[Charging towards the knotted roots, the rest of the vines are quickly trying to regrow. However, there's a lack of Chroma between herself and Gumshoe that impedes the attempt. Raising her arm and swinging, the acid splashes upon the knot with a hiss and plenty of flailing. It doesn't completely expose the core, but if Gumshoe can aim, he could hit it.]
[He moves right in her footsteps and is fully prepared to play out his part! He watches as the acid lands, and the knot writhes. Now it's his time.]
As they say... 'fire'! [With that totally cool one-liner, Gumshoe tries to aim directly at the core, and fires! He might not use his gun often, but he's still had enough target practice that he might just nail it!]
[Would it hit, would it miss? What would happen in those few seconds of the torch blasting the core. Would it be enough? Would it only incise the plant?]
[But with a squeal, fluttering vines, and pop, the core ruptures beneath the fire. The vines once tethered securely around it still, shrivel, and proceed to falling apart. What doesn't drop folds, and what was so close to the core catches and burns.]
It's fine. It should help restore some of your energy.
[Gripping his hand, she too felt a boost to her dropping energy levels. Huh, she should probably locate a gym after this incident subsided; get back to some routine exercises.]
Hey now, my memory might not be perfect, but no way I'd forget something like that! [An elephant never forgets.]
Whoa! That's unbelievable! You have another part of yourself that's twice your size and fights for you?? I know spirit mediums exist, but this sound like a whole nother ball game!
Hm, I suppose seeing something like that would stick out in your mind.
Yamato-Sumeragi isn't that tall... well, comparatively to some of the others. Anyway, I don't exactly recommend learning how to do this. Only in special circumstances can trouble be circumvented... though, what's this about spirit mediums?
[Well, he seemed larger than life to Gumshoe. He'll accept not learning how to do this. He already has himself set on learning magic from Taako eventually.]
Oh... y'know, spirit mediums. Where I come from, they're the real deal. They channel the spirits of the dead! Is it like that in your home, too?

Got it. We'll just have to take our best shots, pal!! Here we go!
[He's all pumped up now and ready for action! He'll follow Naoto's lead - and be ready to follow up on her acid with some fire!]

Good. That's one down.

Whooooop! We did it, pal!! [But then he needs a moment to catch his breath, as he's starting to feel tired out.]
no subject
[Of course, there was still plenty more work to be done.]
no subject
Thanks. I couldn't have done it without you! You really got some skills for someone your age, pal. So that's one part of the problem down...
no subject
One problem... Do you still have the energy to go on?
no subject
[Then, he... tries to pump himself up to go on! But he is a bit drained.]
I... I'm sure that I do! ...Pretty sure...!
no subject
A few seconds of contact should fix that.

It's really workin', pal! I'm starting to feel all pumped up!

We'll give it a few more seconds before moving on.

So while we're charging up... Can you tell me about your not-so-little friend now?
no subject
[But her didn't... she'll have to keep that in mind.]
You could say that was me - another part of myself anyway - that I can call upon for certain combative purposes.
