Just wondering.

...Takuto. [He says the name like a sigh.] If you want to ask or say something, then do so. I can't read minds, you know?

N-no, I was just wondering because... because I haven't been at training.

[Though he is weirdly pleased to hear that Aion hasn't been practicing resonance with anyone else.]

[Hmn. He doesn't get it.]

Are you jealous that I have been crossing my sword with others beside you? [He sounds amused at the thought.]

N-no. I don't want to fight you. [He says "fight" because he doesn't think he can get out the words "crossing swords" while keeping a straight, non-blushing face. But he's admitting in a roundabout way that he doesn't think he can spar against the demon without suffering some kind of flashback.] And I think being able to practice with other people is good for you, so... I was just curious, really.

What does Kaoru think of you?

No? Why not? [He gives him a confused look, once again not getting his partner's motivations. As far as he is concerned their fight is over and in the past and thus has no importance for what they are going to do in the future together. He doesn't hold grudges for getting attacked a little - unless that attack is personally motivated and intentional. Then he takes it dead serious.

Luckily, Takuto's question distracts him from further inquiring. For now.]

I think that she's okay with me. We get along, if that's what you mean.

[He nods. He'd have to ask Kaoru herself what she thought of his partner. ~~Or he'll never know because Kaoru will be taken away by BREW before he gets a chance to ask.~~]

She's pretty easy to get along with, I think. And she's a good teacher.

Yeah. She's a lot softer than the teachers I am used to, but I guess that can be a good thing. [At least it'd be for Takuto and Chrono.]

The teachers in Pandemonium must be incredibly strict. [Kaoru always assigned him thousands of practice strokes on a daily basis. The boring kind of strokes, too!

Though... perhaps Aion is talking more about Kaoru's gentle nature. She really is a softie inside, which Takuto appreciates. ~~Or maybe Aion means literally, because Kaoru doesn't wear any demon armor like the kind Aion has.~~]

It's a more military-like manner of teaching, I think. They believe that everything that doesn't break you makes you stronger. [He frowns lightly because he didn't always agree with that way of training.]

Hm. So did you have classes and things in Pandemonium? [Because now that they are on the subject, he is curious what similarities their upbringings might have had.] I mean, did you go to school? Or was it more like going to training?

It was training to grow into the roles we were born for. [He sighs.] They taught us a lot that was useful later on, but I don't think the way they did it was right. Birth shouldn't come over what you have a talent for or what you want to become.

We didn't have schools like yo do, though. They covered everything as part of our training.

[He nods, feeling a little sorry for his partner. Whatever difficulties Takuto has had, Aion seems to have had it worse.]

I think you're right. You should be allowed to pursue whatever it is you want to pursue.

That's what I think, too. [He nods, smiling a little.] Free will is something that should be allowed to anyone.

[Takuto smiles back. Even though there are some things about Aion that he doesn't necessarily agree with, Aion believes in all the important things.]

I take it the demons that still live where you came from don't think the same way?

The leading ones don't and the masses follow their lead. [He shakes his head.] It's regrettable but something that can't be helped.

If it was really something that couldn't be helped... then you probably wouldn't have tried to do something about it. [And Aion wouldn't think the way he does, either. In theory.

And not that he knows the full story about what Aion tried to do about it, but he knows what the words "leading a rebellion" mean, and that's good enough.]

[He gives him a small, grateful smile.]

Thanks for understanding. It see,s okay when you don't know about it, but after I found out what is going on behind the scenes... I just couldn't do nothing. [That isn't even a lie.]

I'm the same way.

[He returns the smile, and then looks around and shrugs.]

I think I'll head back to the apartment. Firecracker probably wants to go out.

Alright. I'll follow once everything's settled here.
