[the arts and crafts cabin has been made into a makeshift little training area again, with all the tables pushed up against the wall and a handy mattress laid out on the floor. TIME TO TEACH SOME TINY GIRLS HOW TO HIT THINGS]

You sure she's coming?

[fourthsaken]

He's not gonna hurt me either. This is all just practice.

[fuckyudied]

[mutters something under his breath]

[playwithfire]

I know you two are controlled and it's just practice but I don't really think it will work for me.

[fourthsaken]

Why not? We can change things up to make it work for you.

[fuckyudied]

[goes over to his coat and digs his lighter and a pack of cigarettes out of the pocket, then heads for the door]

[playwithfire]

[Waaaaatching him go before she speaks up again]

Because I don't really trust my control. I melted Hannah's bathroom.

[fourthsaken]

Dude, that was nothing. Hanna's probably almost burned down his apartment, like, twenty times.

[playwithfire]

By vomiting on it when he was worked up?

[Finally taking the sleeve of that jacket and scrubbing the makeup out of her eyes for good]

[fourthsaken]

No, probably by fucking up a rune.

Maybe this could help you get control of it. And if something goes wrong Yusuke and I'll both be here. It'll be okay.

[playwithfire]

I dunno if it's a good idea... Sometimes I'm not exactly myself.

[fourthsaken]

If you start to feel like that, we'll stop. I like having you here, Ava.

[playwithfire]

[Ah geez, who could say no to that face]

Alright.

[fourthsaken]

... Go grab Yusuke.

[playwithfire]

Fine.

[Heaves a sigh and she trudges out to retrieve Mr. Personality]

[fuckyudied]

[crouched against the outside wall of the building, still smoking]

Hey.

[playwithfire]

I'm here to get you.

[fuckyudied]

That mean you're sticking around?

[playwithfire]

For a little while.

[fuckyudied]

[stands up, grinding his cigarette out with his heel]

I can work with that.

[fourthsaken]

[she'll be sitting on the mattress when they go back inside]

[playwithfire]

[She rubs her arm self-consciously and looks to Jade for instruction]

[fuckyudied]

[to Ava]

You wanna try? I'm gonna take this back to square one. We can just work on punches.

[fourthsaken]

Yeah, Ava, go ahead. I could use a break.

[playwithfire]

A-Alright. I'll try.

[fuckyudied]

[holds his palms out. HUMAN PUNCHING BAG AT THE READY]

I won't hit back. Just lay it on me!
