Oh, that was better than last time.

[Were he the type to applaud, he'd give her a golf clap.]

If you're not used to the balance, does that mean you give commands now?

[ hmm, she has to think about her answer to that? ]

On occasion I lead other Illuminators on a mission, but it isn't the standard. I don't want you to think too highly of me!

You're too humble.

Leadership in itself is a talent. Personally, I'm no good at it. If someone thought you were good enough to lead for a time, you have what it takes.

[ hmm, she looks a touch uncomfortable. ]

Well. Perhaps.

[Hmm.]

What are you going to do now?

What do you mean...?

According to the Dorm Heads, we can't leave until the school year is over. I'm curious as to what you'll be doing.

[ ah. she relaxes. her mind had gone... elsewhere? ]

I'll do my best to learn what I can and protect everyone, here.

[Let's not go too far.]

Protect, huh? What do you think might happen?

Hopefully nothing more than a difficult homework assignment!

But I'm prepared for anything.

Good idea.

Something about this place doesn't feel right. We should stay vigilant in case the situation changes.

Mm. [ she nods, relieved that it's not just her. ]

... What about you? How do you intend to spend our time?

. . . Napping!

[ she laughs ]

Not aiming for the stars with your education?

I've already got all the education I need. A genius swordsman like me doesn't need more!

Even if you don't need it, isn't it good to broaden your horizons?

I broaden my horizons during my travels. Is there a means more important to learning than experience?

You're right - seeing the world is the most important way to learn.

But while we're here, classes seem like the thing that can teach us the most. This is what this world is made of, or what we can see of it, at least.

Hm . . . you make a pretty convincing argument. Do you think they're teaching us a lot, though? I've only attended the one with our singing professor.

I'll not lie to you and say that they're classes that I would consider... Useful.

But sometimes to broaden your horizons means to see things you don't find useful. To find where a difference in that judgment may rest.

In other words, you're saying that I should give the other classes a chance.

You should...! It's what we're here for, after all.

It sounds troublesome . . . but I'll think about it.

You might enjoy yourself! You never know. You have to give things a chance.

I know that better than anyone.

[He also feels that certain things shouldn't be given a chance, but that's neither here nor there.]

I'll think about it. You'll know my decision by the end of the week without my telling you, I'm sure.
