"Please!" she agreed with a laugh, backing out of the way again until she spotted something else she could help with. "I'm planning on taking up the Blue Mage job, and dragons have that Black Meteo ability. So I've got to be tough enough to stand up to it, survive the attack, and then defeat it."

Which she would, come December.

"I've got my strategy in mind already," she said, her palms slowly spanning apart over an invisible map in the air. "If I go in with Blue Mage and Bard, I can use the Spoony Bard ability to go invincible when it unleashes the attack. It guarantees I can withstand whatever happens. Then once I've got the skill, I can use it right back on the dragon! What do you think?"
