[Shortly after Rin's post a video feed opens on the network, apparently being made from the same location she was in, since the camera doesn't show the person making the video, rather the camera is on Rin in the distance, who doesn't appear to be aware she's being watched.]

Hello? Ah, this thing on? Yeah, it is - good!

[A definite male voice, cheerful but sounding just that bit sly.]

I'm afraid ya' may have just seen my student tryin' to skive off of her lessons by startin' up a few conversations with most of you in the middle of a training session. She's a real lazy, ungrateful type, y'know? So try not to enable 'er by respondin'.

[There's a slight pause, before the voice sighs to itself lightheartedly.]

Kids these days, huh?

[Suddenly the camera feed rapidly closes in on Rin, though the video feed shuts off just before it gets her.]

[He rests his elbows against his lap, steeples his fingers and rests his chin against them, grinning at her.]

[... All right, she looks at him sullenly. Yes, it would all be nice. It'd be great. She could probably die happy, or something.]

Yes. But we are on [entirely different planes of existence.. :/]

... completely different levels.

[onehundredswords]

Right.

But the more used to fightin' me y'are, how tame will everyone else feel by comparison?

Fear's the most important thing when it comes to evolution, girl. Ya' gotta experience it. Overcome it. That's the way ya' grow.

[Reluctant expression... this... makes sense, and does not entirely even come as a surprise.

She just really hates getting tossed down again and again ok. She at least is motivated to sit up though, even if she just folds up and looks sulky instead of enthused or anything. BECAUSE SHE KNOWS HE'S RIGHT.]

So will I go kill all yer' friends, or are we back on fer' trainin'?

[Smile~]

[payback]

... Fine. We're back on.
