Indeed, Elliot came to the door, the book that he had been reading still cradled under one arm. He looked somewhat perplexed, not expecting to see Ada standing on the other side. It still took some getting used to when he tried to remember that the girl lived with them now.

"... What?! I'm reading. This'd better be important."

...okay, that could have gone worse. Ada smiled... something in between sheepish and apologetic. It took her a moment to consider how she wanted to ask this so that he might listen, but she came up with something quick, knowing he wouldn't like it if she stood here and made him wait.

So, with her hands clenched together, pressed to her chest, she bowed her head and spit it out.

"Please teach me how to use a sword!" Straight to the point.

Even for silent seconds after she said it, Elliot was still staring down at her as she bowed in complete confusion.

"Are you kidding me?!" She couldn't actually mean that, could she? This really was Ada talking to him, right? She couldn't be saying what he thought she was. She had to be going completely insane. Since when was she ever interested in swordplay?!

"No!" Ada straightened up and immediately shook her head. Of course it probably sounded silly, but she had never been more serious. Guns scared her, but a sword she thought might be something that even she could learn to handle.

But how to explain it to him. "I know it probably seems crazy, but I don't want everyone to always have to protect me. I want to be able to carry my own weight. I have things I want to protect too..."
