Theory

"I think I have found what is preventing me from healing and I would like to try something to verify my theory. »

This time his tone is surprised and much happier. 'Is it true, have you found the source of your problem? What prevented you from recovering?'

The turn of his sentence makes me wince and he notices it and immediately frowns.

He almost mentally shouts 'What? Tell me, was it me again?'

My grimace grows stronger but I'm not aware, "Not really or at least not entirely. I think my body needs strength to heal and I wear myself out every day to get stronger. »

My bodily and vocal response makes him growl for a long time.

"I'm not even sure that's the problem, it just seems logical to me. Besides I if I hadn't given you my energy, I would have exhausted it anyway with my training to strengthen myself the next day so please stop sulking. »

My explanation seems to have convinced him since I saw him relax before hearing my remark at the very end.

'I never sulk!'

Of course… My thoughts race and make him growl even louder, he shakes the padding on the floor.

'You're lucky I can't bite you anymore without being able to leave you in a piece.'

"At least you're not sulking now." I called you to warn you that I wouldn't give you the energy to put my theory to the test. »

'You are stupid. It's obvious that your body needs strength to heal, there's no need to test that theory.' I didn't even bother to respond to his verbal attack.

"I have something else to ask you, otherwise I wouldn't have called you. I would like to try to deliver my energy into my injured limbs to see if the healing is faster. If I wasn't healing for lack of energy, I should logically be able to heal faster by delivering energy directly where I need it. »

'You have n't learned the lesson? Need I remind you how you hurt your hands?'

Because you suddenly backed off for no reason. I didn't have time to hold back that thought.

A furious roar instantly answered my thought.

"Sorry, I can't control my thoughts and you know I don't really blame you for this incident." I just want to be able to recover. »

'What do you want me to do ?' I can hear he's furious but the damage is already done and he still seems willing to cooperate so I decide not to broach the subject any further.

"I will put as little energy as possible into my foot and into my hands. I would like you to inspect the process through my eyes to see if there is any problem with the operation. I have already shared my view with you many times so that you familiarize yourself with my magic, and you have often observed me during my training using my senses. »

"If all goes well, I'll slowly increase the energy and I'm counting on you to let me know when I should stop." Controlling my energy so finely in several parts of my body will require all my concentration. Having a second point of view to assess the situation will greatly reduce the risks ."

'It's stupid and dangerous, you could wait to see if you heal naturally during your test.'

….

'Very well, then begin I will assist you'

I settled in and then focused on my control.

'It doesn't work, I can see your magic when you summon it but in such small quantities and inside your body, I wouldn't see anything.'

I sigh "I suspected it a little but I had a backup plan, I only hoped not to have to apply it, it will complicate things. »

I focused on my mind, I see things much differently when it's with my mind that I see the world and I can see the vital energy of everything in my perimeter including that of my body.

'You don't need to spread your mind and complicate your task, I've been training since you shared your senses and training with me. I too wanted to have access to this ability and by sharing your senses and your memories, it became quite easy to reproduce it.

I got there and now I too can unfold my mind.

" What ? And you're only telling me now? You tell me every evening in detail each of your hunts but you don't tell me that? »

A rather frightening smile, considering the size of his teeth, appeared on his face.

'I was waiting for the right moment to tell you and saw your face, I don't regret it'

His body twitched from his silent laughter.

"Are you still hiding other things from me?" I said, frowning.

His smile widened 'Maybe.'

"I don't like your secretiveness but knowing that you can expand your mind is very useful to us. Congratulations on this secretive feat! Now let's start, I would like to heal! »
