[Magic was hard... Mikasa didn't know if she'd ever get her head around it. Maybe if she lived for hundreds of years here like Eren had mentioned a fae could.
From what she could tell it was some part belief, some part knowledge. You had to have a good idea of what you wanted to do. Her illusions. She could craft them, but only simple ones. The moment it went beyond her creativity was the moment it started to flop.
Though for the time being, her antenna flexed. The healing, it didn't feel bad, just strange. Enough to make her leg give a twitch. Kind of itchy? But then again, weren't scabs kind of itchy? If he was healing then that would just be speeding up the normal process right? So it made sense, even if it made her lips purse a little. Must not itch...]
I think it's working...
[It didn't hurt so??? She couldn't check because of clothes.]
[ Some magic was definitely hard, and Sougo is impressed by the native Witches who have dived deeply into their particular fields of study. Even if he has an affinity for certain types of magic, it's not likely that he'll ever be as skilled in those areas as the masters who have been studying for years.
He doesn't plan to stick around long enough to really pull that off anyway. When the opportunity to go home arises, he'll be heading back in a heartbeat. It's not like he has a particular pleasant situation to return to himself, but it's an important one that he can't abandon forever.
For now though he can do things like this by helping out friends when they need it, and enjoy life for a little while longer.
Sougo looks pretty excited at the prospect of his magic actually working too, and grins widely at Mikasa, before looking back down at his hands. ]
[Mikasa meanwhile was frowning a little, then prodding at her leg. About mid-thigh, where she'd indicated and where he was healing. Eyes narrowing at her own pokes.]
I think it is? The...shell around it isn't moving.
[That was a good sign, wasn't it? It'd been like ice before. That one hole weakening the rest enough for pressure to make it creak and crack. Hence why she'd been given crutches, to keep the pressure off.
And with that, she looked up at him. Eyes creasing shut in an attempt at smiling.]
[ He watches her intently while he keeps that magic aglowing, face brightening a bit as she makes that comment. ]
That's good, right?
[ He's not really sure if shells are supposed to move or not, but he's assuming the answer is no. Besides, he thinks that's some kind of happy expression from her (maybe), and that's pretty exciting too! Mikasa doesn't seem like the kind of person to smile that often!
That or they've had a very rocky friendship since their first meeting, and he'd like to think that isn't the case. ]
It's not bending inward again... [Which meant it wasn't weakened and at risk of bleeding again.] Thank you. [A rarity, manners and a smile. Feel blessed.]
Are you learning to be a healer then? I wanted to do that... [But fae..]

Does it feel like it's healing?

Huh? Uh... Not exactly.
[ Sougo looks down at the leg, still keeping the magic going. ]
I don't think I'll ever be that good at it, but it seemed like a good idea to at least learn this much.
[ You want a flesh wound healed? Sougo has you covered. You want anything more complicated? Go to someone else... ]
