And I know you well enough by this point to appear even more clever.

[Maybe because he took more of an active interest in who she associated with and what she was up to rather than keeping everyone at arm's length away from him. She had spent the time to weasel her way in, so he kept an eye on her. Vira was rather open with him, so his options of people to fit the description were limited as far as he was concerned.

He figured that someday they would be able to open this place up completely. They had been patient enough and the layers were stripping back. He thought it would be just revenge for all the times that she had been killed that Vira rip them down to wherever Sodder was being kept.]

I think I know the cartoon you're talking about. Some of the boys around this place still watch them now and again. [And maybe he had been spying on them.]

The longer we wait, the more horrors we will face. We have been patient enough, but I imagine more information will be revealed as it always is.

[He slowly nodded his head, though wasn't so certain how his ability would lend anyone a good effect.]

I doubt I will be much use. That ability isn't one that is natural, and I can't say I exactly understand its power basis. You might get a better sense.

I will admit that even combined maneuvers with Winfield generally assumed that we were relying on a little bit of his wind magic, so there might be real limits. It's worth a shot, but you might be right on compatibility. Very few worlds have been compatible.

[And really he was probably right. Part of why the Senshi had worked was because they had compatible elemental attacks meant to be combined into 'ultimate' maneuvers with Sailor Moon. So, it was an extrapolation on something both of their worlds did. His world was very different.]

Right now, I believe that we have most of the pieces. We need the final ones to show us where the real opening is, to strike. It's timing, and rushing might have terrible resuults.

As long as it will not be detrimental to you, given that my powers require strong mental control from me. [He released them when he had to or sometimes when he was too injured to unfocused to hold himself together. It was dangerous, and he wasn't willing to put Vira in a position to be consumed by his being.

Still, it might be worth a few trials to see if they could make it work. After all, he and Vira had fought together on numerous occasions. He liked to think they knew one another's abilities well enough to respect them and understand that the risks might not be worth the rewards and vice versa.]

I agree. Controlled experiments would be the only way to see if we could make it work.

[onerthes]

Yes, we'll need to be very careful considering the almost vampiric nature of your powers in that sort of situation. So one step at a time, probably with the two of us at least a small distance from each other.

Not right now, but we can try it out in the summoning stones ring at some point. To see if it worked.

[Definitely worth a shot.]

Yes, we wouldn't want you or anyone in the vicinity to have the life sucked out of you. That usually isn't good way to maintain friendships. [And he knew for a fact that such an ability tended to panic people as their brains couldn't comprehend. The terror sometimes killed them all before he was finished draining the life from them. It wasn't a fate he wanted Vira to have.]

When there is opportunity and after discussing the plan of action before trying.

[onerthes]

That sounds like a plan. And this is definitely something we'll want to clearly study so that we have a precise idea what we're dealing with here. I might have an idea or two. But for now, we'll table it until it's safe and we can set a day.
