[What he thought would be a funny discussion about cats turned out to be a neverending performance of "The Rum Tum Tugger." It was a nightmare that refused to end. Now that it's finally over, one thing's for sure: he's never going back.
Not long after he's decided this, he, looking every bit the part of a punk in Chad colors, finds a familiar face in the gym, which he almost walked past, because no thanks! But it's Luxanna. He likes her enough to stride up in the middle of her practice.]
I've had enough of that song to last me a lifetime. If all the other classes are like that, I may just not bother anymore.
[ i'm crying why are you calling them Chad colors instead of the seasonal theme name.
anyway lux slightly fumbles a catch of her baton, distracted when she spots him. after a little nod of greeting she starts twirling the baton again, more idly. ]
Oh? Was the music not to your tastes? What a surprise.

[ she's joking... ]
no subject
I can only listen to the same song so many times.
[His gaze drops to the baton.]
You look like you know what you're doing.
no subject
[ as for the baton, hm. she considers. ]
I'm a fast learner. But I'll admit that when I was a child I would sometimes be scolded for playing with my aunt's baton.
no subject
Sheesh. Scolded for doing something like that? Your family sounds strict.
no subject
Though I do understand that it's something she uses for giving command. It's a heavy symbol for a child to twirl around like a toy.

no subject
Thank you for the understanding. My eight year old self appreciates it.
no subject
But now I'm curious. Mind showing me some moves with that baton in your hand?
no subject
[ she gives it a couple twirls in front of her, flicking her wrist around. Then tries again to toss it, and does a better job catching it this time! ]
... And that is about the extent of what I can do.
no subject
[Were he the type to applaud, he'd give her a golf clap.]
If you're not used to the balance, does that mean you give commands now?
no subject
On occasion I lead other Illuminators on a mission, but it isn't the standard. I don't want you to think too highly of me!
no subject
Leadership in itself is a talent. Personally, I'm no good at it. If someone thought you were good enough to lead for a time, you have what it takes.
no subject
Well. Perhaps.
no subject
What are you going to do now?
no subject

no subject
I'll do my best to learn what I can and protect everyone, here.
no subject
Protect, huh? What do you think might happen?
no subject
But I'm prepared for anything.
no subject
Something about this place doesn't feel right. We should stay vigilant in case the situation changes.
no subject
... What about you? How do you intend to spend our time?
no subject
no subject
Not aiming for the stars with your education?
