but at the same time she's also thinking of how it feels when she's used her newly acquired thermal control ability to keep herself/other objects warm before, trying to imagine it as vividly as possible in her mind]

[bluerosestyle]

[It seems to work at first-- but then the orb flickers out of existence.]

That wasn't bad for a first try, it took me about a month to get that far. Maybe if you try again...?

All around her, flowers disappear.

[sleeplessknight]

[noticing that and. visibly panicking a little]

M-M-Maybe not here!

[bluerosestyle]

Oh... Sure, you can try it on your own later.
