[Flayn looks delighted.]

How useful! So is all of your clothing made like that?

[givethemhell]

Naturally! Though not everyone utilizes it in the way it should be.

[SOME PEOPLE are just BORING and carry like, a money pouch and that's it.]

[fishingforcompliments]

I wonder who first came up with the idea? I have not seen such clothing where I come from...

[givethemhell]

Haven't the faintest, to be honest. I don't often pay much mind to that sort of thing.

[He'd wear a potato sack and be like "hell yea" about it.]

Anyway! Incantation first, or talisman? Whichever you'd like!

[fishingforcompliments]

...the incantation. The sooner I hear it, the longer I will have to memorize it.

[givethemhell]

Mm, alright then. Listen closely!

[i don't know ancient fantasy chinese but that's what he's speaking as he recites a short, two-line incantation.]

[fishingforcompliments]

...

[she tries to repeat it back to him but let's be real she probably bungles the tones]

[givethemhell]

[AS EXPECTED. He just grins, nodding along.]

It's a hard language for people to speak if they haven't grown up with it, I've found! But that's a good start.

[He'll repeat it again!]

[ATTEMPT NUMBER TWO.

it's a little better than the first! ...but even she can tell that it isn't quite right. She launches into attempt number three.

And she'll keep at this until she gets it right. She's stubborn, dang it.]

[givethemhell]

[SHE SURE IS. 10/10 he approves of stubborn people. When she's closest to getting it right, however short or long that may take:]

Ah! There, that was almost it! Pitch your enunciation of that fifth word up just a bit more and lower the tone of the two after it and that's just about perfect.

[fishingforcompliments]

Yes..!

[SHE'S GOT THIS.

one more attempt, and she actually gets the incantation right!! yay!!]

[givethemhell]

[HE BEAMS and gives her a thumbs up because fortunately he hasn't caught the finger guns craze yet.]

That was wonderful! Haha, you're a quick learner.

[fishingforcompliments]

[unfortunately, she has, so she finger guns back at him]

Thank you! You make an effective teacher.
