"I already appreciate you offering to teach fighting though, if anything happens here I'm going to be unprepared." Rinoa hadn't wanted to come out. Her life was miserable at the moment, but if she didn't come out, she would lock herself inside forever. She had to try. Plus this was something she was actually good at. That was one way to make her feel better about her being stuck there. She could be useful. She was adding to the community.

Rinoa smiles at him, her first smile in a few days, slightly shadowed and sad, and goes over to lean against the wall next to him. This isn't her first time wrangling someone who is hesitant. But he's there. That means something. "I'm sure that having good quick hands to fight in combat will help you. A lot of it is the same kind of memorizing, on a smaller level."
