, . But It Would Be A Lie To Say That There Wasn't Any Truth To Those Words. Sometimes, He Swung With

Sometimes, he swung with so much sweeping force that he would nearly throw the darn thing ! It just goes to show that his talents were FAR more into cleaning and customer service than combat.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤO - oh ! I suppose you're right, Mister Caelus ! I'll try my BEST to work on that !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤAs the child walks ahead of the older trailblazer, he stops; periwinkle hues marveling at the sight of the training car. Of course, the trailblazers had to learn how to defend themselves somehow. And yet, it was still an AMAZING sight to the child. The Astral Express really had EVERYTHING a person could possibly ever need or want !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWoooah ! This place is REALLY NEAT !ㅤ❜

caelus hums in thought at the question, genuinely thinking about it as they made their way to the training car. it's only now that he realizes that he ( at least he thought ) had no actual professional training experience, much less any qualifications to train another. yet his seemingly natural battle prowess couldn't be denied and had actually only been refined throughout his time as a nameless. that makes golden hues glance at the younger boy, evaluating what would be the best plan of action for him and actually be helpful at the same time.

❝ i think we'll start with your accuracy. since last time i saw you fight, you were kind of just swinging that mop around wildly, ❞ he pauses once they get to the car, gesturing for the boy to go first, ❝ which is fine ! everyone starts somewhere different. besides, since you're still young and pretty small, going for weak points would even the playing field for you a lot. ❞

Soooo... I kind of just got hit with a big project. I have twelve replies done and I know I owe MORE than that but I'm just gonna start my queue now and start playing more catchup once I'm in a better place. Thank you for your understanding !

and the story goes on, without us

And yet somehow, he had never imagined that he would finally achieve that dream and see the world OUTSIDE of Penacony ! To be able to see the galaxies just as Grandpa didㅤ—ㅤit was everything he wanted and MORE !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe Xianzhou Luofu was so different from Penacony's bright lights and glamour. He had only ever heard stories of the placeㅤ—ㅤbut it was an entirely NEW experience to see those ornate buildings and their unique culture for himself !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe child had gotten separated from the rest of the Trailblazers by accidentㅤ—ㅤbut he didn't seem to be TOO distressed just yet. What catches his attention however was the sound of his NAME. He finds himself facing an unfamiliar woman with a strange, SLIGHTLY imposing air. How did she know his name ? Were people talking about his time and his services as a Bellboy ? Or had the truth about the WATCHMAKER gotten a bit further than he would have liked ?

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWell, no use NOT answering the woman. Maybe it was nothing.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤYes, Miss ! That's ME ! How can I help you ?ㅤ❜

Firefly had informed her of the truth about Penacony's Watchmaker, but Kafka was still rather surprised to see the boy traveling with the Astral Express. Well, whatever isn't in the script isn't relevant to the final outcome, so Kafka didn't think much of the newest edition--or perhaps oldest?--to the 'Trailblaze family'.

"Misha, right?" the woman drawled as she looked down at the child. The rest of the Astral Express didn't know she was here, back on the Luofu. Stelle knew, of course... But she was a special case. Kafka's duty right now had nothing to do with the Trailblazers, so she made herself scarce for the most part...but part of her was curious about this new member.

Or maybe she was just bored right now and searching for some entertainment.

It was obvious from the look on his face that he was definitely EAGER to learn more about the woman's birthplace and what it was like.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤBut . . .

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤThe boy frowns as he watches the woman CLEARLY struggle with the tools. Were they too heavy for her or something ? Either way, this simply WOULDN'T do. A gloved hand reaches out; offering aid to the woman.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤAre you SURE you don't want me to help with that, Miss Miran ? It's really no trouble ! I do stuff like this ALL the time !ㅤ❜

"Misha, you could never trouble me.", she spoke with gentleness lacing her voice, "You are part of our family and even if you were not, you can always feel free to ask for help whenever you need it.". Miran helped to carry some of the tools, pickung them up rather clumsily as she never even held them once in her life. Her father would always say to not get her hands dirty with such items, but she was never one to care whenever her parents didn't see it anyway.

"That's fine though. As said, we also have more bland food for those who cannot handle spice well. People in Japan in general don't seem to eat as much spice as we do in my home country.", oh, how she had hated the food back in her childhood before she got slowly used to it. It was one of the reasons for the existence of the more spicy variants of food.

She just couldn't miss out the spice for too long.

"You can start with that and slowly go to the spicier one, if you feel like trying out you know."
