Do you have people training you? That makes it way... wait, I can't really say "easier." Better to learn?

[lyingheart]

Not directly at the moment. I did stop by to check out the Summer-sturdy training setup the other day.

[roundandaround]

Like with the dummies you can't burn down? Those are useful!

[lyingheart]

Yes. And the training dummies for non-fire related practise.

[roundandaround]

That's great! I bet you'll get the hang of it for sure. Where do you usually train? When I'm training with Neechan it's usually in the Summer Guild building, but sometimes I go to other places if someone else wants to.

[lyingheart]

Your confidence is kinder than it has any reason to be.

Summer Guild, but since for now I'm not generating fire, anywhere seems fine. Unless I have a need to get dramatic.

Are they burning bonfires in any of the beaches in the summer area?

[roundandaround]

You mean Solarpeak? Yeah! The parties are still going on, and we're having bonfires every night! With snacks!

[lyingheart]

Yes, Solarprak. That's one way to work on fire handling skills.

Is there one you'll be at tonight?

[roundandaround]

I dunno! It depends what the rest of the house wants to do. Did you wanna meet up and eat stuff and practise?

[lyingheart]

If you or any of the others aren't busier doing more interesting things. It's not pressing.

Neither is my ability to spell.

[roundandaround]

Oh, that's okay! Lots of people make typos. Or can't spell. Mecchan is still learning to read, and he spells stuff wrong all the time.

[lyingheart]

It's the weird way you type on this screen. How do you keep your fingers from hitting the wrong ketters sometimes?

2/2

[lyingheart]

Letters.

See?

[roundandaround]

I guess you're supposed to read stuff over before you send it, but I keep forgetting to do that too. Maybe if you fold it out into laptop mode so there's keys, it'll be easier?

[lyingheart]

It can fold out?

[roundandaround]

Yeah! Ellipsan tech has that kinda thing, it's really cool ♪ The phones we get all have different modes.

[lyingheart]

Huh.

Will you show me whenever we meet up?

[roundandaround]

Yeah, of course! I bet you'll get the hang of it in no time!

[lyingheart]

Your confidence in me is again much greater than it has any right to be.

[roundandaround]

Why do you say that? You're Reiner-san's friend, right? And he's really strong and works hard.

[lyingheart]

( Eh )

Neither of which necessarily mean much when new technologies are first introduced, but yes, he is both those things. It doesn't really mean that I must be too.

( She is, but her bigger struggle is the overload, not the individual pieces. )

[roundandaround]

Huh... I still think it's important to try and think you can do it. You never know what'll happen, right?

[lyingheart]

I have confidence I'll manage. That's about the most I can pretend to at the moment.

[roundandaround]

How about this? I'll be confident in you even if you're not!

[lyingheart]

( It's not something she thinks is necessary by any stretch of the imagination, but it's also harmless, so... )

Sure. I won't stop you from doing that.

( Annie being fairly certain you can't really stop anyone's beliefs, big or small, anyway. And in its own way... it's a little sweet? )
