[ Oh, thanks. He shakes off bits of ice from his hand, away from Shenhe bit letting the fire aid him. He nods a little bit in acknowledgment. ]
So it doesn't include that "healing" stuff or whatever "drift aura" is, I take it.
[ He's seen that it involves like. Teleportation and invisibility... which he thinks aren't elements...? He's not a magic guy, he doesn't know anything. ]
[ He can understand most of those, except anemo and dendro. Wtf are those? He doesn't ask because he feels it's likely not really relevant to anything they're doing at the moment. ]
Yeah, water of life and all that. I think that makes sense.
Some people where I'm from have got weird abilities, usually through mechanical and genetic augmentations, but don't really know anyone who can just freely manipulate... elements, like this.
[shenhe like let me explain to you how elemental reactions in the wildly popular gacha game genshin impact work]
If you apply Cryo, and then I apply Pyro to the same spot, it will cause a reaction. The skin won't know how to handle it, and any subsequent attacks will hurt much more. [throws hands in the air MELT DAMAGE]
Alternatively, you could add ice spikes somewhere high, and I could melt the base enough to have them drop down onto our enemies.
But also oh shit the reactions. He thinks about it for a moment and well, things like the Leidenfrost effect are there, and when something is cold enough, it does feel like it's burning. He thinks he can make sense of this. ]
Right. Sounds pretty rough. Maybe we'll have to practice it somewhere and figure it out.
Are we going to stay in the shelter we were given on that night? [she has a few people worries about, but - honestly, her team is important to her and she'll defer to them.] I'm a light sleeper. I can alert us to danger.
[ah, yeah, that makes sense actually, she didn't even think about that.]
It would defeat the purpose of a night dedicated to erasure, yes. [she tucks her hair behind her ear.] In that case, I will definitely want to set traps. We will need to test our limits.
[she just sort of absently reaches for his hand and holds it. like she doesn't even realize she's doing it.]
[ Well, you know what. He gives into this by now because he has an inkling it's not just them being weird, but the place itself being weird. He's been on and off holding so many hands. She can have this, putting his fingers between hers. ]
And with just a little bit of luck, we won't ever.
[ Unfortunately, luck doesn't tend to follow him around, but he doesn't need to say that. They're capable -- if this was any other situation, they would be pretty damn impenetrable.
However! As they are about to find out in 3 days...! ]

[she shifts the fire a little to get a bit more of the ice.]
Hydro has been known to heal in some aspects, but there's nothing dedicated to healing or... drift.

[she brushes a piece of ice from his jacket. touch week is making her fidgety.]
no subject
Then maybe it's not that different. How do people get Visions?
no subject
... They're a gift from the gods. [she says, looking down at her arms to brush away the ice.]
no subject
...
[ It's so funny how everything about Shenhe seems to fly a little too close to the sun with Wolfwood. ]
Nevermind. Sorry I asked.
no subject
Mm. [she's a little eager to push past that topic, honestly - it's better that he doesn't know how she earned her vision.
she adjusts the red ropes around her arm, and then straightens.] In any case. Perhaps we can find a way to combine our power, since we're teammates.
no subject
Fire would just melt me, wouldn't it?
I guess you're the one who uses both. How would you go about combining it?

Traps sound good.
no subject
Perhaps, if we are able, we should set up traps around us on Thursday night. [she is Convinced a murder is going to happen.]
no subject
[ The fucking Thursday rule. It's paranoia fuel that he's been keeping in check, but it's looming ever-closer.
He's also admittedly thinking of Livio who's in a different team and therefore can't hang at their warehouse... big boy... will he be safe... ]

no subject
[ In fact, he doesn't think he's going to sleep at all. Until curfew forcibly knocks them all out, anyway. ]
We don't even know if we'll have a choice. Maybe they won't even let us sleep in the warehouse at all, since nobody can enter those except us, right?
