Jade's anger subsided after I gave it the yummy energy ball. Even so, the little bird gave me a stern warning.
[Jade will tell Nightmare too!]
Wow...the bird must be majorly pissed if it even used Natha to threaten me.
"I get it, I get it. I'll tell him myself once we get back, okay?" I patted the little bird before it stomped its way toward the small murky ball of mana. I didn't manage to get much--just a bit bigger than Jade--but the little bird told me it was enough for a few hours of transformation.
After Jade entered the ball, I felt Zia on my back, squeezing around my waist like a safety belt. "You're so reckless!" she hissed again. Seemed like the scolding was yet to end.
"I told you I forgot..."
It had been such a long time since there was any effect on me, not since I absorbed the fire elemental mana in Ignis's volcano.
"The fact that you forgot means you are reckless, Val!" Zia pinched my cheek hard.
"Ah--ah--I get it! I'm sorry, so--ouch!"
"Hmph!"
