Why would she care? Train your body with her, train your Aura with me.

[It's like having separate teachers for Biology and Chemistry. They may require some similar basic skills, but they're vastly different sciences.]

[zerotohiro]

[Man, and he thought he was done with school for a while...]

Fine, fine. [Sigh.] You obviously know how to find me, pick a time that works for you and we'll begin Aura 101. [Because as much as he's unsure about it, he'd really like to learn how to use the thing.]

[heiroglyphs]

That sounds very reluctant for someone who wants to get stronger for the sake of the people.

[Attitude, mister.]

I'll go over these times and see what works best for me. You just work on being more excited about the opportunity I've presented you with.

[She stands up from the bench, taking a moment to stretch out her lower-back. Man, she's been sitting there for a while.]

Any questions?

[zerotohiro]

[He doesn't move to follow her. He has a lot to ponder over suddenly.]

Just one. What do you want out of this in exchange? Besides the obvious.

[heiroglyphs]

What I want is for you to not be a waste of space if we ever find ourselves in danger. That's not too much to ask, is it?

[zerotohiro]

[...ouch.]

Absolutely not. [He sits up a bit taller.] That much I know for certain.

[heiroglyphs]

Good. [She gives him a small nod.]

You have a lot to learn, so be ready to take notes.

[zerotohiro]

Trust me. I'm beyond ready. [But he pauses again, giving her another tentative look.] ...thanks, Weiss.

[heiroglyphs]

That's better, you're welcome.

[Well that's just about all she wanted to say, so she's just going to turn and get ready to walk away.]

[Actually, she turns towards him, smiling over her shoulder.]

Oh, and if you ever make Ruby cry, I'll break both your arms.

[zerotohiro]

[!!!!!!!]

Why does everybody think I'm going to make her cry?! [Ugh.] But fine, whatever. That happens, you can break my arms and my legs. Deal?

[heiroglyphs]

Deal.

[Its more a precaution than anything. Hiro seems like a good kid, but he needs to know that Ruby's friends are looking out for her.]

See you around, Hiro.
