[he nods...]

... I can't say anything for sure until it happens, but I might have a solution.

Are you planning on switching elements?

[ he laughs outright ]

And lose my brand? You kidding?

Was that blasphemous? My apologies.

Pretty sure people wouldn't recognize me if I started using something else. Loss of identity an' all that.

I don't know about that. Your hair is still very distinctive.

Yeah, I like to stand out.

[ he says. like it doesn't just grow like this somehow. ]

Well, congrats. Getting stabbed in the middle of trial made you stand out quite a bit.

... That's not really the kind of standing out I'm talking about.

[he just smiles.]

What plan were you thinking of?

Any of them where I don't get stabbed.

I mean about Shirasu.

I'll tell ya if it pans out.

Should I be concerned?

Nah. Worst case scenario, I get a no.

If you say so. Do be careful.

Promise I won't get stabbed.

Don't make Emma worry too much.

[ -- he flushes a bit at the call out but laughs ]

I'm not trying to.

I'd question the nature of your relationship if you were.

[ he's dying, shess? he's dying. ]

Well... I'm not. So don't question it.
