[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.]

Comments

[reassures]

[It was mostly the cold blooded killer comment that made her suspicious.]

Is something wrong with that?

[onehundredswords]

Quite the opposite! It's awful nice seein' she's actually got friends, what with bein' the angry little thing she is.

[Which...actually fits into the strangely nice yet somewhat twisted reason he's training her in the first place.]

First impressions had me thinkin' she was an anti-social sort.

[reassures]

She is a little bit angry-- and anti-social.

[But they kind of go back. And Nill is definitely not going to let someone like this guy hurt Rin if she can help it.]

We're still friends.

[payback]

anti-social??!

[reassures]

[RIN IS THIS REALLY THE TIME FOR THAT]

A little-- there's nothing wrong with that!

[payback]

but I'm not

[SHE COULDN'T JUST TAKE THAT ok]

[reassures]

Okay.

I'm sorry.

[WHAT ELSE DOES SHE SAY oh fuck she actually upset her how even]

[payback]

[SHE'S JUST A BIT FLUSTERED it's all good]

I talk to

lots of people

[reassures]

You're very good at talking to people.

[payback]

I like the people I talk to!! mostly

[reassures]

That's good!

[payback]

where does the antisocial thing come from

[reassures]

It's nothing. Why are you so worried?

[payback]

I dont want to seem unfriendly

[onehundredswords]

Ain't nothin' wrong with that.

Takes all sorts to make life interestin' after all!

[reassures]

You're right. It would be boring otherwise.

[onehundredswords]

Enough about her though.

Who're you?

[reassures]

My name is Nill.

[onehundredswords]

D'ya make a habit of keepin' an eye on Asano, here?

She does seem like she'd get 'erself into trouble more often than not.

[reassures]

When I can.

Rin can take care of herself, but we're friends. I want to help her.

private;

[onehundredswords]

Can ya' do anything special?

I mean, Rin 'erself is just human, so she can't do much, is what I mean.

What about you?

private;

[reassures]

I am also human.

I have wings-- but I think that's the only thing about me that you might consider strange.

[MOSTLY LIES, but seriously, who would tell someone that seems like a threat to a friend the whole truth? Or even most of the truth.]

private;

[onehundredswords]

[He's doesn't really think she's being completely honest - doesn't know her well enough if she is that type of person yet or not - but whether or not she is isn't skin off his back, since he's not asking for himself.]

Well good! In that case might ya' be interested in helpin' me train yer' friend here someday?

It'd be a big help.

private;

[reassures]

I don't think I would be very much help. What do you want me to do?

private;

[onehundredswords]

Ah, I guess I am gettin' a little ahead of myself - I should ask, firstly, are ya' trainin' to fight in the war yer'self or steppin' out of harm's way?
