Training a child should prove interesting.

Training. For what?

[dealing_death]

To protect her family.

[wholenewstory]

[after a moment, she nods] That - is a good thing to learn.

But...you should let her be - a child. When she can.

[dealing_death]

I couldn't agree more, which is why I have stepped in to help with her training. Her other instructor is more than a little extreme and strict.

[wholenewstory]

[she smiles at that] Good. I'm glad - she'll have you, then. [she sounds a bit wistful]

[dealing_death]

We all need someone, right?

[wholenewstory]

Yes. Especially...when we're young.

[dealing_death]

I take it you didn't have anyone of your own?

[withnopowers]

[she shakes her head] Not...for a long time.

It can be a terrible thing to be alone for too long, then again, it teaches us independence.
