[suddenly, a voice!]

Hello! I hope everyone's doing all right now that we're back here on the island.

Um. Sorry if this is a weird question, but ... if you're an experienced fighter, what sort of training do you do that helps you out the most? The sort of thing that maybe a beginner could pick up on easily?

[beginner isn't really the right word for Madoka. but with her usual abilities out of reach, floating along with wherever the high frequency is, and with only a bow that's older than she is to use as a weapon, she's not that many steps ahead of one. does that make her a novice? first class? junior hero?]

It couldn't hurt to have that information out there, anyway. For the people who didn't do any fighting back home.

— Oh! If we haven't met before, I'm Madoka Kaname. If you ever need healing or first aid, please come see me, okay? I'm usually at the beach or the base camp.

[she can't help but breathe a little laugh.]

... Thank you, Jay-san. It seems like every time we talk, you've found a way to really help me out.

I hope I'm able to do the same for you someday.

[rebells]

[Madoka, he can't with you. You are Too Much.]

It's not a problem. For the moment, we're working together, so helping one another only makes sense.

[soulcomet]

[Jay makes it sound like a time will come when they won't be working together, and that isn't really a thought she's willing to entertain.]

Well ... you'd tell me if there was something I could do to help you, right?

[rebells]

[Better be on the right side of coven politics then, Madoka!!!! No, um.]

I would. Don't worry about that.

[soulcomet]

[coven politics might require her to pick a side between friends, which she is notoriously bad at! can't she just stand in the middle and yell until they solve their differences?]

I'm glad ... Um. When would be a good time for you to meet up?

[rebells]

I'm pretty free at the moment.

[This is said in a dry tone of voice.]

Do you prefer mornings or evenings?

[soulcomet]

Mornings, if that's all right with you! It might be easier that way — I don't want to take up too much of your time.

[rebells]

As I said, there's not much threat of that.

Tomorrow morning, then. Meet me on the beach--about an hour after sunrise, shall we say? In the absence of a clock.

[soulcomet]

Sounds perfect. I'll be there.
