♥ all of the things

[ phone ♥ ]
Um... hello! I'm sorry to bother you guys all of a sudden! But um~!

I want to learn! Lots of things! I don't know much about math. Or science. Or literature stuff. Or that music note stuff. Or um. Much. Are there any people who know about those things? I want to learn how to do them! And how to play sports! And card games! And everything! Since I've got time to learn those sorts of things here and I think it would be fun! Maybe I'll even get a bit smart...er.

Um but... if that's troublesome... then I don't want to burden anyone... I'm just curious. I'd like to learn...

[ park ♥ ]
[ After school, Satou can be found in the park. She isn't doing anything right away. Just staring around, debating what to begin with. When she spots you, however, she stops staring around blankly and walks over quickly. ] Um-! Hello um-! Are you... are you busy today? [ This is when you should run. ]

[ Shishou-san? ... That girl, sometimes. He sighed inwardly with a somewhat skeptical look on his face. The resemblance is a bit too uncanny for him to simply shrug off.

But now she's offering to spar? ... No, that's not going to work at all for her, even if he wanted to take her up on her offer. More sighing, this time plainly visible. ]

Erm... maybe it'd be better if I tried teaching you a few things first.

Au? Teach...?

[ At first, all Satou could think was that hearing such a thing made her pride sting. If he'd just take her up on the offer then she's confident she'd surprise him.

But thinking such things is rude. She knows that, so quickly corrects herself. Besides, he's offering to teach her "a few things" and she's already decided that Kyo is talented... ] A-Are you sure? Someone as good as you teaching me...! I don't know if I'm worth that!

[ Hey, Kyo's wanting to help. Besides, he did say "first", right? You'll have your chance. ]

..Eh, I'm nothing like my Shishou, don't praise me like that. He'd know how to teach us properly, all I can really help with are the basics.

[ That, and he doesn't want to hurt Satou unnecessarily or by mistake if he can help it. The concern and worry in him about that should be interpretable, at least. ]

[ Feelings that don't go unnoticed, and only serve to support how bad she feels for being upset. Really, it's not like Kyo is trying to hurt her pride, she reminds herself. She's such a horrible person for even worrying about her pride, when Kyo is here worrying about her. ]

The basics are the most important part, right? I need them to build up to anything... [ And Satou does consider this useful. Her Mayfield death was embarrassing and pathetic... even just knowing how to carry herself in a "normal" fight would be useful. ]

If you're willing to teach then I am very willing to learn from you.

[ Kyo blinked before looking at her again. Something about her bothered him somewhat. Is this really a good idea...? Well, she needs some way to protect herself in case things go crazy again. What keeps bothering Kyo though is whether he has enough self-control to protect her from himself. ]

... If you're sure. Just see what I do and follow my lead for now.

[ He breathed in deeply, and then out again, before he shifted into a basic stance at Satou's side — the one his teacher and adoptive father first taught him when he was little.

His form was a lot more effective from growing up, legs spaced out just a bit and knees bent slightly forward. Elbows right behind the torso, arms perpendicular to the hips, palms of fists upturned.

Another deep breath. Exhale. Making sure to not hold his breath at all the whole time. Bring the left elbow back, push the right one forward while turning the right fist right-side-up, reset into the neutral pose of the stance. Other way with the left punch now, reset. The boy does a few repetitions before holding still, retaining the neutral pose before starting over again. ]

[ At first, Satou is just watching. It'd be a lie to say she didn't find him really amazing right now. From what she knows, there is nothing "supernatural" about Kyo. He's not a mage like Shugo or Mikale. So seeing him practice with pure strength and will has left her breathless. Normal humans are amazing!

... Oh wait, is she supposed to be mimicking this?

Satou jumps in surprise when this thought hits her, immediately trying to copy his stance and mimic his movements... disappointed by the results, which remind her how weak and clumsy her human body is. Despite the disappointment, she seems to be taking this very seriously. ]

[ Continuing on, Kyo glanced over to Satou. That would be just like her, wouldn't it? After another repetition, he relaxed his stance to look her over more closely. She was trying, at least. ]

You're not used to it, it's like this at first. Need me to start over again?

A-ah... does it show? I-I've never had to do this sort of thing in such a weak body... [ Not that she expects Kyo to understand what she means by 'weak body'. Nor is she likely to answer many questions about it.

She drops her stance, nervously scratching her cheek and nodding. ]

Y-yes please... I'm sorry for being such a burden, Kyo-kun.

[ "Weak body"? Simple modesty, maybe? Whatever, Kyo doesn't linger on that detail for long. ]

It's alright, let's try this again.

[ He announced the steps of preparing the neutral pose as he showed them. Maybe it was better to take this step by step. He might be going too fast for her though? ]
