[Getting elbowed certainly makes him wake up. If Rose were watching this, she would've been laughing at her master and how he wasn't really reading the mood with a cute girl. Jerking up, Ein lets out an awkward sound before he looks around to remember where he was and what was he was doing. He gives Kirara a confused look before it finally hit him and he blushes in embarrassment.
Oh right. Today was shopping day with her. Though he couldn't forget about his other goal too... So today, he'd try to do a little multitasking.]
U-Um, sorry! You kinda dragged me out early, so I'm still adjusting to... well... [Umm.] A whole lot of stuff.
It's not even that early. [ 9:30 am isn't early!!!! ] Were things really that laid back where you came from?
[ she can't imagine not having a strict schedule, and noble academy's boarding school rules fit into what she's used to. if this kid isn't used to that, he'll definitely have some difficulties. ]
Well, I wouldn't say that. My home was actually more stricter and colder than this. But things have managed to loosen up a bit lately.
[Thanks to his efforts in Riviera and defeating a Bad Boss of his. In a sense, he could still say that everything here was more laid back.
A little wistfully, Ein looks out from the window. Humans were still a mystery to him as someone who was in the non-human camp. If he still had his black wings, then he'd easily stick out more around here. But since he lost those... Well, it might've been more of a blessing than a curse around here to be a 'wingless angel'.]
But... It feels like everyone in the Academy has something that drives them... A "dream", right? Is that what makes you all work hard?
[He knew what having goals were... But not a personal dream. When he compared himself to the others, Ein couldn't help and feel a bit envious for not being created with a beautiful thing like that.]
Not strict enough to wake up at a decent hour, though.
[ she's kidding! mostly. ]
It's not a written rule or anything, but pretty much. Even if it's something that seems silly or out of reach, all of us are striving towards a dream. It's what encourages us to do our best.
[ she tilts her head towards him. ]
What about you, then? You're a transfer student, so... do you have a dream you wanna work on achieving?
[He'll suddenly stand up from his seat as a lightbulb in his head had went off.]
--I got it! Since I don't have a dream... Then I'll become a super cool guy who can protect everyone's dreams! For now, it's something to work on!
[He was able to save one realm, so why not keep up the track record? He actually looks pretty determined about this... until the bus hits a bump and Ein ends up falling over onto the floor.
Rose would've easily went "Ein, you're so hopeless..." But she's too busy trying to climb back onto the roof of the bus. The master and familiar duo were similar in some ways.]
[ as if the standing up wasn't enough, but a heroic proclamation like that... she can't help but laugh. it's not meant to be malicious - in fact, it's a little ironic, seeing as she does just that as cure twinkle. maybe they can collab on the whole dream protection thing. ]
I like that. I think you've got a long way to go on the "super cool" part, though.
Haah... I'll just settle for "awkward cool" for right now. Not QUITE there, but getting there...
[He takes no offense to the laughing, but Ein still couldn't help and feel a bit embarrassed. Rose's snarky remarks would've added fuel to the fire.
Sometimes, he wondered if the gods themselves were messing with his luck. Ein will pull himself up and rub his redden face before sitting next to her again.]
By the way... Have you heard any rumors about monster attacks and stuff like that?
[ ulp! that's a pretty topical thing to bring up, and kirara can feel aroma shift in her bag when ein says it. but she can act her way through things, and she maintains her composure. ]
Oh, um... yeah. It sounds like pretty scary stuff, huh? People getting locked up and all that.
Mm... It is. I'm more impressed that people can still go about their daily lives despite all of that.
[Ein expected people to be more tense considering that attacks like those could happen any time. It was like that whenever he went to Riviera to fight off demons.]
But we can't worry! If worst comes to worst, I'll protect you! I might not look like much, but I'm pretty good at fighting!
[It was probably the one thing that Ein had the most confidence at. There was honest determination in his voice in contrast to earlier.]
Whoa, seriously?! So people here aren't completely defenselessness... Hearing that makes me wanna meet 'em someday.
[That certainly put Ein at ease knowing that there were warriors like himself. Rose who had been eavesdropping close to the window had to wonder if Kirara knew something. And she gets to mess around with her master for a bit...
So before Ein could even make another comment, you'll get the black winged kitty hopping through the opened window and into Ein's lap.]
What the-!? Rose? You were supposed to stay on the roof...!
[And considering that they had a psychic connection, Rose doesn't open her mouth to talk. Instead she mentally gives her thoughts to Ein: "And deal with the harsh winds up there? Please. Your lap is the warmest place to be, Ein. ♥"]
