I've had some difficulties with elemental abilities like that myself since I got here.

[ His mouth twists into an almost smile but now he's more just mulling things over. All their powers are blood-based and different blood provokes different abilities. ]

Everyone needs reassuring sometimes, love. It's only human. [ His expression takes on a gentle look at her explanation. Heart of gold, this one. ] I hope for his sake you're right about that. It'll still take time for him but moving in a positive direction is a start.

Yeah... I guess a lot of us are kind of having a hard time readjusting. I was kinda hoping with the waking world, there'd be less backfiring magic, not more. We'll figure it out, I guess. I mean, there's not really another option.

Yeah. Don't get me wrong, he's got a long way to go, but we called a little truce back in Deerington - you know, when things started going sideways, and he's upheld it ever since. It's all baby steps, but still progress.

Well in all of our defenses we did willingly wade out into the ocean with naught but one of our old captors to guide us and either a bit of a death wish or a lot of hope. Then we washed up here after being squids. Pretty sure there's an adjustment period for all that rubbish.

I don't think he knows much more than baby steps, love. He's got the mental age of a toddler told he couldn't have a sweet before dinner.

[Rubbish. It's a fairly accurate way of describing how this whole month has been going. Willow can't help a tired smile.]

Yeah. Maybe things will kind of go back to normal - okay, okay, what's gonna pass for normal here - eventually.

[The description of Maul as a temper tantrum throwing toddler gets a laugh from her.]

That's pretty much it, yeah. But at least he's showing that he can learn.
