"I said 'you can't teach an old dog new tricks', thanks for that vote of confidence too."

"Well, Lance was over a thousand years old and I taught how to forget about a person entirely."

2015-11-14 09:41:03

🌀

"...that isn't 'teaching'. But it reminds me. You....said you practiced on Clarenz."

2015-11-14 09:41:57

●

"Yeah...?"

2015-11-14 09:43:33

🌀

"...you should practice on me too. So you don't do something like that again without meaning to."

2015-11-14 09:44:10

●

"Well...the problem is we have no cure if that happens to you."

2015-11-14 09:47:23

🌀

".....it's fine. I'd probably be better off. There's not much I want to bother remembering."

2015-11-14 09:48:05

●

"...You're sure?"

2015-11-14 09:49:04

🌀

"Yes. I want to be useful somehow." As long as she doesn't touch my few happy memories, I don't much care what she does to me anymore.

●

"...Okay." She moved her hands to his shoulders. "Just relax, alright?"

2015-11-14 09:52:12

The ice on my arm had stopped spreading. She still hadn't noticed it. I nodded and rubbed my eyes one more time, brushing my hair out of my eyes. This is why I keep it combed, when it's not overly neat it's just a mess of thatch. Am I about to forget something? ....I'll probably never know.

●

She let out a breath, and closed her eyes. Then, she focused her energy forward and on one thing. Forgetting. It was something simple. Like if put on socks today or what his favorite color was.

🌀

I blinked as my mind went fuzzy for a split second. ...I don't feel any different, it was just as if I half dozed off before dragging my eyes back open. "Am I going to pass out soon?"

2015-11-14 09:59:20

●

"...No...I don't think so? Why? Are you feeling faint?"

2015-11-14 10:02:22

🌀

"More tired than that. But I was waiting for you to do...whatever it is. Clarenz fainted from it."

2015-11-14 10:03:12

●

"..." She immediately pulled away. "That only happened each time I did something drastic."

2015-11-14 10:05:50

🌀

"Oh. So...you're already done? What'd you do?" It must have been something tiny, then.

2015-11-14 10:06:27

●

"Something simple. Nothing that wouldn't take more than five minutes to realize again."

2015-11-14 10:09:20

🌀

"Hm...." I tried to think if there was something missing. Nothing came to mind. "I need a better hint than that."

2015-11-14 10:11:12

●

"Well, these things are never /exact./ To be honest, so I wouldn't know fully until you asked me."

2015-11-14 10:13:18

🌀

Great. So we'll have no clue if she did it right. I reached up to rub my temples and frowned at my lack of long sleeves. "When did I change clothes? I don't think I -- oohhh."

2015-11-14 10:19:24

●

She giggled. "There's our answer."

2015-11-14 10:24:01

🌀

"And you kept the damage to a minimum, congratulations. You said you convinced him he was straight, too?"

2015-11-14 10:25:16

●

"...Yeah, but that was a mistake."

2015-11-14 10:25:38

🌀

"But it means you changed something to make him think it. Maybe you should try that too."
