Farah arched her eyebrows. "I don't know what exactly you were doing, but it wasn't sparring."

"It's our version of sparring! We've done this since we were just kids!" Aiki insisted, and Eiji nodded. "Yeah. You can't be a good hero if you can't take a bit of a beating."

Farah laughed again and lowered them to the ground. "Carry on then."

Both twins grinned, a little bit too eager to beat each other up, and immediately tackled each other again. Their mother looked out the window and noticed them, but didn't do anything to stop it. This was pretty regular behavior for Aiki and Eiji to release some excess pent up energy, after all.

Farah watched them for a moment, then she sat down and closed her eyes. For a moment. Just for a moment. She pretended that she was back in Alfea.

Eventually, both Aiki and Eiji were exhausted and were just collapsed in the grass, panting. Eiji had some scratches on his cheeks and neck, Aiki had a bloody nose, and both of them were pretty disheveled, but neither seemed particularly bothered.

Farah opened her eyes. "Have you two quite had enough yet?" she called out.

"Yeahhh…" Aiki replied, rolling onto his side and rubbing at his nose, which smeared blood across their face. "I guess we should get cleaned up now…"

Farah motioned with her head. "Alright, come on."

It took a bit, but both of them managed to get to their feet and headed inside with Farah to deal with their injuries. Nothing looked too serious, at least.

Farah sighed. "What is wrong with you two?" she asked. Her eyes glowed silver-blue, and she pressed her thumb to a scratch on Eiji's face to cauterize the wound with fire magic.

Eiji winced and whined at the touch, turning his ears back. Aiki shrugged, grabbing a napkin to hold up to their bleeding nose. "It's kinda what we do at this point. It's fun."

Farah arched her eyebrow, moving her thumb gently across Eiji's face to another cut. "Whatever you say…"

Aiki yawned, still holding up the napkin to try and stop the bleeding. Eiji was quieter now, but he clearly wasn't enjoying the process.

"Aiki, go lay down with your head tilted up to get that bloody nose of yours to stop," Farah said. "Last one, I promise," she told Eiji, touching a slightly larger cut on his forehead.

"Fiiine…" Aiki did as they were told, heading over to the couch to lay down. Eiji closed his eyes, wincing when Farah touched his forehead.

"Sorry," Farah murmured, cauterizing his wound as gently as possible. "How does it feel?"

"Mmnh… I think it's okay." Eiji gently touched the wounds and winced again. Aiki was still on the couch.

Farah lowered her hand and smiled. "All done." She walked over to Aiki and looked down at them. "Can you feel it slowing?" she asked. "Or even stopping."

"Uhh… I think it's getting better?" Aiki shrugged, keeping the napkin to their nose even though they'd bled through it by now.

Farah retrieved another napkin and held it to Aiki. "Swap me?"

Aiki allowed Farah to take the bloody napkin and accepted the new one with a soft sigh, leaning his head back to try and stop the bleeding quicker.

"You do realize that we wouldn't be in this situation right now if you both didn't insist on beating each other senseless for fun, right?"

Aiki shrugged. "It's all part of the experience. And Ei's a healer, so it's not usually that big a deal." They yawned and closed their eyes.

Farah shook her head. "I wouldn't know. I never had a sibling."
