You might want to drink more water next time you have my cooking.
That could help with your butt problems.
[ Rip Law.]
I'm only using the right combination of ingredients so that it can be delicious. Next time we eat meals together I really want you to try this beefsteak recipe.
Alphen, there are places in Calaglia that aren't as hot as your cooking.
I know you got this way because you couldn't feel pain before, but can you seriously still not tell it's too much compared to what Kisara or even Shionne makes?
Hey, Law. I promised that we'd continue our training. Sorry it took so long for me to prepare for it.
[He did promise Law that they'll learn dreamotion together. Alphen looks a little different now because he's wearing an entirely new set of armor. His outfit is covered in gold and white accents. Law might recognize it as the Sovereign's outfit. ]
I know you've been wanting to get stronger. So let's take this one step at a time. We can start whenever you're ready.
I can't keep holding myself back because I'm worried I'll lose control of my own power. We need to fight so we can protect what's most important. Your dad is the one who taught me that.
[ Using the Sovereign's power is risky but what choice does he really have? Certainly it'll help with training and Alphen's prepared for that. Law's looking serious about training. ]
What about you? Have you come prepared? I'll wait if you need more time.
[We need to fight so we can protect what's most important. Yeah... That sounds like something his dad said. A lot, actually... Law's all too familiar with the things Zephyr said, both to him and to his crew. If only he'd taken those words more seriously back then. Then maybe Zephyr...
...Nah, he can't think about that now. Getting all caught up in the could haves or would haves isn't the way to live.]
There's no time like the present, Alphen. Let's get it on!
[ Some of those were even Zephyr's dying words so of course Alphen remembers them. He wishes that he could have learned a lot more from Zephyr. Their time together was cut short and it was a tragedy. Alphen felt powerless to act back then but now he's determined to see that change.]
You're right. Let's go!
[ Alphen takes in a deep breath and calls for the Sovereign's crest. He taps into a power that caused him great suffering. By combining his abilities with dreamotion he creates something similar to the Blazing Sword. The flames are burning away at his hands and arms.
Not really sure what else Law would expect from a man who's literally called the Blazing Sword of Calaglia. ]
[....Oh, seeing Alphen doing that fills Law with big concern. The effects of the Blazing Sword were something that was always dealt with by Shionne. She alone had the power to mitigate and undo the effects the flames had on Alphen's body.
Which raised the concern of what happens if Shionne wasn't around. What if she wasn't available to heal him, or even worse?]
Uhh... Are you sure going for fire is a good idea, Alphen?
Hey, Law. I know you're eager to go out and train but I just wanted to talk for a bit.
[They've been here for a while now and Alphen is still concerned for Law's well being. How could Law possibly be okay? He's been through a lot and Alphen knows it but he just wants to check on his friend. ]
Yeah, I'll remind you as many times as it takes just like how you reminded me before. Zephyr always stopped to tell me it was okay to rest every now and then.
[He's back with Zephyr's words again. Some things never change. ]
You won't be pulling any punches if you trip over with exhaustion. How's your training coming along?
[Law has to stifle a groan at Alphen quoting the Zephyr Bible, knowing full well Zephyr could only say those things because of how much doing otherwise cost him.
...and yet here Law is, also working nonstop. Maybe he's more like his old man than he cares to admit.]
It's going great! I think I've really got the hang of this dreamotion stuff now. You should've seen me back in that water balloon fight on the beach, I was like WHAM! and then WHOOSH! and then I was like EAT THIS! It was pretty awesome.

From:3/20 text closes my eyes
Date: 2022-04-01 12:43 pm (UTC)Everything hurts like hell including my balls. It's actually the worst. I miss not being able to feel any pain.
[It's to be expected that everything hurts seeing as he was nearly burnt alive. ]
no subject
Date: 2022-04-01 06:05 pm (UTC)[Alphen's been out for a while after that whole incident. And when he wakes up this is the first thing he reads???]
That's TMI.
[He doesn't want to hear about your balls?! Go talk to Shionne about that.]
no subject
Date: 2022-04-01 07:15 pm (UTC)It's like I got kicked in the balls while I was out cold.
You should know what it's like to get hit down below. When I sit down all I can think about is how much it hurts.
[ This is extremely illicit guy talk. Alphen refuses to drag Shionne into this. ]
