|Poses=:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Thank you for letting me use your cane. I appreciated it. (probably more than I should have)


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: No problem! You're good with sticks. I'd let you keep it if I could, I don't use it often.


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: It's okay. I dont like keeping other people's magic stuff. It feels .. wrong?


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Whatever works or doesn't work for you, I'm glad you know your mind. But I wouldn't expect any less. :)


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: That makes one of us! How are you doing? Like actually how are you doing?


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I'm okay! Getting turned into a doll and a terribad in the same week really did a lot to clear my head.


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: That's a helluva week. I preferred being a doll, personally. Cope better with the mirrored coffin than I did?


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Yeah, for me it was just ridiculously embarrassing. The Tuxedo Terribad was using exaggerated-size attacks of basically what was in my pockets
:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: one of which was the ring i swiped out from under your and usagi's noses the day i met the two of you
:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: which completely spoiled the surprise, RIP
:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: but usa said that i could give it to her at a more dramatic moment if i wanted to, so we're engaged to be engaged


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: You two are ridiculously adorable.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I was mostly going 'MAAAAN...' in my head the whole time the thing was rampaging


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: That is WAAAY better than what I usually am going in my head.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Different people are disquieted by different things. I have trouble with open flame, now. I still have to work on that when Zoisite, Mars, and Daifuku all use fire.


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: You have very good reason to have issues with fire.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: And you have very good reason to take issue with being mirror-coffined!
:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: i mean *have* issues with


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Sunbreaker visited me. Well. Hinoiri did.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: Yeah? What'd she have to say?


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: She apologized. And wanted to know how to cope without powers.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: is it wrong of me to think she should have thought of that before she made it happen to a lot of people?


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: No. Not wrong at all.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: also, fucking rude to ask you, imo
:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: otoh i might just think everything she says is rude XD


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: Why is it rude to ask the one who is the most familiar at life without powers? I'm the subject matter expert, aren't I?


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: I guess I'm *still* cranky over the dark energy experiments. Like she's been obsessed with your powers, or lack thereof, since then
:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: which i suppose is rude of me, since you've long since let it go


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: I've barely seen Sunbreaker since then, tbh. But she knows full well that I have been a vocal advocate for those of us wihtout powers, few as we are, since before then.
:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: That incident? yes. I've largely let it go. She's not off the hook. She's done far worse to far more people than me.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: everyone including her is better off with her not being full of dark energy. if she's so desperate for power she can go talk to kyubey. (i'm unhappy with her. does it show)


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: I agree utterly. Our conversation didn't imply she was looking for power, but looking for how to cope without.


:(PHONE) Mamoru Chiba texts: that's a relief.


:(PHONE) Naru Osaka texts: It made talking to her easier.
