The vaguely Watcher-esque gentleman with the white streak in his hair can't help but smile. He's never actually trained a hero before (that's a total lie, but he doesn't count the pre-modern ones), but he does have the background for it, physically, mentally... magically.
Rachel peers at him. She really can't help but smile a bit but it quickly goes away. She doesn't want to look super egar for a teacher even though she is.
"Oh yeah? Are you sure? I mean it gets a little complicated what with the Slayer package," Rachel says while stuffing her hands in the side pockets of her jeans in a very unlady-like manner.
The corners of Jasons mouth turn up slightly, the biggest smile he's willing to giver her right now. "Young lady, compicated is the life I live. Jason Blood, at your service." Despite the white in his hair, his age is ambiguous, somewhere between later twenties and early forties.
She had hoped to get some kind of reaction when she threw out the bit on her being a Slayer. She recalls though that this is the Nexus and he probably won't know what a Slayer is.
"All right then. I'm Rachel Hornberge Mr Blood. Do...You know what the Slayer is? I have a feeling I'll have to explain though," she says with reaching up to brush at her hair.
"Super-strength, I can sense demons, I heal quickly, I run fast, react fast, I can pretty much use any weapon I get my hands on naturally from...what I know. And the occasional dream that gives me an idea of what I have to face," Rachel rattles off being as honest as she can. "I mean I seriously haven't tested my limits but...that's because I don't exactly have a hand book."
But hey she found some stuff by looking around really hard and using logic. "From what I gather we...uh. Girls like me were made to fight demons."
"Oh. Slayer? People from your sort of world come and go all the time. On the plus side, the most important weapon for you to have in a wooden stake, and those are cheap."
She blinks at him. "I've only really met one Slayer besides myself here. We're not exactly from the same world. But yeah. Wooden stakes are awesome. Easy to find. But a piece of wood won't kill everything. Or subdue."
"Well see here's the thing. I'm not dumb. Fighting openly without real training is a good way to get dead fast. Yeah?" She smiles cheerily. "Super-strength. Fast reflexes. I heal really fast. Um. I can pretty much use most weapons. I have dreams about what I'm supposed to do. Oh! And I can detect demons."
"Genetically predisposition destiny would be a better way of putting it," Rachel says as she stuffs her hands into her pockets looking very much like a normal teenager.
Rachel reaches up with one arm to rub the back of her neck. Though right now she feels that low tingle that's letting her know something with the other girl.
"Well I did agree to this. I mean I...had to. Right? She asked if I was ready," Rachel starts to babble. She had said yes after all.
Lucy smiles softly. The feeling might be because Lucy was once a Slayer herself...or because she's a ghost now. ""Which she might this be?" Lucy asked, interested, though - honestly - she had a fair idea as to who it might be.
Probably a little of both. Rachel frequently dreams about other Slayers. "Hard to explain. Red hair. Power...She felt powerful in that dream. She asked if I was ready to be strong...or something like that. She made us different."
Hannah gets a wide grin. It's the kind that says she's happy to see Hannah.
"I'm glad you said that. I mean you're the first Slayer I met outside the Slayer dreams," Rachel tilts her head slightly. "You have a ...plan? And you'd give me free fighting lessons?"
Rachel has perked up a lot. It might be obvious to Hannah because Rachel's gaze just looks sharper. More focused.
"Only you in the Nexus. I'm hoping the next Slayer I meet back home isn't you know, bat shit crazy.," Rachel says casually.
"Yeah. It could work. I just want to give it some time before I get info and try luring her into this uh...Ambush." First Rachel wants to make sure if she gets attacked she can hold her own.

The questions are familiar to her.
She'd felt the same way a very long time ago.
"I remember being in those shoes," she says softly. "A very long time ago. It was...daunting."
