"Actually, he doesn't hurt as much as he used to. There was a time when he was a lot bigger than he is currently." Crona explained.
"I could still be that big if you'd let me eat some souls!" Ragnarok whined. Crona responded in turn with a sort of glare, but it wasn't all that threatening. So Ragnarok just stuck his tongue out in defiance.
"Anyway... it was a lot more painful for him to appear and disappear when he was bigger. Since my friend Maka helped me out a while ago, he shrunk. His sword form shrunk too, though... and he used to be able to take a dragonish form-"
"Something I could do again if you'd let me eat souls." Ragnarok quipped. Crona once again bonked Ragnarok on the head, and the demon sword grumbled in annoyance. All of this annoyance just to get one explanation out!
"But like I said, he's not able to do that now that he's smaller." Crona finally finished. "He does help, though." he added after a moment.
"Only with the black blood thing. I can make his blood harden so he doesn't bleed to death, something that weakened me a lot recently, and I can make his blood form weapons. Mostly needles. I'd demonstrate, but I don't think wimpy is in the mood to show off his black blood." Ragnarok added. Not that Ragnarok was in the mood, though. Even if he acted like he didn't care about Crona, he didn't want to weaken the kid more by needlessly showing off what he could do with Crona's blood. "Don't ask about the blood thing. It boils down to Medusa melting me down and replacing Crona's blood with me. It's how we got... stuck with one another." Ragnarok explained.

Silver's face was subtle shock. Completely shocked. How was one woman supposed to do this to crona? It was now starting to make silver get uncomfortable with this woman and feel slight resentment but he nodded to crona and ragnarok simply saying "Powers and being together huh? Seems very different from what I'm used to but I'll understand it soon enough"

"It's a basic weapon and meister thing... but usually weapons aren't so... attached to their meisters." Crona said after a moment. He cringed inwardly. Mothers weren't supposed to be cruel. They were supposed to be there for their children. Medusa hadn't ever loved him, and he knew that. It was obvious when she had put Ragnarok inside him. "So... Ragnarok and I aren't your typical weapon and meister pair." he added.
"Blame Medusa. That witch did this to me, and I hate it! I don't want to work with Crona, but noooo. All because she wanted to experiment and wanted to make herself a kishin I got stuck with him! Rarr! If I ever see her again, I'm going to... to... gah! I don't even know!" Ragnarok was truly irritated now. Of course, he knew Crona would never be bold enough to seek Medusa out. It was because of that, plus desperate urging from Ragnarok himself, that Crona had sought help from the agency in the first place.
...Well, 'desperate' probably wasn't the proper word. Ragnarok had been freaked out and was afraid Crona might have been killed if they didn't. Truth be told, Ragnarok worried more for his meister than he let on. "Point is, it's because of her we're in this mess. All the more reason she needs to die." Ragnarok stated.

Silver couldn't help himself he let a growl come in his throat. This woman was making him more and more angry. He was now feeling hatred and the need to avenge crona and his cyborg eye was now glowing red instead of golden. He then mumbled some swearing and used medusa's name and then breathed and tried to smile but to no avail "Sorry about that lad. This woman should be put in jail or better yet I'd make amelia do something to her to make sure she regrets what she did to ya"

Crona didn't respond immediately, admittedly freaked out by Silver's sudden change of mood. Trembling died down after a few moments, and he met Silver's gaze with wide, if just a tiny bit fearful, eyes. "Y-You really think you could do that?" Crona asked. Medusa was tricky. Very tricky. If she could get to Stein, one of the strongest meisters at the DWMA, who was to say she couldn't get to Silver in some way? It worried Crona. He didn't want Silver turning on him. Then again, how could he? There was no insanity of the kishin to worry about at that moment. No one would be going insane any time soon.
Ragnarok, on the other hand, was intrigued by the mood change. It seemed the pirate really did want to protect them after all. That was good enough for Ragnarok, even if the two of them didn't seem to get along. "Hey, if you could somehow get Medusa in jail or maybe kill her that'd be great. We just don't want to have to worry about her anymore." Ragnarok said.

Silver first responded to crona who trembled and silver mentally swore to himself not to burst out like that again. Crona didn't need to see it and he did today for now though he'd try to stop and he gently nodded "I think I can lad. That woman shouldn't get away with this at least I won't let her. If she'll attack me and try to kill me instead then fine but I won't let her get to you so she can do things like this to you again"
Responding to ragnarok was somewhat different he used a casual tone knowing that ragnarok was more brave about the problem "Don't worry you won't have ta. I'll make sure she regrets I'm crona and quite frankly your protector this is what I'm supposed to do"

"Good. We'll just leave her to you then. That means no more trying to sacrifice yourself, okay Crona?" Ragnarok asked harshly. Crona flinched visibly at Ragnarok's words. He knew all too well what his partner was referring to. Almost dying to protect Maka. It had taken a huge toll on both of them physically, but particularly on Ragnarok. "I can't have you doing anything else stupid that might get us killed." Ragnarok added bluntly.
"Okay, I get it Ragnarok." Crona murmured. "You can stop being so blunt, you know. I don't know how to deal with you being so blunt all the time." he stated.
"Look, I just don't want to risk you almost dying again. You know what that did to me. I can't do that again!" Ragnarok snapped. "Just leave finding and bringing Medusa to justice to Silver. That's his job, after all." he said once he had calmed down just a bit. Crona nodded slowly at that, but didn't meet either Ragnarok or Silver's gazes. He couldn't help it if he had wanted to help. He murmured an apology, and Ragnarok seemed appeased by it. "Yeesh. I just hope you can do something about Medusa soon. The sooner you do, the less likely it'll be that Crona might try to use himself as a shield if he sees you in trouble." Ragnarok stated, keeping his attention on Silver.

Silver patted crona on the shoulder and said to ragnarok gently "That's because he cares for people but you do have a point the last thing I want is for crona to get hurt meself" Silver then looked at the boy again and said "I know that you may wanna help lad but it'll help me if you defend yourself first"

"I'm sorry... I just want to help. I know it won't do any good in this situation, since you're the one that needs to be protecting me, I just don't want to see my friends hurt." Crona explained. He especially didn't want to see someone hurt on account of him. That was the last thing Crona needed. Ragnarok, for once, seemed appeased by that response since he didn't say anything in response. "I guess it's just an impulse. I don't like seeing people close to me hurt." Crona said after a moment, though that comment was spoken in a quiet tone.

Silver nodded understanding the tone and said "Neither do I lad but jumping in there rashly ain't gonna help and no need to apoligize. You're just bein' you" Silver then again patted crona's back gently to ensure him

"You're right. I just wish there was more I could do to help you." Crona said. ...He could provide information on Medusa, couldn't he? He knew more about her than anyone. Not that he knew any weak points or anything like that, but Crona could offer information to Silver if he needed it. "Actually, maybe there is something I could do. I know I probably don't need to say it, but I know a lot about Medusa. Maybe I could... give you information about her? Like her fighting style... and things like that." Crona suggested.
Ragnarok opened his mouth to comment on how stupid the idea was, but he stopped himself as he thought it over. It actually didn't sound like that bad an idea. "Actually, that could work. If he knows more about his target, she should be easier to deal with." Ragnarok stated at last. Crona nodded in agreement. That was what he was going for. He didn't want Silver to have too hard a time against her if it did come down to fighting her. Crona knew it would sooner or later, but that didn't matter for the moment.

Silver pondered about that. It could really help and part of him wanted to get to her weak spots so he smiled and said to the boy "Well you can tell me her weakest spots to hit and her fighting techniques and also tell me what pisses her off if ya know what I mean lad" He gave a wink but then gave a serious face

"Weaknesses are difficult to pinpoint on Medusa. I can say with certainty, though, that she isn't invincible." Crona decided to start with that. "I... I'm not really certain if she has a specific weakness." he admitted after a moment. He had never been certain if Medusa had any real weakness. She was difficult to get close to in that way, anyway. Especially for Crona. He wasn't sure of where to go from there, and so paused for a moment to think.
"Her strategy in battle isn't anything special. She has two variants of attacks, namely Vector Arrow and Vector Plate." Crona said. "Vector Plates she can use to send you flying in any direction she feels like sending you. I... know all about this." he murmured. That had been Medusa's preferred way of quite literally sending him to his room when he displeased her as a child. "Her Vector Arrows are more dangerous. She can use them to stab her opponents, and can use more than one at a time. It's best to watch out for them." he explained further. He even had the scars to prove just how dangerous Medusa could be. Crona didn't feel the need to show them, though. What had happened to him didn't need to be retold as far as he was concerned.
"Not to mention those thousand snakes she has control of." Ragnarok added. "She can implant them in anybody if she wants, and use them to either kill an opponent from the inside or make the person do whatever she wants and keep a telepathic connection with them to communicate with. Pretty handy, but I don't think that's something you want happening to you." the demon sword stated. "But, basically those magical snakes inside her are what allow her to even use the Vector Arrows at all." he said, realizing that Crona hadn't explained that part.
Lastly, what irritated her. Crona knew one such thing for certain. Himself. "As for what pisses her off... you're looking at the very thing that does so a lot of the time." Crona murmured. "Beyond me, I don't know what really irritates her that much. ...Except for my friends. She's not fond of them." he said. She especially wasn't fond of Maka. Crona was just glad that Maka wasn't present. At least, he hoped she wasn't.

Silver listened with great interest and smirked at every detail except for the last one. Crona pissing medusa off was way beyond silver's point of view and quite frankly that put a pang of pity and gulit towards the boy. Silver said while sighing "Quite a nasty siren from the sounds of her voice" Silver then clarifyed to crona "That meant she's a nasty woman from the sound of it lad just a sayin' I do"

"You can say that again." Ragnarok said. "She ain't easy to please, and she's mean as can be. That's Medusa for ya." Ragnarok stated, closing his eyes and shrugging a little as he spoke. "Not that her sister or minions are any better, but that's another story for another time." he added. He wasn't about to go into detail about Arachne or anyone else associated with Medusa. Too time consuming in the demon sword's opinion.
"The fact that she wasn't able to kill me the last time we encountered one another, back when I was still a student at the DWMA, just fueled her hatred more I think. It's part of the reason she still wants to kill me." Crona explained. "I wouldn't be all that surprised if she went after my friends, too. I... I don't want that to happen." he added.
