Well now that was some fire, and Nida met it all with a smile, unshaken by it. Something told him that if he delved into whatever magic is in Jacob, he'd fine fire spells, like with his own husband. And that made him glad.
Yuki deserved fire and passion.
"I was suggesting an evergreen because it's coming up on winter and the plant will survive the winter better, but do what you will. Including telling off anyone who would question you. Me especially."
With that he rose, tucking his hands behind his back in a posture that spoke only of military attention. And he was smiling.
"I know it might not mean anything coming from me, Jacob, but I'm proud of who you've become. There's so much strength and confidence in you now that wasn't always there before. I remember a man who questioned himself in relation to his family and the strength and weight of them. And what I see now is a man that is confident in who he is."
Though he smiled and tilted his head to Jacob, clearly taking note of the greater build the man had, not even fitting in Nida's coat.
"Looks like someone's already taken to training you. I'm not sure if my help would hinder you or not. But if you want a sparring partner, or to learn a new weapon, I'd be honored to have you back with me. Though I'll say this: I'll probably discourage you and Yuki from training at the same time. I've taught young people in love before. Sometimes they hurt themselves trying to impress each other, or they get distracted. I can do better by you both if you two are willing to agree to that, at least until Yuki gets to the point of skill where I trust him against someone else while he's holding live steel."
Because his healing magic only went so far, and he didn't want people hurt because he couldn't keep discipline. And it wouldn't be their fault. It was easy to get distracted when you watched someone you card for getting that... intensely physical.
