[This officially sucks.
Being found passed out in the ground was humiliating enough. But that's not the worst thing that's happened. Machina realized what happened almost the moment it happened. His magic has been severed. No, not just his magic, all his powers. Like when the crystal jammer was deployed in Rubrum, but worse. At least then he could tell the Crystal was there, but he was being prevented from drawing on it's radiance to cast. This? This feels like it's been cut out of his soul.
He doesn't plan to tell anyone. Not his friends, not his brother. No one.
However, it's not difficult to miss that Machina is being weird. Well sure, Machina being weird is like a day ending in -y. His behavior though is especially strange. He got hauled home with gouges in his wrist and a blast hole in his shoulder. Yet, he hasn't healed those for himself already? And that's just when he's home. He seems to avoid it as much as he can, except to check on his birds and sleep. When he can be found at the house, he is standoffish, curt, grumpy. But... isn't that just his default?
When he's not at work, and avoiding home, Machina's picking up every stray bit of side work and tasks that are available, with a hitch: nothing combat focused. That's particularly off. The guy fancies himself some kind of fighter, and is more than a little hot-headed.]

[She smiled as she patted his arm.]
Why, I'm not dangerous at all, now am I? And you like me just fine, don't you?
no subject
[He'd argue that sure it's okay not to be dangerous, but he can't make the words come. Because he feels powerless. Is powerless right now and it's horrifying to him. A low rumble of the earth settles in under their feet. a sure sign that he's more afraid than angry. Lack of fire around is a good hint too.]
We should get you inside.
[Machina is the one injured (and now exhausted), but she's the one he's worried about.]

[She smiled as they entered her home, the two bears in question looking up when they heard their names but she lifted up a hand, assuring them that everything was fine.]

[If anything, a nap sounds exceptionally wonderful now that there's the prospect of crashing for a little while.]
