[derped]

Character(s): Rion Lyon (derped), Einiona Canning (macgyvered), and Quistis Trepe (whiplashings).
Location: The library.
Rating: PG. MAYBE PG-13 for language.
Open/Closed/Finished: Closed.
Summary: Rion wants some private lessons in the things he'd actually like to learn about, but hasn't the balls to go ask Miss Trepe by himself. (This makes it sound far worse than it actually is.)
Rion was unlike a lot of the recent arrivals to the Balamb Academy in two ways. The first of these was that Rion didn't want to learn how to fight, really; he saw it as something that he had to do to learn what he really wanted to do (and perhaps this explained his performance in the more aggressive sections of MAG 101). While he liked helping, liked doing things to help SeeD, he didn't like... hurting things except when necessary, and there was something about the whole "setting things on fire" thing that really just had not worked out well with him.

The second of these ways was that unlike a lot of the recent arrivals, Rion was aware of the history of this world. Much moreso than a lot of other people, really. And so when he'd talked to a few people and been advised that maybe Quistis would be able to help him with what he'd come here to learn about, it was with a bit of fear. No, a lot of fear - after all, not only was she beautiful and kind and nice (things that Rion did not do well with anyway, being a flaily derp who is not good with girls), she was a living legend. She'd saved the world and possibly even more than that. She was a hero.

And he was, well, a cadet who wanted to learn about healing magic. So when he had spotted her in the library to ask her, it wasn't without backup in tow, because he knew he just could not build up the courage to discuss this with her himself - after all, she was a hero, a legend, someone who would be talked about in history for all time. Didn't she have better things to do? He didn't want to face the sting of rejection alone.
