[Is he being sassy or genuine... she'd blame it on the text, but she knows he'd be no more readable in person. The thought of which almost makes her reconsider asking him this.]
[But it's not like she has any better options. Even if there were other fonists from home here.]
good
cause i've been thinking a lot about what happened last month
i don't want something like that to happen again
i need to be stronger
and
you're the only other fonist here who uses spells like me
[Sure, she could probably find someone to spar with otherwise. But as far as she knows, only fonists can practice artes on one another without accidentally killing each other -- a friend-or-foe mark would guarantee that. And there was really only so much she could do to improve herself without a teacher.]

yes
but i'm not gonna ask you to do it for nothing
if you teach me how to cast stronger artes faster, then i'll teach you some of the strongest artes i know
including the one only one other person in the order ever managed to use in battle
[This way, he wouldn't just be doing her a favor. Because really, the last thing she wanted was to be indebted to Jade Curtiss... even if she kinda already was after he saved her last month.]

[Her strongest arte... Big Bang?
He's not sure what this "Order" she's talking about is, but the Professor had used that arte too, and it's enough catch his interest. Even after so long, he
But now that he's thinking of the Professor, he thinks it's best to make one thing clear right off the bat.]
I don't teach.
[He's not qualified to play the role of a teacher. Imparting knowledge is one thing; a true teacher also guides and mentors, nurtures, and those are things Jade is incapable of.]
But I wouldn't mind sparring with you. You primarily use the first fonon, correct?
[If she has any skill, she'll pick up new tricks all on her own.
But now that he thinks about it...the fact that he and Arietta both use fonic artes, that's important, isn't it? Certainly, it points to a connection between him and Auldrant in some way - perhaps he's a descendant of people who were brought in from Auldrant.
Alternate universes. Alternate timelines. It's not so strange to think there's a version of him that's from Auldrant, is it?
It's a good theory, but there are still many inconsistencies that remain. He'll shelve the thought for now and focus on talking to Arietta.]

[Well, that's probably the best she could have hoped for. She can learn enough just from fighting him -- especially with the threat of death off the table, as it would have been back home.]
[...that was still strange to think about now.]
that's right! i'm best at using the first but i use the sixth fonon just as much
and also the seventh. but i already get a lot of practice with that one
[An she probably doesn't need to elaborate on why that is.]

[He had remembered that detail right, at least.]
I can't help you with the Seventh Fonon anyway. But the First and the Sixth I can do.
Do we have a deal?

deal
but we'll have to find somewhere we can fight without getting in trouble
[Even if it would be a little satisfying going to jail for throwing an arte in Jade's face.]
maybe somewhere in diedo?

Diedo works.
[It's full of open spaces for meditation and prayer. Any one of those could easily be used for sparring.]

ok
i'll let you know a time and place when i figure out my schedule
since i work during the week
[Since, you know, mongrel and all.]

[It actually takes her a second to remember the context of this, if only because... there's none on the message itself. The address name there helps.]
[But how safe is it to talk over this? She's not sure.]
ok
i haven't talked to him yet
i'll let you know when i do
[But how safe is it to talk over this? She's not sure.]
ok

[It's not too safe to talk about it, which was why he was careful with his wording. Since their conversation about the topic was partly obscured, even someone who picked up on their intentions back then shouldn't be wholly in the know.]
makes sense.
[And he'll leave it at that. This is ultimately up to her to handle. He doesn't really know the guy. All Noiz has done here is report success re: Kaname.]

[It hasn't even been a full day since her talk with Rin. She's still processing it all, unable to sleep, when she sends this message.]
he forgot
[--is all it says. How much could she even safely say here? She didn't trust it. But she also doesn't think she needs to say any more to get the point across.]

[....Well. That was that, it seems. Noiz is short and... well, 'sweet' seems inappropriate to use when it comes to him.]
i see. sorry.
[Some part of him wonders whether he shouldn't have interfered with her life by letting her on to all this... but in the end he decides it was inevitable. Besides, having her input on Kaname benefited him.]

[Even if he hadn't told her, she would have found out eventually. Whether it be from Rin or from Kaname, eventually, she would have noticed... or at least she hopes she would have.]
[But just knowing was only half the battle, if that.]
what now
?

[She doesn't really want to leave Rin here alone, but--]
[...]
[Her response comes after a couple of minutes.]
how about diedo?
are you free now?

ok
[She doesn't really bother picking a place to meet, since regardless of where he is, Liger is gonna find him. Diedo may be hot, but it's the safest place to talk she knows outside of Ceres, which she can't go to with Liger anyway.]

[ ONE DAY...
Rin appears in the kitchen. He looks very confused, a little shaken, and running his fingers in his ears as if they popped or something. He's also naked, and his hair is damp. Hadn't he been in the bath??
Why is he in the kitchen now??? ]

[UHM...]
[Well that sure is some choice Rin booty out of nowhere. But she has no idea why he's just suddenly there, making her jump a little from where she just turned from pulling a snack for Liger out of the fridge.]
W-Wah! When did you get-- wh-where are your clothes!?
[She says, looking pointed down at his booty... she has priorities ok.]
