[Brocade looks up from his texting on the deck, brightening immediately when he sees Aster!]

OH BRO! GOOD TIMING!

[ IS IT??? ]

It is?

YEAH, about to let ol Sam get some frustrations out in the ring. So uh. He might need a hand after if you ain't got anything going.

[ oh. well, yeah, he can get that actually ]

— oh. Yeah, that's fine. Do you have a minute first, though? Like, alone. There's something I should've told you about a while ago.

Sure? Let's go use one of them quiet rooms.

Cool.

[ aaaand once they they make it to one, he's going to. shift his weight uneasily, guiltily, ]

Um. So. I'm sorry, but I haven't been totally honest with you about one of my Blessings. I've been keeping some parts of it secret, but after the last performance...that's kinda started to become impossible.

[Like, 13 worst case scenarios from he's a teen dad now to he's dropped out of school to someone's hanging off the side of the cruise ship right now and then ending with I'M DYING is alleviated.]

[Mostly.]

[He's just. Going over what he knows.]

[Makes a "Go on," gesture.]

You remember the painkiller touch thing I can do?

[Makes a "Go on," gesture.]

Um. It's not really killing pain. It's...I take it for myself.

....

I'D REBROKEN A RIB.

...I have a really high pain tolerance.

I'M NOT GOING TO LET ME BEING IMPRESSED GET IN THE WAY OF BEING IMPISSED.

That's fair. Sorry. I was wrong not to tell you, and I was especially wrong to use it without telling you. Or without asking, sometimes.

I should make you take the stress headache I'm gettin'.

Yeah. I aint keen on havin' hurt you. Especially without knowin' I did it.

[He rubs his face.] So.... Y'over did it in public, huh?

[ opens and closes mouth to offer to take the stress headache

then stops himself ]

Something like that. Not everyone noticed, but enough did that this isn't much of a secret anymore. I've promised a few people to start asking from now on.

[HE SEES THAT U LIL SHIT.

He's so worried he's almost forgetting to be ma- no just kidding he's still mad. He exhales.]

And the healin'? You get backlash there too?

[ holds up hands ]

No backlash there, promise. I get tired if I push it too hard, but I think that's true for anyone.

[He rubs his face, leaning against one of the conference room tables. His expression is even and calm but oh the TAIL TIP IS LASHING BACK AND FORTH SO MUCH.]

Aw right. C'mere.

[ THIS FEELS LIKE A TRAP but maybe it's just a hug

hesitantly goes there ]
