♥ [Action/Training Center/Open] I have the right idea but the execution's a little weak

[rebellingheart]

[Most of Rinoa's classes weren't so bad. Most of them her time traveling with SeeD had prepared her for and the others seem to just need  a bunch of studying. Thankfully she didn't mind pouring over books so that wasn't too big of a hardship. There was though one class that continued to be a struggle to adjust to, but it was the one she was

[OOOH. That's so cool! Colette gawks for a moment and watches, hands raised to her collarbone and clutching the cloth there. That's a gunblade, right? Those strange things they had in Weapons Training?

But it doesn't look like she's very natural with it... maybe Colette should help?

Not knowing how else to grab Rinoa's attention, she starts to wave wildly, not thinking about how enormous a distraction that could be.]

[rebellingheart]

[The hand waving is a pretty great distraction, enough so that Rinoa ends up getting a sharp blow to the face from the monster.

Glaring at the grat while holding her cheek with her left hand, it takes her a minute to realize that she's already started to summon a Fira in response with her other. It was overkill for certain, but somehow the thought wasn't repulsive at the moment. As the grat crumbles into ash, she just scowls at it for a moment before remembering that something that wasn't the grat had caught her attention which had started this whole mess.

Shouldering the gunblade, she turns to look for the source and then walks over to the unfamiliar blonde.]

Are you okay? You looked like you were in trouble a minute ago since you were waving your arms around so much.

[Oh the irony.]

[runaway_chosen]

[As Rinoa successfully defeats the monster, Colette clasps her hands before her with a congratulatory smile. However, it dissolves into a confused frown as Rinoa asks her question. Huh?

She shakes her head - no, no, she wasn't in trouble at all! Rather... she pulls out her weapons of choice and shows the two chakrams. Do you want to train together?

She goes back to smiling in the hopes of being understood.]

[rebellingheart]

[Rinoa looks at the girl and then the weapons curiously. It seems almost like a blaster edge without a mechanism to help use it. This of course catches her curiosity.

Then, realizing that the girl either can't or won't say anything, she fills the silence herself.]

I've never seen any weapon quite like that, you want to train together for a little while?

[runaway_chosen]

[Oh, she does understand! Great! Colette smiles widely and nods, playing with one chakram by twirling it in her hand, tossing it in the air, and... dropping it.

Ah!

She quickly bends down to pick it up, realising as she does so that the layer of sandy dirt is soft enough to write her name in. She glances up at Rinoa, smiles again, and writes "C O L E T T E."]

[rebellingheart]

[It' a pretty easy thing to guess, so it's not really a reflection on Rinoa's perception skills. Even though she's pretty sure they aren't so bad most of the time.

The chakram dropping does get a smile from the other girl, only to have her lean over as the other girl writes her name in the dirt.]

Colette? That's a pretty name. I'm Rinoa.
