[ Thankfully, Shinjiro's cooperativeness means the follow-up from Cloud is all but secured - a deft swing of the broom catches the fairy by surprise, and in the flurry to avoid being literally swatted in the air has to likely drop its precious cargo, which Cloud promptly swats to the ground, in hopes another fairy doesn't get the bright idea to grab it before he can complete the handover.
...Of course, it doesn't stop Cloud from nearly throwing himself ass over teakettle, having swung the broom with far more force than it was warranted. ]
Guh! C'mon, go bother someone else! [ He's going to continue shaking the broom at the fairies. Hopefully they don't retaliate too hard, when they do. ]
Okay, I think we're clear. ...Probably. [ He's gonna let Shinjiro grab his wallet, standing vigil with the broom after regaining his balance. ]
[Damn, bro really going to town with that broom. Shinjiro's eyebrows go up as Cloud swings it like one would something much heavier-- more maybe just trying to inject more force into it, make sure that the fairy drops? Still, damn.]
...Did you just kill it?
[I mean, he sounds more surprised than fully disapproving, but-- wow, man. The things are this big. Thankfully the straw end of the broom is more forgiving than a solid object, but still. Cloud, you just wacked that thing like a home run slugger. He rolls out a shoulder to stretch it as he walks back, picking up the wallet from the ground as he does. And-- hey, there's that fairy, fluttering off. Looking concussed and disoriented, and maybe a little crumpled at the edges, but otherwise intact.
it's fine. They're magic.]
Thanks. Maybe taking those things out should be your next job, if you're that ready to do it.
Nah, I don't... think so. Sorry. Guess I got— carried away.
[ He's not even really sure why he went for the two-handed approach, except that it just... felt right. ]
I don't think the fairies would be very accommodating if I made that kind of career change, though. [ He laughs it off, mostly making sure he didn't pull something when he swung that hard — weirdly, he feels fine. ]But, if it ever got bad enough... well, I'm always in the market for more work.
Hell, if you're good at getting the fairies to pay attention to you... could make for good bait. Make it a tag-team. [ He's joking... mostly. ]
