Yeah, I guess. It can't hurt.

"I feel like that could have been worded differently."

Magic be magic.

So what? Right about...?

(She's landing a bit away. That way she can transform back without raising too much suspicion. Looks like he's walking the rest of the way.)

//best parody

Really? I thought that was Mount Rushmore in the distancs.

.

Hey... So no one is going to try to shoot me down or anything, right?

//with a crazy training regime and the heart of a fighterrr

This is not helping his "not a dog" case.

"So is it like canine instincts that help or?"

Much soft. She's enamored. Like a puppy.

//he's just a single dad who works two jobs-

If only. He just tries harder.

Do you see your village yet?

// Gai: to make sure you're prepared for any fight, I took the liberty of setting up a training regime for you!

Irma: yeah no.

Gai: oh

It's not that. He's... Well, I like him as a friend. But he's super embarrassing! And he just doesn't get that I don't like like him! He 𝘴𝘢𝘯𝘨 over the intercom. At school. It was horrible.

She's immediately petting his arm. Because this is normal. She's really more amazed than she should be.

"That's amazing! This is fur coats levels of soft!"

// :( Fingers crossed it's good news

I mean, it's not so bad. Remember the astral drop? That's when those come in handy!

Though I'm still mad that mine made me go on a date with 𝘔𝘢𝘳𝘵𝘪𝘯.

//realizing you can't knock sense into someone for pushing off responsibility onto literal children and knowing they're already used to always being in some kind of danger and the only thing you can really do is watch

//Irma, you can't just ask to touch people's fur??? What's wrong with you?

//hopefully it's just the bromelain in the pineapple and not a reaction 😟

//gai trains his students. He knows he's doing the best he can to prepare them. But this random ass child who's literally already survived wars from the age of 13 and can still smile and joke around? How can he not be worried?

//did you know that pineapples have an enzyme that breaks down protein? So if your tongue is tingling, there's a good chance the pineapple is trying to eat you back-

//is your tongue tingling?

Sure, if you think visiting a magic amulet can do anything. Or visit the magical version of heaven.

//Irma, literally controlling a whole tsunami easy:

Gai: YOUNG LADY WHAT DID I SAY ABOUT RISKING YOUR LIFE

"I'm old enough."

Her hands are pressed, fingers tapping. The urge is growing. A lot. And she's lost.

"Can I touch it? Your fur."

//irma: I now have a new mom and dad that I never asked for because they think i'm too young to risk my life for the entire magical dimension

Gai and Tsubaki: that's because you are!

I guess no one. The Heart of Kandrakar chose us.

I mean, the Oracle will tell us if there's stuff we need to worry about... But that's just how it is.

//"oh you think we have a mentor! Yeah, no. We were kind of given a piece of paper and told good luck"

"This seems very unsafe???"

Yeah, no. This would definitely be weird. She's dealt with enough magical species to not give in to her urges.

"Your fur is nice. Looks soft."

Nailed it.

That's funny! There was this one time my friends and I had to fight this evil prince who literally sucked the energy out of the everything. Even tried to absorb his sister.

I'm thirteen. Why?

//"we teach the next generation how to survive and live in this world 🙂‍↕️"
"What? Oh yeah, no. We get vague riddles from an oracle and have to mostly figure it out. So far we have the normal world and metaworld's fates on our shoulders and we have no real guidance or anyone we can rely on-"
"... what"
