Heavenly Juice is best Healing Juice [Tetsuko]

Of all the things Tetsuko Shindou had come to learn about how lover and childhood friend since their relationship had changed, perhaps the most surprising was Elise's fascination with firearms. The girl who, at one point, had been nothing short of a pacifist, interested in one of the deadliest weapons to ever be forged by human hands! Tetsuko didn't exactly get it first, and was a bit unsure how to feel. But once she'd seen how excited Elise was about the special military camp, treating it with the same adorable excitement as a kid who'd just learned the circus was in town, Tetsuko couldn't possibly decline. However, that was only one factor in her decision to attend the military demonstration, as was her natural desire to prove the effectiveness of Quirkers, her duty as the first Quirker in the Shindou line.

Indeed, there happened to be a third desire of the Shindou girl that chosen to attend this special military camp. As Elise protested, Tetsuko squeezed her lover's hand, explaining that it was about time they investigate the strange 'change' that Tetsuko's body had undergone as of late... Of course, as an adolescent, it was natural for her body to change and develop, but what Tetsuko had experienced recently was decidedly... Unnatural.

The body's ability to heal was an incredibly interesting aspect of its functions. One not at all exclusive to human bodies, of course, as almost all living creatures on the globe possessed some kind of 'healing factor', varying from species to species. A natural ability to repair damaged cells and generate new tissue, etc. etc. In humans, it wasn't entirely unheard of for this factor to become stronger in some individuals, but the healing that the Shindou girl had experienced recently was something entirely different. It occurred first during her training, as usage of her Quirk naturally resulted in superficial cuts. One of these same openings in her skin had, before Tetsuko's own eyes, healed in no longer than a minute, leaving behind only the faintest of scar tissue. Having explained this all to Elise, Tetsuko had wondered what her take would be, but decided that the more experienced pros would provide more accurate assessments.

Tetsuko's own theory was that it had something to do with her Quirk. It was really the only thing that she could think of that might make any part of her body 'unnatural'. Perhaps this enhanced healing was an adaptive mutation, something resultant from the constant slicing of her flesh that Tetsuko's quirk caused. Ultimately, only a professional look could confirm or deny anything, and Elise agreed that they should go get assistance from one of the doctors. "Yeah, hopefully, they can figure out what's happening..." Although the sudden change in her body was a little concerning, Tetsuko wasn't at all resentful of it... No, quite the contrary, it had proved exceedingly useful!

The camp was busy, with medical staff and researchers taking full advantage of the Quirker participation in this special military camp, particularly with students of U.A., perhaps the most diverse source of Quirked adolescents for them to experiment on. As they sought out someone to speak with, it would soon come to pass that a doctor would find them instead. With a raised brow, Tetsuko turned toward the voice, but noticed the smile on Elise's lips. This middle-aged doctor was someone familiar, evidently, and would soon clarify her relation to Elise. Tetsuko would squeeze Eli's hand a bit more tightly as the topic of her late father and comatose mother was brought up, before letting herself be brought in closer to Elise as she was introduced to Dr. Takamachi. "It's a pleasure to meet you, Takamachi-san." Tetsuko would say in a dignified tone, bowing her head in greeting.

The good doctor guided them further into the camp, somewhere quieter and a bit more private for them to address the issue at hand. Elise ushered Tetsuko to bring up the issue, which she did right away. "It's... To do with my body, Takamachi-san. Something has changed, unnaturally, and I wanna know if it has to do with my Quirk." Figuring it was better to demonstrate rather than simply explain, Tetsuko held out her hand, a small blade sprouting from her palm to pierce the skin, before retracting within. A very small cut was left behind, which immediately began to show signs of healing, right before their eyes! "I heal quicker... My Quirk lets me manipulate an excess of iron in my body, but this is something new entirely..." Tetsuko would look up to the doctor, wondering what their immediate theory might be... Obviously, testing would be necessary to make any concrete conclusions.

The doctor outright confirmed Tetsuko's suspicions right away, watching closely before admitting that this rate of healing was definitely unnatural. It was just as Tetsuko had thought, the rate at which her injuries closed was beyond that of the average person, beyond that almost any non-Quirked individual, she suspected. A strange and unexpected boon, but a boon nonetheless, and Tetsuko become increasingly curious to hear what the doctor's theories on this strange blessing might be. She had no clue what awaited her at the time...

Takamchi-san's first question was the most obvious one, seeking out some kind of genetic link. "No, neither of my parents had Quirks..." Tetsuko admitted. She was, as far as she was aware, the first Quirker of the Shindou line, and her father' side was similarly without any such oddities. The possibility of Tetsuko's quirk still developing also made sense, given her age, but it didn't seem to be in line with anything else her abilities allowed... Was this perhaps just some strange and rare mutation, an unforeseen blessing? Apparently not, as the good doctor, began to imply that the angel behind this gift was closer than thought.

"Physical contact... with a healing quirk? I... Y-Yeah, I guess I have been... Um, exposed, to Eli's Quirk a lot...." Tetsuko stammered out, her cheeks flushing up right away as the obvious conclusion came to mind. Could it really be? They had been engaging in a lot of... Contact... As of late, but to think that Elise's Quirk could cause a lasting change to Tetsuko's own body... "R-Right..." Tetsuko would respond as the doctor insisted tests could determine if this was certainly true or not.

The doctor continued her explanation, stating that they would be taking samples to determine if Eli's Quirk was at work within Tetsuko's own body. Takamachi-san's elaborated that it apparently wasn't unheard of for a Quirk like Elise's to create permanent changes in another's body, the ingested fluids adapting to the Quirk's power in strange and powerful ways... Well, Tetsuko certainly couldn't deny how Eli's kisses invigorated her, but to thank they'd have this lasting effect!

The light red hue that had taken over Tetsuko's face would soon intensify as the doctor continued to theorize. Tetsuko really did hope she wouldn't have to explain the full extent of her physical contact, all the gradually more intense kissing that they'd engaged in. But, then again, honesty with a doctor was important, they were trained professionals who had to know as much as possible, resulting in them quite easily asking some very embarassing questions!

"H-Huh?" The doctor's question prompted Tetsuko to turn scarlet up to her ears! "N-N-No!" Tetsuko stammered out, feeling Elise squeeze her hand tightly as the doctor continued on casually. Indeed, they hadn't gone that far yet, Tetsuko was hardly ready for their relationship to move so quickly! The most they'd had was some light groping through clothes, nothign more than that! The good doctor continued to be rather unprofessional as she so teasingly worded the potential cause behind Tetsuko's ability, though, it wasn't as though she was wrong!

Unprofessional antics aside, Tetsuko listened closely as the doctor described the testing procedure, nodding along with what was described, before being asked a small question. "Um, no, there wasn't much kissing before we came..." Sure, there were light pecks in greeting, but it was still early and they hadn't had much time for anything more intense (yet). The stipulation that there could be no kissing until the tests were done was surely going to prompt a response from Elise, however.

"If that's all you need to do to test it, I'm happy to follow your instructions, Takamachi-san." Tetsuko would utter with a grateful nod of her head, still blushing a bit from these revelations, but ever more curious to confirm if Elise von Eisenberg truly had left Tetsuko with a newfound blessing... [/font]

Pushing past all the natural awkwardness of her and Elise's relationship yielding such strange results, Tetsuko would comply with the doctor's orders, using the device as instructed to gather the saliva samples. The Shindou girl was already considering what the results of this test might mean for her... Exposure to Elise mutating Tetsuko's body was definitely not a foreseen development, and the swordswoman wasn't entirely sure what to make of it. She was hardly upset with the mutation, as it was an extremely useful asset to have, but there was no way to know if it might have other, more harmful side effects... Though, given the benevolence of Elise's Quirk, that could hardly be the case.

Tetsuko, as hard as she thought, couldn't really come up with any conclusion for how this could affect their relationship. All she could do was remain still and listen to the doctor, who seemed to be quite intrigued by the results gathered, which was either a good thing or a bad thing. Apparently, it was both, as Takamachi-san concluded that there was indeed parts of Elise's DNA within Tetsuko's own, displayed to the girl in as simplified a manner as the doctor could manage.

The Shindou girl remained wordless and stoic, a serious look on her face as she listened to what the doctor had to say. The quantity and concentration of Elise's 'presence' was relatively low for the time being, which explained why Tetsuko had only experienced the strang healing phenomenon when it came to small, superficial cuts and very minor bruises. More serious injuries did heal more quickly, but nowhere near at the rate of this lesser wounds. This wasn't exactly news, aside from Eli's involvement, but it did make things more clear to the young swordswoman.

There was a catch to these piece of information, which the doctor attempted to display with the monitor. This time, it wasn't so much an assessment of the current state, but another theory. That over time, the more Tetsuko is exposed to Elise's quirk, the more potent its effects will become, increasing Tetsuko's recovery ability exponentially... Tetsuko leaned back, eyes wide in shock as she thought over what this might mean. This was something new and strange, a change in her body that might get more and more intense as time went on... What possible effects could it have? Was there any way of knowing for sure? The doctor suggested that, if this was a concern, then they'd need to talk it over carefully, which definitely seemed to be the case.

A pause lingered in the air, and Tetsuko turned to Eli for a moment, opening her mouth to say something before the Germanic girl suddenly fled the room with flushed cheeks. "Eli!" Tetsuko called out helplessly. The good doctor recommended something that Tetsuko was already planning to do, to go and talk to the fair maiden about this unforeseen change that their relationship had brought about. "Right." The swordswoman said resolutely, turning toward the doctor and bowing her head in gratitude. "Thank you, Takamachi-san."

Rushing out of the tent, Tetsuko would find Elise only a short distance away, and approached her immediately. Tetsuko could only imagine how this might feel for Elise, but had already made up her own mind on the matter. Her lover's soft whispers fell upon Tetsuko's ears, and all she could do was smile softly at her girlfriend, a warm and comforting expression. "Eli..." Without warning, Tetsuko would lean in towards Elise, a hand caressing her cheek as the swordswoman pressed her lips against the other girl's, a mostly chaste yet also greedy kiss, one that parted a few moments later.

"You've always been changing me. This isn't any different." Indeed, Tetsuko had always been 'changed' by Elise, by her feelings. Although the alterations were, in this case, physical, what difference did it really make? "It's... A little frightening, but I don't regret recieving the blessing of my lady, of you. It hasn't hurt me, it's made me stronger. And if it ever becomes a problem, we can deal with it then." Truthfully, Tetsuko didn't mind one bit if any harm came to her because of Elise's blessing. Because that same blessing allowed Tetsuko to become even stronger for Elise's sake, that same blessing meant that Tetsuko could fight on through pain and bloodshed, suffering it all for Elise. And for a warrior serving her lady, what better blessing could there be?

Tetsuko could hardly keep he own lips away from Elise's when they were together, something she would never have the nerve to say aloud. Every time her lips pressed against the Germanic girl's, such warmth flowed through her, and electricity dancing along her skin. A pleasant excitement and deep contentment came with those acts, as chaste as they were, and Tetsuko had found herself becoming almost addicted to those moments, when the space between 'Elise von Eisenberg' and 'Tetsuko Shindou' broke down into nothing, when no words were needed to describe the way they felt towards one another, when they were of one body and one mind. Together and, most importantly, present. Every kiss was a testament to the then and now, and that meant so much to Tetsuko that some petty change like enhanced healing factor could hardly deter the young swordswoman from seeking her lover's lips.

If Elise was to corrupt her, so be it. Tetsuko had long since abandoned such thoughts that she belonged to herself, she belonged to the people she loved. Eli had every right to corrupt her, and Tetsuko had no desire to stop her from doing so. And that was as if one could even call this blessing a 'corruption'. From Tetsuko's point of view, it was nothing short of a blessing, a sign that only good things could come of the fact that every day, Elise was becoming more and more a part of Tetsuko. Her affection and her feelings blossomed within, and the flower that had bloomed gave Tetsuko even more strength to carry on. Should they someday find that it had a curse to it as well, Tetsuko couldn't care less. It was a small price to pay for more strength to honor her loved ones.

It didn't matter how Elise changed her, Tetsuko would accept it with open arms every time. After conveying this all to the Germanic, she responded in a typical manner, both arms rising to Tetsuko's neck and pulling her in for a passionate and hungry kiss, affectionate and powerful as a heat sparked within the Shindou girl, lightning sparking across her lips as they locked with the other girl's. Her greedy little princess could take as much as she like, and that's what Tetsuko wanted her to know. When their lips finally parted, Elise did scold the swordswoman some, warning her against using it as an excuse to overwork herself. "R-Right..." Tetsuko stammered out in a tone that made it all too clear that she'd already considered such a thing. Even with Elise's protest, the Shindou girl had a strong desire to utilize this ability of hers just for that... But those thoughts could bother her some other time.

Right now, she savored the look of joy on her girlfriend's face, clearly more pleased and comfortable knowing Tetsuko's honest opinion on the matter of her mutating body. Changes were natural when one entered a relationship, so they resolved not to treat this one any differently. As Elise proclaimed with all her usual confident affection that 'Sunshine shines the brightest because of the sun', Tetsuko smirked and lightly teased the girl. "Aye, that one's kind of obvious, don't you think?" But the Shindou girl would smile softly afterward. "But I know what you mean..." A greedy kiss was had, Elise was a gluttonous Sun it seemed, hungry for more as it embraced the sunlight that shone on because if it. The Germanic girl proclaimed this change an excuse for her to kiss Tetsuko, unsurprisingly. "Pff, what's new about that? You already take every chance to 'heal' me." Tetsuko replied with a small chuckle. It was funny how these little topics, once so embarrassing and uncomfortable, became simpler parts of their lives as they spent more time with one another.

Although Tetsuko's own investigation into her mysterious healing factor was only just beginning, they'd done all they could for the day, so Elise was naturally excited to get to her favorite part of this camp: The guns. "I wanted to check out the combat grounds and maybe the rescue area, but I can do that some other time with my class. Today, let's just do what it is you wanna do, so Armory it is."

The space between Tetsuko Shindou and Elise von Eisenberg soon became insignificant, as was typical of the times when their lips met. There was a myriad of different ways to describe the sensations. Like lightning, pure energy, eternal bliss, immutable warmth, and so on. But to Tetsuko, those moments were like an inferno. When they held each other, when they kissed, something in their hearts ignited and consumed their bones. They burst into fire, powerful and free, and let the flames have them. They allowed it to burn down all the space between them, the space between 'Tetsuko' and 'Elise', between 'want' and 'need', between 'now' and 'forever'. Maybe that was all they needed; to burn together, to know each other's love was so bright and untameable. And whatever was left of them when they were done burning away brought so much more into the world. Into their lives.

A simple kiss was not such a simple thing when you shared it with the person you loved.

Tetsuko let Elise take as much as she like, burn as freely as she wished as eternity passed. Eventually, the two girls returned to the Earthly realm, having left that strange separate place private to them, exclusive to their own passionate acts. Back in this world, Tetsuko soon found herself confronted with something that would likely persist as a problematic 'facet' of the Shindou girl. Even as Elise scolded her, the young swordswoman couldn't stop her thoughts from leaning a certain way. She still needed to use this asset, this blessing to its greatest. To get stronger, to become the protector she needed to be. To become the weapon she needed to be. Elise reassured Tetsuko, and even with her doubts and worries, the Shindou girl couldn't stop herself from smiling softly back at her lover. "... Of course. We'll keep growing, and I'll make sure you never lose sight of that light again..." The samurai promised.

I will be strong enough to cut down anyone that tries to take it away, I promise. Because I can't lose the only thing that I have left, I will hone this blade that I am to perfection...[/color]

Tetsuko Shindou had no intention of slowing down, of taking a break or going easier in herself. She needed to be better, sharper, stronger. Holding Elise ever so tightly, the Germanic girl's words only confirmed that for Tetsuko, as Eli spoke on about how deeply she trusted the swordswoman. "And it's my honor to have that trust... I won't let my princess forget that she's my medicine too." Tetsuko would reply, her cheeks flushed as she delivered her next words. "Besides... As your samurai, my heart is already your property anyway." Gods, she could hardly looke Elise in the eyes as she delivered such a sweet line, but to Tetsuko, it was nothing more than a truth. Eli was her princess, her lady. The one Tetsuko would fight for, live for, die for... That was what the Shindou girl had decided.

Their conversation, like everything else between them, flowed so smoothly, heading to lighter topics of 'healing' as Elise so greedily claimed her right to use whatever excuse she had to kiss the young swordswoman. Truly a greedy and selfish princess she was, and Tetsuko wouldn't have it any other way. "Well, if those are the doctor's orders..." Tetsuko would tease back with a shrug, their situation seemingly resolved for now as they decided to get on with the next matter: Spending time together at the special military camp. First on the agenda would be the armory, which Elise was already clearly looking forward to.

Adorably excited, Elise strolled along, guiding her lover towards the armory. The shooting range was full at present, but there was still plenty to keep Eli happy, the Germanic girl practically bouncing over to a nearby table full of all kinds of different firearms. Tetsuko couldn't help but raise an eyebrow, feeling slightly uncomfortable in this situation, being the swordswoman that she was. Nonetheless, Tetsuko would listen along to what Elise had to say, smiling warmly at her girlfriend's incredibly cute infatuation with this array of weaponry. Is it turned out, firearms had a variety of different ranges, which made enough sense. It wasn't too different from swords, each blade had its own purpose. Though, if Tetsuko had to compare the shotgun Elise was showing her to a weapon, she'd sooner call it similar to a kanabō than any blade!

Her brows raised, Tetsuko listened in awe as Eli described just how deadly the shotgun was, chuckling lightly before casually asking if Tetsuko any questions. "...How about how am I supposed to deal with that thing with a sword?" Tetsuko asked jokingly, though the question was genuine. A handgun could be dealt with enough skill, closing the gap while avoiding line of fire, but this was another story entirely!

"I thought swords were dangerous, but these things are way scarier..." Tetsuko mused, frowning slightly as she looked over the weaponry on display. Part of her old fashioned nature did have Tetsuko feeling a bit... Discomforted and displeased with guns of any nature. Even if they were historically a staple of many a samurai, the weapons of destruction before Tetsuko were so much... Deadlier. Easier to use, easier to kill with.

She quickly dispelled such thoughts, looking back to Eli with a smile. This was for her, and Tetsuko wasn't about to let her own opinions get in the way of her lover's enjoyment. "A-Anyway, what do you wanna show me next?" Tetsuko would ask, looking less forward to the guns themselves, and more so the sight of Elise so enraptured by a passion of hers. That was far more important than any reservations Tetsuko might have.

Knowing her words were behind the soft smiles behind Elise's lips was a certain comfort for the Japanese girl, making her realize just how important it was to protect that joyous and contented look of her lover... How important was to push herself to the point where she could defend it with ease. The more Tetsuko Shindou fell in love with Elise, the more she fell into that desire to shield, to put every part of her on the line for her dearest person, for the one who she'd given the rights to her heart. It was strangely hypocritical, how Tetsuko trusted Elise to treat her heart well, but cared little for how she ended up. Nonetheless, watching the love grow red in Elise's cheeks as she accepted the responsibility painted a similar smile on Tetsuko's own face, before it too became reddened by the suggestive little comment of the Germanic girl. "G-Geeze..." Tetsuko murmured with a furious blush. She really did expect Elise to respect her desire for a steady approach to greater intimacy, but that didn't mean the Germanic girl didn't make it very tempting to cross those boundaries! But, ultimately, it was a matter of readiness, and the fateful night where they were both ready was a separate matter entirely~

For now, Tetsuko just head to enjoy the more innocent time she had with Elise, who'd prescribed her a treatment of smooches and snuggles. A fitting medication, to say the least. Soon enough, they'd be in the armory, where Elise would continue gushing about the weapons on display. Though Tetsuko's question about how to deal with a shotgun using a sword has been mostly sarcastic, Elise entertained the idea nonetheless, talking about the potential of blocking a shotgun's blast with iron armor. "Armor, huh..." Tetsuko mused. She'd used shields before, taking inspiration from some European designs, but Tetsuko had never ventured into molding her iron into armor... It would take a very fine level of control, and would use up much of her 'resource', but it was certainly something to try out, particularly if it let her deal with something as destructive as a shotgun!

Tetsuko would nod along, thinking intently on the matter after Elise's continued explanation. "I get it, so it could be as simple as blocking and counterattacking... With the firm stances of Jikishinkage-ryuu, it could be possible..." Tetsuko would muse aloud, thinking to herself that this was definitely something to test out... If Elise didn't mind shooting her sometime... In spite of her aptitude for ranged weapons, it seemed Elise was just as deadly and skillful with her hands, as during one of her musings Eli suddenly decided to give Tetsu an unnanounced grop! "H-Hey! Don't just grab them when we're outside!" Tetsuko would scold, though the redness of her cheeks was hard to hide. Elise's suggestive little comments prompted a soft smile and smirk from the Shindou girl, reminded once again that the deadliness of a weapon was only secondary to its wielder... And there was nothing to worry about with such weapons in the hands of the infinitely kind Elise.

Or, perhaps, it was just the girl's brightness that hid her darker sides...

Elise already had plans on where to go next, it seemed, gesturing to somewhere where there were apparently experimental weapons and ammunition on display. "Sounds interesting. Lead the way." Tetsuko would say, looking with adoration at her adorable excited girlfriend. Who knows, maybe these experimental weapons might serve as some form of inspiration for other additions to Tetsuko's arsenal. For now though, that was a secondary goal; her primary goal being to enjoy this lovable girlfriend of hers as much as possible!

Tetsuko Shindou certainly had no doubts that Elise von Eisenberg enjoyed seeing her blush, as that was made more than evident by how often the Germanic lass was teasing the poor young swordswoman! Yet, even though Elise sometimes went a step too far or was bit too clingy, Tetsuko overall didn’t at all mind that seductive, side of her minx-like girlfriend. It was a sign that Eli was the kind of person to seek what she desired, the kind of person who Tetsuko really was entirely compatible with. Maybe it was that duality of theirs that had drawn them together in the first place, lord and lady united by fate to carry out one another’s deepest desires, whether they knew that was their destiny or not.

Truth be told, Tetsuko could spend days thinking about all the little intricacies of Elise and their relationship, but that wouldn’t exactly be time well spent. After all, it was better to experience those little quirks and oddities, to let fate play out as they’d decided it and enjoy the ride. Personal time investigating and indulging in each other’s personal interests, such as their little foray into the armoury, where Tetsuko was receiving an impromptu lesson on how to handle someone wielding a shotgun!

It wasn’t exactly the most casual talk, nor the kind you’d consider normal in any normal relationship, but the ironblooded samurai and Germanic gunslinger were far from normal. Tetsuko continued to nod along, looking deeply interested in Eli’s elaborations on how difficult it would be to block, given the width of the blast. ”An attack that’s impossible to dodge, that strikes the opponent in so many places at once…” She muttered mutedly, her mind drifting as she considered the possibilities… Was there any such technique with the blade? Could such a thing even exist?

Tetsuko’s focus on tactical thought would quickly be exploited by her girlfriend, who had a much more obvious reason for enjoying Tetsuko’s blushes: Elise von Eisenberg was, without a doubt, a pervert. Of course, the straight-laced Tetsuko protested, only to be teased right back, prompting her to recoil with a strong blush! ”Y-You know what I meant! N-Not in public…” Geeze, this minx really could be a handful sometimes… But the times when Elise occasionally stepped a bit far were entirely worth everything else, and besides, it wasn’t like Tetsuko was completely averse to her provocative lover.

Groping gripes aside, the pair would soon be headed to the experimental area, where Elise would be showing Tetsuko the new developments on offer. It was likely a good thing for Tetsuko to try and get inspiration from modern technology, given that her experience and proficiency with blades was mostly reliant an historical usage. She doubted there could really be many huge advancements with something as tried and tested as a ‘blade’, but she’d been proven wrong before. Tetsuko’s interest in modern interpretations of swordsmanship aside, for now she’d see what strides were being made in the world of firearms.

Ammunition was the ‘edge’ of a firearm’s ‘spine’, and would be the first thing Elise showed off. Listening attentively, Tetsuko would nod in approval and intrigue at the reveal of this non-lethal ‘capture’ type ammunition, that released an explosion of threads upon an opponent, like a long range chain or bola, not to mention the shockingly effective electric ammunition also on display. Tetsuko looked a bit uncomfortable at the mention of those, not at all liking the idea of being hit by one of them. She and electricity didn’t exactly get along.

As Elise turned to her side, Tetsuko was left smiling by the girl’s adorable resolution, and how these special ammunition types could benefit them both. ”Heh, so you plan on using all these, huh? Guess you’ll be pretty kitted out.” Tetsuko would say with a slight smirk, evidently becoming comfortable and cool despite this odd hobby. ”Though, it’s probably going to be a while before I can control my Quirk enough to be this safe…” The Shindou girl lamented, as she looked over the non-lethal ammunition while still keeping Elise close. It would seem her own advancement would have to come not through technology, but skill…

That wasn’t to say Tetsuko was jealous of Elise, no, not at all. Instead… She was feeling rather proud. ”Y’know… It’ll be pretty handy, having a marksman on my side…”
