...hoh... Tenarrrr-chan~, you didn't notice, did you? Even if you don't believe yourself vulnerable to infection - which is foolish at best, if you're human - there's another risk from this thing. You narrowly risked death when you tempted the Ring's anger.

All I can think is that the reason you weren't harmed was that only one of the prongs managed to penetrate. That or how fast you drew away.

[inheritedburden]

...My name's just Tenar, not Tenarchan. Why did you call me that?

[So much confusion. But he just shrugs a little.]

No, stuff can get infected. But I've fought since I was a little kid, and my body's really strong -- strong enough that I can ignore stuff like that for a while before I take care of it. I was gonna clean it later, but Kai got to healing it first.

But... what do you mean? I know the Ring's prongs are sharp, but I wasn't in a spot where you could stab my heart or anything...

[fluffydeathdealer]

...It's an honorific.You don't have those in Bizarro Fighting Magic World?

[Waving a hand dismissively, he sits up.]

This Ring of mine has a secret... and it doesn't need to penetrate your heart for it to work. It's better if it does, but... the defensive measures of this Ring have nothing to do with their sharpness. It's got a special defence mechanism, you see. So it's probably best not to antagonize it again.

[inheritedburden]

Nope. What's an honorific?

[...Special defense mechanism? Tenar's eyes flicker with both wariness and curiosity. What could that be? More magic stuff?]

What does it do?

[fluffydeathdealer]

It's something you add to the end of a name to denote their status and display politeness. Little kids like yourself get "-chan" added to the end of their name, adults get "-san". There's a whole bunch more.

[He smiles slowly.]

Heheh. It incinerates you from the inside.

[inheritedburden]

...Um. Why do you do that instead of just calling them by their names?

[Oh. Oh dear. Tenar's eyes go wide, and he eyes the Ring with a lot more suspicion now.]

How does it do THAT?

[fluffydeathdealer]

Beats me. It doesn't talk or anything, so hell if I know how it does anything.

...

I just told you why we do it.

[inheritedburden]

So... it's just to be polite. Okay...

[He can't exactly argue the idea of that, but geeze, a whole kind of system just for that? No wonder they didn't have any fighting tournaments, they were too busy with silly stuff.]

I'll make sure not to touch it again, then.

[fluffydeathdealer]

It shouldn't really try to do that unless you try to put it on... but it's pretty feisty, so who knows?

[Silly stuff? He agrees. Shit like that's totally boring.]

Are you surprised, Tenar?
