+23+ [action]
[Today, Leon is practically living in one of the battle dome rooms. How many times now had he put off actual combat practice? There had been a few distractions here and there, but he had to admit to himself that a good majority of the time was spent tinkering with symbols and gems in his lab.
When was the last time there had been a large draft? Four months ago? Was that the last time he had swung his sword around for any good reason for more than a few minutes? His lack of practice shows in his awkward test swings. Even with a practice simulation to fight, he's quickly tiring. Claude would probably laugh at the mistakes he was making.
Leon huffs and moves on to Symbology practice, switching from the Claude's Silvance to his own Heraldry blade. Even within the barrier and with the lower augmentation of his sword, he's able to quickly form ice needles and arc black sabers across the room. When he switches to one of his Symbology tomes, he increases his range and covers the walls in a thick layer of ice. And then shatters the ice with a decisive flick of one hand.
--
Later on, towards the mid-afternoon, Leon trudges over to the plaza to go looking for something to eat. First the bakery to check out the pastries for the day, then the coffee shop to order something cold, and then over to the grocery store to grab something for the inevitable midnight munchies.]

I've never done it before, but theoretically it's not dissimilar from the kind of symbol work I'm already doing. [...] That is to say, I've put symbols on things, but never tattooed them on people.

[Because if so, then he's out of luck. However, he might be able to grab someone from a place that's similar to lend him a hand...]

There's really no way to know whether or not you'll be able to perform Symbology without having you actually try; even if you do have potential, there's no telling how well that'll translate into another world's system of elements, you know?
[...] Basically, it'd be difficult. No telling how difficult.
no subject
But it can be done? You can help me with it?
[He'd already decided on one tough path. This one would at least get him some interesting ink for the deal.]
no subject
Yeah. Yeah, I can help you with it, if you're willing to see this through until we know whether or not it works.
no subject
[He smirks.]
It's for my benefit, so I don't know how I couldn't see it through.
no subject
I'll have to do some research into the tattooing process. In the meantime, you can figure out where you want the tattoos.
no subject
[Isamu is... actually excited. He'd come here for some physical training, but he knows he'll be too distracted for that now. He'll run a scenario and then maybe check out the library on his own.]
I'll let you know, okay? Leon, right? I'll look you up.
no subject
Let me know when you're ready; it shouldn't take me too long to do the actual research.
