Yup.

(He sure does. And maybe he'll explain it later but for now, he's more interested in Ochako's power,)

Huh. (He leans in to look and notices! Wow, strange! Nothing wrong with it... but interesting!) Like... gravity magic?

(Maybe? He's never seen it and it's all sort of just higher theory stuff that he doesn't really get. He's got an open mind though! So he's trying to understand,)

Is there a limit?

(A weight limit? A time limit?)

[infreefall]

[ she's making a mental note to ask more about that, because it doesn't make any sense to her? but for now, the distraction is okay.

...even if she does flush a little and look away. ]

I guess so, but I've never seen gravity magic. The limit's just however much I can handle before I get sick, though. Right now... I think I'm up to about six tonnes?

[riegan]

Six tonnes? That's incredible!

(Truly. He seems genuinely impressed by this and just... delighted by this?)

Well... not the becoming sick part. But I bet you can do all sorts of incredible things with that kind of power. You could carry anything! Fly? Well... I suppose it would be more like levitation?

(Think! About! The possibilities! Except she doesn't have to because... well, they're her powers.)

[infreefall]

[ she seems... surprised? by this? ]

Yeah, I can make myself float, but it's pretty hard. It messes with your balance a lot, and if you aren't used to freefall, it's pretty disorienting, so I don't use it on myself that much. I catch other people with it a lot?. But mostly it just means moving things so I can help rescue people, or dropping things on someone I'm fighting.

[riegan]

(Why not be surprised when it's so cool!!)

I'd love to see it some time. (Which sounds so impossible when--) I know powers don't seem to work here... but if there's ever a chance, I'd like to.

[infreefall]

...Actually, mine did work, for a little while - when we were stuck in that disturbance a few weeks ago. It stopped again once we got back, but that means our abilities can still work sometimes.

[ not. that it helps now, she supposes. ]

I wouldn't mind showing you, though, when it's working again.

[riegan]

Then maybe they'll come back for good some day.

(Ah, but as soon as he says that he frowns,)

It might make things more complicated though...

(Because. Murder.)

[infreefall]

That's true... But if someone was found under a pile of rocks, you'd know it was probably me.

[ that's. a terrible joke. ]

[riegan]

I wouldn't be so sure.

(He's going along with this joke. Also he's going to hand Ochako some supplies! Gauze, bandages, anti-septic, some painkillers?? He's not so sure about those.)

Here. You can take care of yourself from here, right? Keep it clean and covered and if you regain your feeling, you can take these. I'm not too familiar with them but it looks like there are instructions.

[infreefall]

[ she'll take them, but... ]

You don't have painkillers where you're from?

[riegan]

Not like this. Usually they're some sort of powder or elixir... something more natural from an apothecary.

(That sure is an old word.)

Or if you're in luck, you can find a healer who can take care of the pain and injury with magic.

[infreefall]

...Your world sounds pretty tough. We have quirks and all, but it's hard to imagine someplace so different.

[riegan]

It isn't the easiest world but it's home.

(He still loves it.)

[infreefall]

[ she stares at claude thoughtfully for a moment, opens her mouth to say something, and seems to decide against it. ]

Right... Guess it's the same for me, too.
