This was what his entire life and all of his dreams lead up toㅤ—ㅤthe GRAND adventures beyond the Planet of Festivities. There was no denying that of all the people on the Express, the former bellboy was the MOST excited of all. The usually quiet and timid child was practically bouncing off the seats the past few days !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤAlthough, there was one thought that lingered in the back of his mind as well. That incident back at the Reverie Hotel where he was being chased by a shadow, the terrifying ( but still fascinating ) stories other travelers told and his Grandpa archived in his journals, and of course, some of the more malicious memes at Penaconyㅤ—ㅤhe really needed to learn how to PROTECT himself better. He didn't want to be a burden on the other Trailblazers after allㅤ—ㅤand he wanted to be as strong as his Grandpa too !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤWith that in mind, he approaches the man with a QUESTION.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤC - can youㅤ—ㅤplease teach me how to use a BASEBALL BAT better ? I know Trailblazing can be a bit dangerousㅤ—ㅤand I don't want to cause you guys any UNNECESSARY TROUBLE after you let me on the Express !ㅤ❜

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑻𝒉𝒆 𝒏𝒆𝒘𝒇𝒐𝒖𝒏𝒅 𝑵𝒂𝒎𝒆𝒍𝒆𝒔𝒔 𝒏𝒐𝒅𝒔 𝒆𝒙𝒄𝒊𝒕𝒆𝒅𝒍𝒚; eager to learn just like any other student. If he started NOW, then surely he would be well - prepared for his very first Trailblazing expedition ! He would definitely make his Grandpa and the Astral Express PROUD !

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤYes ! If you have time, I'd LOVE to, Mister Caelus ! ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤHe moves away for a brief moment; grabbing his trusty mop that had been leaning against the train's steel walls just nearby. The cleaning tool had been used to clean many floors back at the Reverie and more recently, the ASTRAL EXPRESS' floors. But there had also been incidents in which the mop had bore witness to rouge members of the Dreamjolt Troupe when Gallagher wasn't around. The mop had DEFINITELY seen better days.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWe can use my mop for now if you don't have an extra bat just yet ! It probably doesn't have the same weight as a batㅤ—ㅤ but it MIGHT work !ㅤ❜

having a new member on board the express was certainly exciting, and caelus could see why march was so excited when he joined too. there were many surprises on penacony, and it seemed like they weren't quite over either. still, he found himself with a bright smile dancing on his lips as misha hurried to and fro across the express, eager for his first mission. caelus had to admit, it was quite refreshing to see the boy actually act like a child, compared to his somewhat subdued nature on the planet on the festivities. so when misha came to him, aureate eyes studied the younger as he spoke.

❝ you want to... learn how to use a baseball bat ? ❞ he echoes unhelpfully, expression morphing into one of surprise at the request. he supposed it wasn't entirely uncalled for either though, considering it would be a good idea for misha to defend himself with more than a wooden mop. and this gave caelus the opportunity to be a cool, smart, and talented mentor.... so he finds himself agreeing easily, a grin tugging at his lips.

❝ mmm, sure ! it'd probably be easier for you to swing that around more than it would a spear or anything else. did you wanna start now ? ❞

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ❛ㅤYeah, that sounds GREAT !ㅤ❜

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ𝑯𝒐𝒑𝒆𝒇𝒖𝒍𝒍𝒚, 𝒉𝒊𝒔 𝒈𝒐𝒐𝒅 𝒐𝒍' 𝒎𝒐𝒑 𝒘𝒐𝒖𝒍𝒅 𝒍𝒂𝒔𝒕 𝒖𝒏𝒕𝒊𝒍 the day the Nameless could finally get him something actually built to hit things. His mop had served him wellㅤ—ㅤbut it definitely deserved a vacation or AT LEAST to retired to only train - cleaning duties. Not to mention, he would have been upset if the cleaning tool suffered a TRAGIC ACCIDENT after some unintended misuse.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤFor now though, he would believe in the mop's lasting resilience as he clutched it close to him. He scurries just behind the other Trailblazer; the obvious excitement NEVER fading.

˚ʚ ☾ ɞ˚ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤㅤ❛ㅤWhere are we going to start FIRST ?ㅤ❜

the former bellboy's excitement is infectious, and caelus finds himself easily mirroring the other's grin. being a teacher instead of the one learning was something the trailblazer already found himself enjoying before it even happened, especially since it was something he was quite good at. golden eyes fall to misha's mop, a fleeting thought of it's durability flashing in his mind. he had seen the boy beat malfunctioning dreamjolt troupe members with it before, but intentionally whacking it didn't seem like the smartest idea. whatever, it'd probably be fine.

❝ 'course i have time ! and your mop'll be fine, for now at least till we get you a bat of your own. ❞ caelus doesn't have the heart to tell misha that his bat was a curio that he got when he woke up, but he was sure that a regular bat would suit the other just fine. with that, the trailblazer ushers the boy towards the car meant for training, growing even more eager for their training session. ❝ we're just gonna work on the basics for now so you can get a feel for it, sounds good ? ❞

‧₊˚ ⋅ ꒰১ ᯓ ☆ㅤ˗ˏˋㅤ𝑶𝒉ㅤ—ㅤ𝒘𝒆𝒍𝒍, 𝑻𝑯𝑨𝑻 𝒘𝒂𝒔 𝒆𝒎𝒃𝒂𝒓𝒂𝒔𝒔𝒊𝒏𝒈. But it would be a lie to say that there wasn't any truth to those words. 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. ❞
