Then all you have to do is keep doing it!

[ grins! ]

Seriously, you don't have to do much. I've been proud of you lately. The only time you backslid was during a flood and that only partially counts. Keep doing what you're doing and you'll graduate before you know it.

[ Granted, there's still a WHOLE bundle of issues to work through. But gotta give the kid his props! Plus, Dorian's idly a bit curious as to how Johann would react to a statement like that. ]

[monsterjohann]

[It's a lot. He doesn't quite know how to handle it. Florian admitting that he loves him. Dorian being proud.

He's a little overwhelmed.]

Well, fine.

Don't you even want to know what I'm going to do with the magic?

[Steering this away from feelings!]

[brushoff]

I'm going to guess the obvious and say that you're going to learn how to actually use it. [ He's just saying. ]

You've had what, less than a month between getting your magic and arriving here? You need practice.

[monsterjohann]

Less than that.

And when I got here, the Admiral took it all away. And it's Florian's magic! The least he could have fucking done is given me the same restrictions he gave Florian!

[brushoff]

Out of curiosity, what restrictions did he give Florian?

[monsterjohann]

Um.

[He has to think a moment.]

Nothing outwardly harmful to other people. Consent needed to use it on another person.

[brushoff]

Those seem like good limitations for you as well, [ he shrugs. ] Nothing outwardly harmful, consent needed...we can talk more as you get better at your magic, but it's no use saying 'Johann can't blow up the Barge' if you can't even do that to begin with.

[monsterjohann]

I want to use it on myself. Not anyone else. Ger stronger so I can throw you off a building next time we go to the Enclosure.

[He cackles.]

[brushoff]

Throw me off a building and I'm taking you down with me, [ he grins. ]

[monsterjohann]

[He waggles his eyebrows and then throws another peel at him.]

Promise?

[brushoff]

[ Dorian catches that peel...and then immediately throws it back at Johann. ]

Pinky swear. It's a promise.

[monsterjohann]

[He dodges it and lets it fall to the floor.

Enjoy your trash, buddy!]

Tell me when it's done and I can show off all I can do.

[brushoff]

Then get the hell out of my room so I can bother the Admiral! [ he laughs. ]

[monsterjohann]

[He stands up and, laughing, makes a stop in his kitchen for another orange on his way out.]
