His gaze softened on the other redhead at those words, and then he gave him a reassuring smile, "It's not an inconvenience."
Was it something he'd never done before? Definitely. The thing was, though, he'd seen other people doing stuff like this, back in Saeng Seong. He also recognized it as something that two people who...liked each other, did. Essentially, it was aiding in providing Luke with a cure for his doubts. A part of him still wondered about the extent of the ninja's feelings towards him, and he still couldn't help but question the entirety of his motives on that fateful night.
Luke gave an impressed blink at the mention of what White Mages could do, "Hey, that's a good thing! Being able to heal people's really important, you know," he said, and then continued with a light grin, "It likely means you'll have a lot of people coming to you, in the future, for help. Heh...better watch out, or you might become super popular!"
As for his own abilities, though, "Uh...apparently, I can use all sorts of magic. Ion said I'm kind of like a...'Jack of all trades', or something. I can wield a sword, while also using offensive and defensive magic. Right now I'm able to cast Fire, Blizzard, Water, Thunder, and Cure. I won't be specializing in anything, though. My magic skills will become mid-level, at best," he said, letting out a sigh, "Same for my sword skills."
The part about Gaara having confidence in his abilities had his face darkening, and then he quickly looked away. Reaching up with his free hand, he scratched at the side of his face, "A-ah...Well, I have a lot of faith in your abilities, as well, you know! You're really smart, so you'll have no trouble increasing your skills," he said as he looked back over to Gaara, face still red, "We should probably start training together, as soon as possible."
Anything to get the subject off of himself, really. Luke nodded at the question of whether, or not, he had something personal to ask, "Yeah. Actually...there's two things I wanna ask, though."
After watching Gaara, quietly, for a moment, he turned his head to begin looking around. The place was...considerably different from the other three worlds he'd seen. In spite of his being away from home for nearly half a year (in the time most people went by, as he'd now learned), he still dwelled on home, from time to time. Even with the distractions he immersed himself in, he still missed his friends.
Ion nodded to her words, giving her a tentative smile. He could only hope that he could make himself useful to Luke and the other heroes. Tilting his head, a bit, at her musing, he wondered the same thing. Maybe it was how humans showed their level of closeness. Blinking at her question, he responded in a curious tone as he took more cotton candy, "Kupo? Sure..."
He certainly didn't mind it -- he liked her. She was cute and friendly, and he felt comfortable around her. Eating the sweet, sugary substance, he glanced back over to Luke and Gaara. When she leaned towards him, he blinked over to her. Then, nodding to her question, he moved a paw to her nose and pulled the sticky substance off. Fortunately, it came off, easily.
"There you go, kupo," he said, while offering her a faint smile.
