{The scene in front of the 'Gear's lens when it comes on is a little unusual, to say the least.}

KIYONE! Put me dowwn, you no-good Psychic! {Nanao is dangling in the air. This isn't that unusual, except for the fact that it looks like she's been dusted with shimmer powder all over. That, and she seems to be mispronouncing her "w" sounds.}

I swwear to god, if you drop me in that pond I wwill flay you alivve, you bloody Alakazam--! {She's dangling over a deepish fountain in one of Saffron's parks. Seems her "v" sounds have also been affected. Despite being held firmly, she's thrashing about like her life depends on it (it doesn't, but she doesn't know that), once-black, now deep blue hair flying about all over the place.} You utter bastard, you knoww I can't swwim!

{Kiyone pays her no mind, and drops her in. She sinks like a stone.}

{Silence fills the park, and the surface of the water smooths to a glassy finish.}

{The 'Gear is promptly dropped, and the Blaziken who had been filming strides over to the fountain, peering in to the depths. Kiyone floats down beside her, trying to fish his trainer by Psychic means.}

{Suddenly, there's an almighty splash, and Kiyone gets knocked right out of the sky and onto the dirt by a very wet and very annoyed Nanao.}

I wwarned you--! {Cue a chase which is best visualised by listening to this song. Needless to say, it involves Nanao running around after Kiyone, spitting copious amounts of Bubbles at said Alakazam, and accidentally summoning a rainstorm, which shorts out the 'Gear. You're welcome.}

{OOC: Nanao has level one water powers, and rather resembles a Naiad. Shiny skin, blue hair, and a really low Attack stat. And E-Rank luck. Video replies will come ICly about an hour later.}

And yet she acted like I was the one who was going to hurt her if I approached. I doubt that's a response brought about by concern or worry, Ise.

[Severely doubts it. Even he has enough people skills to know that much...and that Charmeuse probably won't come out of there for a while. Oh, goodness...]

Against their own weaknesses? Not much can actually take care of itself. There's a reason people stress type advantages for battles here.

[And he kind of knows how she feels. The one time he had to deal with a fire user back home...urgh. That was not something he appreciated.]

.....considering you froze Kiyone solid, I'd say that maybe she's right to be concerned.

{Charmeuse will be... sneaking sneakily over to Kiyone. Psybro??}

Levels still play a big role in most things, you know.

Kiyone isn't a fire-type. I doubt it would work the same way on Hina. [No, there's something else about this. He just can't put his finger on the "what", exactly.

Kiyone should be fine, really! It wasn't any kind of killing blow! .....or at least, so Hitsugaya hopes, anyway.]

Perhaps, but that doesn't stop it from hurting if you're slammed with a weakness. Avoiding pain can make almost any living creature act oddly.

{She frowns, and kneels down next to him. Long sleeves in summertime = he's hiding something.}

Let me see your arms.

{Meanwhile, Charmeuse is veeeery carefully trying to melt the ice around Kiyone. 8(( psybroooo!!}

This is true.

[Have some blinking, Momthing. See his arms--oh, right. The sleeves. Fine, fine. He'll just be rolling them up now and...yep. Beyond fingers that are a rather fetching shade of blue, the skin up to his elbows seems to be frosted clean over, like fresh ice over a bed of snow. See? Sleeves were for a reason...especially since it's freezing cold to the touch, too.

He's...not saying anything. But you better not freak out on him!]

{She certainly pauses for a moment - surely she would have felt the cold? - and then rests her hand on his. Tiny ice crystals creep up from where she's touching him, but it doesn't feel painful, just cool.}

{Looking up at him;}

It's fitting, at least.

[Oh, good. She's not freaking out. That's a relief. No freaking out about this probably means she won't freak out about the bandages on his shoulder...probably. The ice on his arms wasn't the only reason he chose the long sleeve today!]

I suppose so. [looking at her hand and..yep. frowny face.] Your hand, Ise.

Wwater is resistant to Ice, Hitsugaya-kun. {Nevertheless, she lifts it, flexes her fingers, and watches tiny ice crystals fall away, melting back into the slick slime that coats her skin.}

No sense in taking chances. [Because what is ice but frozen water? He doesn't want to freeze her like he froze Kiyone, after all. Which is why he'll be rolling his sleeves back down now, ignoring the strain of healing skin and bandaging like a pro.] I doubt you want to end up like your Alakazam did.

Hm. {She looks over to where Kiyone is now mostly ice-free thanks to Charmeuse's careful efforts, and then back at him.}

Worse things have happened to me, I guess.

[He tilts his head at that; worse things have happened than being frozen, but...eh. Her luck can't be that bad, can it?]

Perhaps. But you should still avoid the Mareeps until this blows over.

[Because if last time was bad, this time? ...Whoo boy it wouldn't be pretty.]
