[oh dear this name thing is going to come up again isn't it]

I've only heard about Meister abilities -- but it stands to reason I should have one too. [and, slightly embarrassedly:] I'm only a little ashamed to admit that I relied on my former powers as somewhat of a crutch. I hope it won't take too long to get the hang of these.

[smile!] You seem like the fighting type, though. Perhaps we can help each other.
