"I'm not sure how I'd fare against the illusions and couldn't actually get past them without causing a lot of property damage and probably quite a few deaths, and the pocket dimension is... Concerning. One of my counters is being trapped in something I can't escape from by moving." She shrugs. "I try not to barrel into tactical nightmares."
"And you came to me because you expect me to go around regulations and go fight the Blasphemies with you."
"I came here to ask. I don't expect you to do anything, I don't know you nearly well enough."
"Eidolon, I can be anywhere in the world in ten seconds, the only reason I ever slow down is so I don't break squishy people."
She does not say 'Like patrolling uselessly?' but she thinks it.
"I'm relieved you're thinking about tactics. There's nothing important going on at the moment, no."
"All right. It's sort of hard for me to work out a strategy beforehand with your powers in mind, for obvious reasons, but I can definitely try, if you have certain powers you tend to keep. But since mine don't change - are you willing to sit through a 'these are my capabilities' demonstration? You've mostly heard about what I do, not actually seen any of it."
He shrugs. "Sure. The unpredictability of my powers is part of the reason I haven't taken them on. That, and the fact that I have to hold back."
"How does your power picking ability work, exactly? Just whatever you ask for, or is it based off of tactical situations occurring right then?"
"It gives me what it thinks I need. I can only hold up to three or four at a time, and after I let go, there's a period of time during which it selects and then forms a power."
"So we can actually do some tactics talk beforehand, just not specifics."
"More or less. My power can't plan, so I can't use it to figure out what I'll need during the actual fight."
