I'm fine.

[ He is cold, but like hell if he's admitting to it. He'll get frostbite before he admits it's affected him. Despite that he's shivering a teensy bit, if she's feeling particularly observant. ]

It takes a lot of discipline and dedication to complete practice like that. It sounds like you've been doing everything in your power to improve.

[ doki doki Weiss might've just friendship leveled-up. ]

[schmisse]

[ It'd be sad if she didn't improve over the course of a year and more! Weiss may not be perfect (not yet), but she tries her best.

She finds the shivering funny, by the way. Sorry, Midorima. ]

It's okay to tell me if you're cold.

[ Sadly, there's nothing she's willing to do to help him. She's not going to hug him...???? That would be weird. He hasn't earned the right for that yet.

Once they're back on the ground, the grass is only a little wet! And there's glitter everywhere. You just walked into a strip club and had a girl rub he breasts all over you, Midorima. ]

The glitter is nice, though it gets messy whenever I make something big.

[accurately]

It's ice, what do you expect me to say? I can be cold and fine.

[ Let him be his prideful self Weiss!! Don't judge his shivering!! ]

Explain the glitter.

[ Because. He gets the ice. Why the glitter?? Weiss doesn't seem like a birthday party gone wrong to him. ]

[schmisse]

[ She just shakes her head, and there's a sign of a smirk on her lips. ]

Whatever you say. As for the glitter? I don't know. [ She really doesn't, but she thinks it's nice to look at together with the ice. ] It's harmless, at least.

[accurately]

Glitter is a pain to get out of everything.

[ Weiss isn't a pain but her glitter is. His shoes are going to be bedazzled for the next month. X( ]

[schmisse]

[ She looks him over as she thinks, then: ]

How about getting rid of it with your own magic?

[accurately]

I don't think mine works that way.

[ He's set in his decision that what he can do is all luck-related in some way, for better or worse. ]

[schmisse]

[ Well, that's unfortunate. ]

Do you want me to do it for you?

[accurately]

[ Sorry Weiss, he hasn't been here to practice as long as you have! He's working on it though!! Though he's working on growing 4-leaf clovers so that's not particularly helpful. ]

Can you? I thought yours was ice and glitter.

[schmisse]

It used to be just those two, but I've been able to do other things since I came back.

[ With a flick of her wrist, a very, very tiny tornado dances from one side of Midorima's shoulder to another. The glitter gets brushed away easily. ]

There we go.

[accurately]

[ This is easily one of the strangest things he's ever experienced, and he visibly stiffens while the tornado moves about his shoulders. It gets it off him at least (though he's sure he'll still find something somewhere later). ]

How many elements can you control?

[schmisse]

Enough.

[ Enough that she is able to get shit done, anyway. The number of elements there are may be debatable when there are various types of Dust, which may not be considered the same type of elements in other worlds. ]

[accurately]

[ Don't get him started on that kind of elemental distribution. He's a chemistry kind of guy, if you try to explain that mixing white dust and blue dust together makes ice dust he's going to have a conniption because that doesn't make any sense in terms of molecular elements since ice and water are the same thing at different temperatures, not two elements mixed together.

"Enough" is probably the best answer she can give for this reason, even if he wants to know more. ]

That's vague.

[schmisse]

I don't really know the answer, myself. It's a lot easier to create ice over fire and wind, although earth is not something I've touched on just yet.

[ Does that help? ]

[accurately]

What emotions do you tap into to achieve each of those elements?

[ Sorry Weiss, he's in learning mode. He'd probably be taking notes if he had something to take them with. ]

[schmisse]

Magic is a lot easier to do when I'm calm.

[ It makes her more concentrated. And it's not like she has a lot of happy memories to fall back on in case she isn't calm. ]

Do you want me to teach you?

[accurately]

[ He considers for a moment, because he doesn't do emotions openly with anyone. Weiss is intelligent though, and understands not wanting to be emotionally open about everything, and it doesn't actively hurt his pride to ask her for help. So he gives her a nod. ]

[schmisse]

I'll give you homework, then.

[ ... she sounds excited by the idea of giving homework. (unsure) ]

Try to switch the lights in your room on and off without getting up from your seat. If you can do it everyday for an entire week, let me know.

[accurately]

[ Midorima looks determinedly like he might like the idea of getting homework. (unsure) Someone help these nerds?

Incidentally, Weiss has just unleashed hell on Kuroko since Midorima will be practicing this essentially until he gets it and likely won't consider the main room of the apartment is not the best place to do it. ]

That shouldn't take too long.

[schmisse]

[ Blake took a while to get it, but Midorima seems confident. Good on him. ]

I'll prepare the lesson plans right away then, if you think you can do it quickly.

[ She's not taunting him or anything. It's actually exciting for her... she wants to nerd out! ]

[accurately]

[ He pushes up his glasses, in a manner that seems to indicate he's accepting this challenge. ]

I may not have been in school for some time, but I wasn't a top-ranking student without reason.

[ Just because Akashi isn't there to knock him out of first place in everything doesn't mean he slacks off with his school work. This is the first thing here that really sounds like a decent challenge. ]

[schmisse]

[ Wow, no need to brag, Midorima. ]

Like I said, just let me know.

[ She's going to prepare all the colour coded binders and paper clips........... ☺️ ]
