Now, now. Despite our sparring, I didn't know you'd open up your own school. Had I known from the start, you would have been my first choice.

[she says lightly, with a warm, gently teasing expression]

[retsuden]

It's not a school. [ He says it with a sigh, like he's had to correct this far too often. ] But you could have asked me to teach you privately. I would have been happy to.

Just like I suppose I'll be happy enough to let you into my dojo now.

[unphase]

Ah. My apologies. [she says, entirely sincere] And I know, I should have. Hindsight is perfect from a certain distance, I suppose?

[and she looks entirely thrilled] Really? I'm so glad! And I won't let you down, I swear it.

[retsuden]

Mm. I'm sure of it.

[unphase]

Thanks. And--and if there's another tournament? I'll win.

[she's swearing that much to herself as much as anything]

[retsuden]

Hn. I trust that. You have a lot of promise.

[unphase]

[that makes Tinya absolutely beam because she knows he wouldn't have said it if he didn't believe it]

Thank you, sensei. I appreciate your faith in me more than I can say.
