Maya was swiftly approaching the age where responsibility was something she could no longer avoid. Sure, she'd been busy helping Phoenix and his court cases, but it was an excuse to neglect something else:

In fact, Yuuki had spent quite a long time watching Maya. She wasn't intending to be rude - she was just killing time whilst waiting for the headmaster her father to come out of the shop that, really, just bored her. After being allowed out after much bantering, this was not her idea of a, in his words 'father and daughter bonding!' day. She kicked up the remenants of the snow on the road as she'd walked in the direction of the café, shuddering several times from the cold that seemed to have set in. After grabbing two hot chocolates to go, she'd walked out again, only to have her attention drawn to Maya.

If she was thought she was cold (in something reminiscent of a trench coat and a scarf), then she had no idea how that girl must be feeling. She looked positively freezing, and Yuuki felt truly sympathetic for her, as her mittened hands readjusted her hold of the hot chocolate

"Being cold is the entire point!" Maya said brightly, as if being freezing was the most fantastic thing in the world. She was quite used to this intense training and she took precautions beforehand and after to stop herself catching cold - or something worse - so she looked quite unfazed. "I'm fine, really."

Yuuki didn't look entirely convinced, but she went with it, offering a small smile to Maya's reply. "Really?" she said, surprised. "I admire you for sitting out here like this-" she shivered again. Maybe it was the snow or something. "-for so long. It's good that you're okay."

Maya looked a little flustered at the compliment. People generally thought she was crazy for doing things like this, Phoenix included. Still smiling, she said, "You get used to the cold. Besides, this is nothing compared to sitting on a block of ice or something." Sitting on a block of ice being one of the more extreme methods of training. She watched Yuuki, noticing her shiver. "You look like the cold one out of the two of us, actually!"
