[Liet is walking by the lake, lost in thought. Unfortunately, this leads to him--already walking far too near the water--tripping on a rock and tumbling forward. He hopes he can swim, when--

He finds himself floating in the lake, a forcefield keeping the water away and him afloat.]

W-what--?

[vytis]

Y-you have force fields, too? [Is this sort of thing normal?]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Yeah, I do, or, well... I guess it's easier to say I do. It's kinda complicated.

[vytis]

Complicated? [Briefly, he wonders if he's being a bit nosy, but he's curious and he's said it already anyway. He manages to shift himself over to land by pushing his force fields around.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well, it's magic. Sort of. But it involves science too.

[vytis]

[He tilts his head.] It being science seems like it would make more sense, somehow. Magic doesn't sit right with me. [...Though he's just floated around a lake in a force field.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well... magic isn't quite right, I guess. I mean... magic is science, or, um... if magic works, science is magic? Um... I'm not quite sure how to put it...

[vytis]

[This... Doesn't make much sense to Liet.] M-maybe a demonstration...?

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well, okay.

[GAPE.] W-wow...

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

So, yeah, it's magic, but it's scientific.

[vytis]

[Even with no memories, he's pretty sure he's never seen anything like that.] That's--amazing.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Where I come from, a lot of soldiers can do it.

[vytis]

R-Really? Fights must be amazing there.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

I've remembered a few of them. They're pretty intense. Lots of lasers.

[vytis]

Lasers? [Woooow, Liet's really interested.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Yep. My specialties are close in fighting to keep attackers busy so they can't attack our ranged fighters, though.

[vytis]

Ahh, that sounds like fun. ...Er--I mean. I guess it must be dangerous and-- Um.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well, yeah, it's fighting.

[vytis]

Y-yes, I'm sorry, I don't know why I was acting like that. [He flusters a bit, apologetically.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

Well... it's kind of thrilling I guess, but I don't like fighting.

You don't have to apologize.

[vytis]

I don't know if I've ever done any fighting before. I suppose it's one of those things that only seems fun if you're not involved.

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

It's not fun to fight.

[vytis]

I suppose you're right. I'm sorry. [He dips into a little bow.]

[airgeargaigar.livejournal.com]

It's okay. [She returns the bow]
