[ Matt can't help warming a little as Link turns to face him. It feels like doing something good, however small.
Link seems to regret his question immediately, turning--if not a 180 from it, then at least a sharp 90. Matt laughs. He's a little sheepish, but honestly nothing he feels now can be as embarrassing as swinging Byleth's dagger into empty air when no one was even close to him. He drags a hand absently through his hair, then offers Link a crooked smile. ]
I'll send up a flare, [ he promises. His hand drops, flipping palm-up: in his mind, it's dreamily easy to summon a kaleidoscope of sparking lights, all different colors. ] Like I said, I'm not a total damsel in distress. But I'm definitely better at things like putting up shields while other people do the hitting ... and slashing ... and burning.
