[ They kept meeting only in Dreams to the point one could doubt the other exists at all. Spiritual guides were a thing, it's a funny story Waver, you gotta ask about it one day.
For now, Caster just sends Rider a V.Flat Look. Seriously? Probably shouldn't be that surprising, but... still. ]
...right. You know, get over here. I'll show you how and you'll give me a helping hand. [ He picks a vial of dark, sludgy substance. It's ink, but not charged with magic, so it lacks colours and glow of the one Caster is currently using. He'll hand it to Rider as he gets close. ] Keep it in your hand and just focus your will on it. As if you were trying to warm it up with your thoughts.
[ It's not the most scientific way of explaining magic, or process of pouring it into something. But he trusts Rider to eventually figure it out, and once it clicks- charging runes is exactly the same process. The fact that ink absorbs energy easily like a sponge, makes for a good practice item.
Sadly it's time to start inking again, but as he turns to Waver he explains. ]
Just checking. You're doing really good so far, but I have to keep a close eye on the dose. You're on the small side kiddo, so I imagine the risk of fainting is higher. [ See Rider?, this tattoo is a Big Deal, respect your Master- or Caster just fucking with you both for laughs. ]
