anyway.

[He scoffs. He's about ready to head off for the training rooms without her. Making his way there already, it seemed. His heavy stride echoes through the small hallway.]

[He stood with a sour scowl on his face, the same as usual. Truth be told, with everything else going on, he was ready to drop face first into his bed and be done with today.]

... I'll just get the combat training out of the way. I can eat at home. No need to rest when I'm fresh off a bath, +

ride out the rest of the treatment. Eventually, the synthesized mana would drain from the pool, leaving him standing in the drafty air and tiles.

. . . .

The door slides open again, with Jax standing at its front in the underarmor of the main set. A sleeveless black bodysuit and combat boots.]

shutting his eyes tight.

From the outside of the room, there was finally escape from the rippling blacks and reds that came from his fear and anger of possibly setting the alarms off for Boke to come and intervene.

And eventually, they'd subside within himself, as well. Well enough for him to +
October 28, 2024 at 6:09 AM
[The beat of his chest was finally able to subside as well, knowing she was on the other side of the door. He'd done good and well to keep in Boke's good graces, and keep those machines out of his skin.

He makes an effort to relax, but he couldn't get the stupid shake of her voice out of his head,+
October 28, 2024 at 6:07 AM
Each answer was merely what he knew they wanted to hear. If something was wrong, something needed to be fixed. That could take hours, days, or weeks depending on what they deemed the source of the problem.

Sometimes it was agonizing.]

... You write down what I told you. Not a damn thing else.
October 27, 2024 at 6:08 AM
[He understood plenty. He understood that she was still prodding around his mind like a nosy little prick.

Whether she was reading it outright or not, it was easy enough to hear in her shaky little voice that she knew all his answers were lies. And if not lies, stretches of the truth.

had issue keeping up with it, not the other way around. He bends his knees ever so slightly, letting the mana rise to his chin.]

Hmmh...
October 26, 2024 at 6:26 AM
[He settles back into the familiarity, glad to knock that pestering line of questioning off before it got too invasive.]

... Nope.

[This time, the truth. Despite the immense power it held, the Fusion Core was an outstanding piece of technology. A marvel in cybernetics.

It was his body that +

mission. But what use was it to these people if it was all going to wash away, anyway? He feels it, his body reacting to the healing power of this special mana.]

Stick to the script, lady. I'm not your new pet project, you hear me?

[His brow is twitching again.]
October 26, 2024 at 6:06 AM
[His eyes flicker open as he realizes the questions had suddenly changed. He tries not to pay it much mind. If this was the person in charge of this operation, what could possibly come of it..?]

... No. I'm fine.

[Now, an utter lie. These were all quite common to him at the end of any straining+
October 26, 2024 at 6:04 AM
his superhuman strength and speed that gave issue. And even then, he could ignore it well enough by now until the treatment.

So, half-truths.]

...
October 26, 2024 at 5:53 AM
[He repeats the same answer he did after every mission.]

No, and no.

[Truth be told, he could very well experience those in the heat of battle if it were a particularly hard fight, but those were rare at best these days. It was the still-human bones and muscles that fought to keep up with +

horrifying concept on paper, but one that felt quite nice in reality.]

Fine.

[He practically growls. He could fall asleep right where he stood, if he let himself... But diagnostics would have to be his substitute for rest, at the moment.]

Fire away.
October 26, 2024 at 5:35 AM
[He sits in silence for a moment, wanting to enjoy the sensation running through his body for just a moment before getting into the science of it all over again.]

... Hff.

[It still felt as though his bones were setting back into place. His muscle fibers were reforming, all in real time. A +
October 26, 2024 at 5:33 AM
The liquid finally lifts to swallow his torso, his final step into the small pool inviting the stuff around his shoulders. Only his head remained above.]

... Hm..hh...

[He contained further vocalizations, but this thing always felt like heaven.]

any human body. Even the masters of ancient times could only manage two.

He's waist deep, and already his spine felt as though it'd popped all the way along each joint. The surge of relief to his bones and muscles was a release unlike any other.]

HHuhhf...

[He groans out as he shuts his eyes. +
October 26, 2024 at 5:16 AM
The mana slowly envelopes his legs, a heavy sigh heaves from his lips. Despite the ease he perceived his mission with, there was no denying that the Fusion Core was a different beast all together from the standard Manasoldier Core. Juggling several different forms of Mana at once was a tough ask of+

the professionalism that came with such a treatment. She was an Experiment as well, so she must know the process.]

... Hmph.

[He shakes his head, lifting a leg to the edge of the pool, its chrome steps forming at the edge now that he stepped on. Slowly, he descends. +
October 26, 2024 at 5:13 AM
[He keeps his focus directed on the pool. It wasn't a luxury tub or anything, a confined space pretty much just built to fit him and the displaced, liquified mana that would begin to heal him.

Her reaction, in his eyes, was just as squirrely and clumsy as any other time. Surely she could handle +

frame, removing the bulky shoulder plating and setting the damaged pieces aside.

Piece by piece, he'd continue. As if she weren't even there. He'd done it in front of Boke several times, this was no different.

He awaits the energy-laden liquid filling up the pool, stark as day.]

...
October 26, 2024 at 4:52 AM
He scoffs at his own... Weakness? He wasn't much concerned with his honor or reputation. That must be it.]

Kh.

[He walks in and passes her by as she takes a seat at the diagnostic table. The both of them aught to know how the mana soak goes by now. He was already disengaging his armor from his +
October 26, 2024 at 4:49 AM
[He stands with his fists hanging at his sides as she leans down to the scanner. His eyes drifted beneath the poof of raven hair she'd kept in such a uniform shape for just a split moment. He tears them away, knowing that if he thought on it for too long, she'd certainly be able to detect it. +
