...and where every other human has some power to their name. I think it's a waste, giving abilities like that to people too constrained by their own minds to use them properly. But it's good camouflage.
[That reaction would be why he does it, although it's kind of difficult to keep up with Nemu in person because...she makes him think of what would happen if someone crossed a contractor with a doll, and that's unsettling]
Certainly.

Although I ask that you don't broadcast its manner of death.
[Still suffering from the slight weariness that always comes over her and her fellow Knights after using a rather powerful spell, Umi surveys November's work with nothing short of horror-filled awe.
Now... there's one way to use ice magic.
As horrific as it is, and as much as she's certain she'd be passing dinner tonight (truly, look at that huge frozen bug), the Knight of Water almost wishes to backtrack on that jesting remark she made and ask Jack to seriously teach her how to do this.]
I never thought... BOY.
[She turns her eyes toward the older man, still doing little to hide her morbid fascination with his fighting abilities.]
Back then in the forest... you never really had anything to worry about, did you.
[It's just as well that she doesn't. He almost certainly couldn't teach it, and even if he could, he wouldn't. The thought of someone else being able to use his power the way he can? Not one he cares for.]
Why not?
[His tone is pleasant.]
There's a lot of water in living bodies.
No, I probably didn't. But I couldn't be sure. I haven't done anything quite like this before.
[At least, not to a giant spider. To humans? Plenty of times.]
[Turning from the spider's corpse at last, Umi covers her nose and mouth with a hand. Maybe it's just her, being easily influenced by the sight in front of her, but she'd readily swear it's beginning to get rather stinky in there very fast.]
First time experience, huh? [Her tone may reveal a little skepticism. He did hold back information about his abilities before.] Good that it was a success...
[He pauses a moment to prod with one foot at one of the spider's legs, assuring himself that it's really dead. Then he turns only so he can watch her reaction--the sight of the spider's corpse doesn't bother him at all. It's more amusing to see how Umi reacts, though.
He's in the process of lighting a cigarette when she speaks again, and another flash of amusement crosses his face. Amusement with a dash of appreciation this time. She's learning to question how much he tells her. That isn't necessarily a good thing for him--it might make using her harder--but it raises his opinion of her. Well, since she already suspects, he might as well confirm...]

Of course, it could always come back. This is the City, after all.

[Indeed, his broadcast of said coordinates is locked to her.]
