Huh. I've never tried to concentrate fire like that. Only ice. Much easier to make into a blade.
[Don't worry, he doesn't think Izumo would do something like that.] A chainsaw... Well, you're gonna have to tell me if it hurts too much since... Let's see, it's been about eight years since I've been able to feel pain normally? I'll try not to cut too deep.
[He goes quiet as he puts a pair of gloves on, feeling butterflies of nervousness in his stomach.]
[The smile does help a bit. Nari takes a deep breath and uses a hand to gently push against Izumo's exposed skin. To gauge where the least amount of damage could be done to tendons and muscles. When he finds a good spot, he looks at Izumo.]
There's no shame in closing your eyes.
[Then he'll wait a moment before making an inch long incision, pressing down on the sides to get the blood flowing. That's when he sits back and nods.] Time to do whatever you did last time.
Just wait until you find out how used to blood Izumo can actually be. Happens when you fight and burn up a lot of gangs.
There's a soft hiss that escapes when he makes the incision, the pain brief but sharp enough. His eyes immediately go down to the cut as the blood flows, eyebrows furrowing.
It seems like he's concentrating, the blood dripping down from the incision, before it suddenly stops just before it touches the tabletop. It remains there briefly before sliding upwards, back to the incision.]
[Just like dead bodies aren't the only thing Nari's cut into? He sees no problem with it, but talking about what his parents had him do as a child never sat well with people.
As soon as Izumo starts concentrating, the redhead changes his angle, moving so he could watch intently.]
That. Is actually really, really cool. Holy fuck. [Very gingerly going to touch the wound.] Feels a little warm but not unexpected from punctured skin. I wonder if an ability like that can promote faster healing...
[There's a soft yelp of panic when the blood falls, Nari rushing to grab a towel to put over Izumo's arm. He keeps pressure on it and hopes his partner doesn't feel the slight tremor.]
That's dangerous... Please, if you use it in that way... can you promise me that the moment you feel faint you'll stop? I don't want to get a call that something...
[Bad happened, and Izumo wouldn't be coming back. In any way.]
[That is enough to help calm him down, Nari biting his lip as he closes his eyes.]
Good. I... I've lost way too many people in my life already, I don't want to lose more. Especially you. Please, if you need medical help, or anything, just come to me?
I'm holding you to that. [He checks the cut, then decides it's time to wrap it up since the cut wasn't deep enough to really warrant stitches.] Here's to hoping you really do heal faster. You're staying here. I'm making you iron rich foods, so go lay on the couch and rest, alright? I'll wake you if you fall asleep.
No, not really. I've told Urashima about you, and Akechi doesn't really come to me unless he needs something. Oh yeah, I got a new shinki. Another teen. Complete opposite of that ray of sunshine I got assigned.
[What would be good to make... here's to hoping Izumo likes spinach.]

[He gives Nari a reassuring smile.]
It's alright - I trust you, Nari.
cw: blood and such for those following along from here on out

no subject
Possibly, but I'm not sure if I can give this sort of ability to others.
[Ah, but is that all he can do?
He focuses more, trying to will the blood to do something. It takes a bit before drops of the blood begin to float in the air .]
no subject
[Not that Nari doesn't like scars except his own. It might take a while before he's willing to show those off in any capacity.
The droplets of blood floating does put him on guard as he moves away a foot or two.]
.... yeah, definitely could weaponize that.
no subject
Izumo makes a face a bit.]
Sorry about that. [But he looks back at the cut, the blood moving naturally now as it slides out.]

Don't worry, I promise. [A slight quirk of his lips.
He's not going to be reckless with his life.]

Kissing him lightly, he pulls back a bit. He gives him a smile.]
You won't lose me.

Alright. [With the cut wrapped up, he slowly stands, taking care in case he ends up feeling dizzy.]
Your shinki won't be freaked if they see me here, will they?
no subject
[What would be good to make... here's to hoping Izumo likes spinach.]
no subject
[Nope, he doesn't mind spinach at all.
And Izumo makes himself comfortable on the couch as he waits.]
