Well?

You're here because you have something to say, so... out with it.

There's enough he doesn't know, Priscilla. Enough. And whether or not he is accepting of the fact, and what is revealed, changes nothing.

I don't really believe there is anything to be concerned about, however.

[priscilla]

Mmm.

[How grim. Sometimes she almost forgets how much there is someone could not know about Isley.]

[...mostly so she doesn't need to wonder how much she doesn't know, herself.]

...well. If you'd like to see us spar, I don't mind it. Not that I minded it anyway! But, there are bonuses involved for-- [MAKING YOU STOP BEING SO GRIM? EVEN FOR A SECOND?] --this situation.

But it does remind me of something... I've meant to ask you.

[silverking]

Oh? And what is that?

[priscilla]

Would you... teach me again?

[...]

You're really the only one who can. There are definitely people more skilled than me... but any of them would make me go to Dismas to train, and then I can't learn to combine my skills with my abilities.

There is Teresa, but... I don't really want to train with someone I might accidentally kill. I mean, I probably wouldn't! But our levels are too... close for comfort.

[She pauses, unsure whether she should really say the next bit. But it's true. And she doesn't want him to be offended by her reasoning. So.]

...and I'd rather train with you than anyone else, anyway. I miss it.

[silverking]

All you ever had to do was ask.

[ Really, since when has he discriminated against those that wanted to learn from him? ]

[priscilla]

...what if I asked you to train me with bows, too?

[silverking]

I'm currently training Yachiru with them. I see no reason to deny you the same range in weapon availability.

However, I'm curious now. What is your interest in the bow?

[priscilla]

I liked the archery contest.

And I wonder if having more range would make me a more versatile fighter.

...and, to be honest, I wonder if it would help me focus better. My head feels a little muddled... well, most of the time.

Or all the time.

Besides, Yachiru seems so excited about it, it'd be nice to share something with her. I mean, besides what we already share.

[silverking]

...Is there something else on your mind?

[priscilla]

...there's always a lot on my mind. And my shoulders. And I'm not very big, so it's kind of hard to carry everything all the time.

And I don't have many people to talk to anymore.

And... it's a lot of things. It's always a lot of things.

But, anyway. I think it'd be nice to do something different.
