"Oh no, I'm sorry!"

"Why did you leave?"

"To get the people who wanted leaves some leaves..."

Sigh. Normally if someone awakening was a danger to themselves they could, in the worst cases, go to a mental hospital where their options could be limited. However, there isn't actually a way to contain Lorica and some of the dimensions she can reach are extremely dangerous to spend even a little time in. He can pull her back as long as he's keeping her tagged, but if she went to the boiling water dimension he might not get her back before she hurt herself.

"Okay, I think you shouldn't use your power again until a week has passed, can you promise me that?"

Permalink

"But there could be an emergency."

Permalink

"You can tell me if there's an emergency. Please."

Permalink

"Well of course I would try but that's not really how emergencies work! I don't have my old armor any more, if somebody breaks in and points a gun at me or something all I can do is disappear."

Permalink

"Can you promise only to go to the void?"

Permalink

"Somebody wanted a snakeball."

Permalink

Which would be in the boiling water dimension.

"Yes this would cover not getting that this week."

Permalink

"But what if they really need it for something?"

Permalink

"Please Lorica."

Permalink

"Please?"

Well now she's crying!

Permalink

Oh no this is horrible and what if he hugs her for some time about this.

Permalink

She will eventually stop crying when he stops asking her to promise not to help people who ask her for stuff for long enough! The hug might also help.

Permalink

He'll stop asking. 

Though when Lia comes home he is going to go into a corner and have a quiet conversation with her without letting Lorica out of his sight.

Permalink

Lorica will wait innocently on the couch looking at her phone.

"Hey Lorica there's this cool trick with my blood I've always to wanted to try - could we do a two way blood transfusion? I wouldn't lose any blood and we'd both get some guiding out of it."

Permalink

"I don't actually know what Nikki's blood type is."

Permalink

"Hospital said A positive. I'm A negative but my power can deal with incompatible blood and the guiding from it will fix up any backlash."

Permalink

"...and you want to try this even though that will happen?"

Permalink

"Yeah. I like guiding and think it's cool that my power will let me do this."
