AuRon the champion

If:

Arden mournfully waved goodbye as Aeolus walked away.

Many hours, one room, and. A book later, and Arden and Aeolus lay back, exhausted from expending all of their elemental powers in one go.

"When you said you wanted something steamy, I didn't know you were suggesting actually using our power to make a steambath."

"Best. Elemental power. Ever."

Ic:

Arden forced him to walk back, face red and steam embarrassingly rolling off her body.

"... He wants to- read that stuff. Among other things now..."

Ic:

Aeolus tried walking away to find said books.

"W-wait! Aeolus! M-manners!"

Ic:

"I like the sound of that... I can do steam..." Aeolus mused.

Arden blushes and facepalmed.

Ic:

They paused to think about it.

"... I like reading."

"I can read."

Ic:

"We're a mentally unbalanced fusion of two toa who horrid control over our elemental power and no usable mask power," Arden observed.

"That, and despite her appearance, Arden isn't as smart as she looks."

And that was how Skyra saw someone slap themself in anger, both Arden and Aeolus recoiling in pain from Arden's slap.

Ic:

"We were just following Mari..."

Ic:

"A bunch? I don't know. There was one that was making everything dark..."

"We couldn't even kill one!" Aeolus lamented.

Ic:

"... We were in mangaia, and we fought some rankshi..?"

Ic:

"We almost died while having around the Maru at the Kink-Nui. And we met some people... From another island," Arden said, after a pause to think about all they've done.

"Turns out, we can't agree on anything!" Aeolus exclaimed, starting to grumble beneath his breath.

IC:

"Time off to sort ourselves out. It hasn't worked."

Ic:

Arden intervened.

"He's confused. We both are. Difference is, he's the one trying to yell about it," she said, folding her arms and frowning, "To be honest... I really don't know how to deal with this either... It's all really... I don't know how to- how to respond..."

Ic:

"Really? Because you're not half in control of someone's body. You don't have to think back, and can't figure out if it's your memories, or the memories of the person you're stuck with! I didn't ask for this, or want this! I was just testing out a cool mask that was given to me, and the next thing I know, I'm stuck in this woman's body. Something that doesn't bode well with me. At all."

Ic:

"Like what? We tried setting rules, but he keeps breaking them!"

"Not my fault you're such a sometimes..."

"See what I mean?"

In response to Turo's question, Aeolus extended his palm and created a cloud of warm steam, which he sent at Turo.

"That's how, dumbass."

"Aeolus!!"

Ic:

"Yes... He is."

"All I'm trying to do trying to enrich our lives. You just need to pull the stick out of our ."

If:

"However, being in the same body as her allows me to see all her little... Secrets."

Arden blushed intensely.

Ic:

"We've tried. The worse part is, according to the doctor we saw, our spirits are fused, not minds. We're not even sure if... It's possible..."

Ic:

"All the time. All of the freaking time. You know what? He makes another lame joke, feel free to try to murder us. Maybe then I could get away with him."

"When they said, "till death do us part", I don't think they literally meant it..."

Ic:

"You have no idea. He still desires me, even though we're spiritually fused together, and stuck in the same body!"

"You could say we're... Inseparable."

Ic:

"Ah."

"Hey, I just want to put out that surprise sex change is probably better than dying, but it's worse being stuck in a body that you can only control half the time!"

"I'd let you control more if you were nice, and weren't trying to seduce almost every woman we meet!"

Ic:

"ew. Nevermind then," Aeolus remarked.

"Thank you for saying that. He's going to be mentally beating himself forever now," Arden said with a nod, "I apologize, what was your name again?"

IC:

"You too?"

Ic:

"Iden."

Ic:

"Yes. We're two different people. Different genders. Different personalities. Same body."

Ic:

"Awesome, we're squared now. I'm Aeolus," he pointed to himself. He paused for a moment to put his hand at his side again, before adding, "oh right, and this is Arden. Say hi."

Arden grimaced and said, "try to ignore him. He's just trying to impress you."
