"Now don't you start into that "I'm not special" garbage, Keme!" Relm chastised lovingly. "We've been over that. You're special. Scholar's special. It's not about gifts, maybe not even what you do with them." She could kick herself for what she was bout to say, for it proved she had been listening closer to Rikku than Relm really wanted to admit. "It's like Blondie telling Romeo that without his colors he'd still be himself. You're you."
When did I get to be such an esteem bolsterer? ...When I fell in love. Relm chuckled at herself, snuggling into Keme slightly
"Besides, at least all of your skills are yours. Blondie's gotta change clothes to have access to many of hers."
"I heard that!"

Kaleb frowned a bit, he certainly never felt special. That wasn't to say he underestimated his talents, he knew well enough that he was very good at what he did. But aside from that, he was just unremarkable. Between his magic skill and his desire to heal and protect, what was left to define him?
The mage chewed on his lip a bit, not sure if he wanted to be delving so deep into the things that made him who he was, it was a confusing and almost distressing train of thought.

Keme blushed and his eyes grew wide when Relm reprimended him, but he smiled lovingly and leaned down to kiss her cheek in thanks. But he really didn't see anything special about him though.

Ignoring her sister Relm sighed. She was used to trying to dominate conversations, but running them all by herself was still something she was getting accustomed too. Smiling lovingly up at Keme she tried another route. "Look Scholar; what made you choose to be a healer? Why do you put your life into it?"

Again Kaleb ran his fingers down the edge of his book as he thought it over for a minute. "My father was a surgeon, and I wanted to be helpful and save lives too, b-but I-" He bit his lip, taking a deep breath before continuing. If these friends didn't know about his weakness, he really didn't want to mention it. "I-I d-didn't have what it takes to be a surgeon, a-and I-I accidentally discovered I had some magic skill, so that's why I'm a healer."

Naruto looked back and forth between the conversing Audio's, and then smiles, "Well, better you then me Kaleb, I would probably mix something up and then make that person worse!" he says, his tail swinging about.

"So you're a healer to help people?" Relm turned to raise a brow at her sister for saying exactly what she was going to. I'll let her talk... "That says a lot, you know. About you I mean. Not being in it for money or power or fame." Then Rikku giggled at Naruto & her sister tried not to roll her eyes as she suspected what was to come. "But mixing's fun, 'Ruto! Even when I get something totally wrong!!"
"Your "mix" skill isn't always a healing thing either, Blondie." "Well... yeah..."

Kaleb grinned sheepishly. "My spells don't always work so well the first time, they can blow up and backfire in all sorts of ways..." Certainly Miranda would have been able to tell Naruto about the hair incident, that had been rather embarassing.
His smile faded somewhat as he toyed with the edges of his book, giving some thought to what Rikku said. Money or fame through healing hadn't even crossed his mind, the first he had very little of until his new employment, and the second he would have been afraid to have anyway. Did that really say a lot about him?

"Really?" Both girls looked quite surprised. "I suppose that's because they need more finesse... though my painting can require a delicate touch & I've never had any troubles." Not the with magic part of it... The pictomancer looked thoughtful. "But then, I'm the only one able to do what I do. At least that I know of. There's no way to teach it probably because I just know how to do it somehow."
((moochi asked me to skip her.))

Kaleb blushed a bit at their surprised looks, and fidgeted. "Magic you learn in classes or from books isn't nearly as risky as researching and developing new magic spells. Sometimes the elements I find are dangerous, and sometimes they are too strong for me to handle." He smiled a bit. "But once I find the right element, I don't have to worry about it."

Naruto listened in and he couldn't help but to relate. He was pretty sure he couldn't teach anyone how to use one of his jutsus, unlike his Iruka-sensei....who was oddly enough was a Tala pup!
Keme also listened quietly, deciding he didn't really have anything to add at the time. He smiles softly though.

Relm sighed heavily. "Espers, Scholar! You're seriously making me think I need to advance myself with my magic! As if we need anyone else in the family blowing up workrooms with magical experiments like Fred & George do." The tone of her voice wavered between excitement, fear & frustration, never quite getting to the anger that the words alone conveyed. Rikku nodded with partially opened mouth, as if debating whether to come to the Weasley Twins defense or not.

Kaleb blushed a bit at Relm's words, her tone of voice confused him a bit. "I-I'm sorry... M-most mages don't do their own research, most don't need to, really. I-it's safer that way."

Naruto smiled, but then blinked as if remembering something, "Hey Rikku, did you wanna head back to your place and practice with my clones? Might have to eat first so I can have enough energy!" Naruto says with a smile, but blinking in confusion at Keme's snort of laughter.

"Wish we could convince those Weasley twins that, but they're insistent that no ones done what they want to be able to do."
The pictomancer's face went from s look of thoughtful concentration to wide-eyed-guffaw in a matter of seconds at the shinobi's unexpected -& clearly clueless- suggestion. Rikku's response did not help Relm's control any. "Booyah! Sure! I bet Ginny's got something cooked up! Or I can make ramen for you!" Swirling green eyes danced as the Al Bhed hopped eagerly & clapped her hands.
"We'll be seeing you guys around?" "Yes." Seeing her sister's worried look Relm dipped her head to hide the look of laughter in her eyes & appear sheepish. "We'll be okay. I promise I'll at least stop in one of our houses before nightfall. No getting sick again." Rikku watched her sister a moment before accepting the reassurance.
