[That gets him an emphatic nod. She remembers how the ghosts in that mausoleum had looked, and even without that - Ari Tayrey has seen people die violently; she knows how it can look. Nobody wants to see that, for sure.]
Exactly. Even if they can't help it, it's not something you want to see.
[But this is getting a little grim. She's going to make an effort not to fall into that sort of spiral.] You want to see something cool? Not a ghost, word by contract!
[Ari smiles, and then holds up a hand, thumb and fingers apart. She concentrates, and there's a little spark from her hand, before a small arc of electricity starts leaping from one finger to another.]
From that strange liquid. I'm still trying to work out how to do anything useful with it, and to understand how it works, but I hope I will. I've taken a lot of observations. I'm hoping I can make batteries someday! That would help a lot, wouldn't it?
Oh coool. [Klaus holds their hand out and there's just the tiniest bit of water forming in the palm of their hand.] And you already know Nobunaga. So we just need like wind and earth to round us out??? I guess? [The batteries thing does sound useful.] Yeah! Maybe you just gotta practice a lot!
[She laughs.] He suggested nuclear power, but I don't think it's a good idea to let anyone loose with that!
You're right. I'm going to practice, I have a- [is Azula actually a friend? Ari likes her. Close enough.] -friend who already had an ability like that back home, and she helped me to be able to control it. I'm sure I can make it useful somehow.
It doesn't sound like a good idea. [Feels like a problem in the making.]
Oh! Cool! I don't think I know anyone that can do the like...water thing? Or maybe they can and I just don't know. But it'll be great to like be able to fill a bath without the well.

[There's another squint at that.] Yeah. Okay. I think it'd be hard to show me a ghost right now anyway.
no subject
Isn't that the strangest thing?!

I am getting so tired of having to carry water from that well all the time. I'd pay you for instant water services!

That's fair. I am also tired, but Nobunaga tends to do it for me. Aw! I hope I get stronger, then. I'll fill up your buckets!
