You're just starting to be ready for fighting quests at all, you're definitely not ready for the high danger ones. Even I think twice before taking those.

Okay... But the demon thing was way easier! Training with you is harder than that! Although I guess part of that is I was with someone really strong, but still.

That's probably a way bigger part than anything else.

I still wanna get better if I'm really bad at it.

You don't have to dive right into the deep end of the pool when you're still learning to swim.

Yeah... I don't wanna make you upset, either. And that really scared me, too. Sorry for saying stuff that worried you.

Sorry for freaking out at you. I just don't want you to die, even temporarily.

No, it's okay! I'd get worried too! I mean, I'm worried anyway. About dying. And about getting yelled at.

I'll try my best not to yell.

And I'll try not to die... or turn to stone. That really scared me, actually.

I don't think you have to be too worried about turning to stone except in unusual circumstances.

But there just were those!! And it's scary! I got all heavy and stiff and when I took my armour off a whole big chunk of me was rocks!

Oh, yeah, I guess you haven't had training not to panic when immobilized. We'll cover that next time I guess.

Does that happen all the time where you're from too?

It's pretty common. Enough to come up in training.

Okay... That's pretty scary, but I know you're really good at this, so I'm gonna trust you.

Training is supposed to be scary. That way you get over being scared before you encounter the dangerous thing for real.

That's true... Am I gonna have to do more stuff to train now, too? Like standing under a waterfall or something?

No, don't do that. You'll catch a cold.

That doesn't work in real life? What should I do?

Exercise. Stretch. Practice with your weapons. Practice with your powers. Basic stuff.

So just the normal stuff? Okay. I'll keep on trying that. I'll do my best so you don't get disappointed.

You've already impressed me a lot.

[...her expectations were very low.]

Really? But you still always seem to be worried...

I'll probably always worry about you a little bit. It's hard to relax completely.
