You know, I wasn't sure you were actually gonna do it at first. But hey, look at you now. You're getting the hang of this - [ Roland makes a weird hand gesture. ] whatever this is - and you're starting to build up good habits. I'm proud of you. Keep it up and your hard work will pay off in dividends, trust me on that.

...

[ He throws an expression clearly lacking in amusement. ] Don't mock salute me, little miss. It's time you take this seriously. Start applying yourself to games. You'll never see improvement if you start and stop. Remember: it's about consistency.

[ He stops mid-sentence and blinks, completely taken aback. Roland exhales harshly through his nostrils, narrowing his eyes like a viper. ]

I'm not lecturing you. [ Sure, dad. ]

Heehee. Is your mundane giving you trouble, sir?

[adregem]

[ Roland crosses his arms. ]
Something like that. But hey, word on the street is that's what mundanes are for. Trouble.

[resplendent_flames]

Ah - I've heard the same about a lot of them as well. But you seem to be able to handle yours well.

[adregem]

We'll have to see about that. She hasn't had any crazy ideas up her sleeve for me yet, but I'm not about to count her out.

[ He sighs. ]

Hope yours isn't as scheming. Speak up if they get ahead of themselves.

[resplendent_flames]

Ahah, well as long as you remain vigilant I don't believe you will have to worry.

[ She hopes. Oh. ]

Mine? Oh no..at least I think I'm safe in that regard for a time, thankfully.

[adregem]

Heh. She won't get past me, that's for sure.

Oh? No plans on...what was it? Applying?

[resplendent_flames]

Hehee, good.

Oh, no, um, she's not really that confident with me to do something like that yet, I'm afraid. I'm still fairly new to her.

[adregem]

Is that so? I'm sure it's nothing a bit of practice won't fix. You and your mundane have all the time in the world together, she'll be able to get you ready for a game. How hard can it be, right? [ Roland offers a kind smile. ]

[resplendent_flames]

[ Pyra smiles, nodding. ]

Yes, I feel the same way! Having time to do so - well, she doesn't have quite that much unfortunately..but she tries.

[adregem]

Then that's all that matters. I'm looking forward to your growth alongside your mundane! [ If Roland sounds like he's genuinely excited...that's because he is. Even though he knows the dynamic between mun and muse can get strange, he's all for supporting a healthy mentorship. ]

[resplendent_flames]

Oh! Thank you very much! And I wish you luck with your own mundane!
