goal: establish that Aries cares about Helia
<Helia! You came. Cool.
>Yeah. I don't think it would take much to get me up to speed.
<Nah, you got this.
<Let's see...
<You've got the basics.
<Your DPS is pretty low.
<Your weapon and gear doesn't really match your job.
<Here, you can borrow this sword. Give it back whenever, don't feel pressure about it.
<Now then. You should prioritize this skill, use skills more often, whatever.
<Would you like to spar? Or you need some time on the practice dummy?
>Let's spar!
<Sure, let's go.
<Hey, you're improving.
>Think so?
<Yeah, I won't flatter you.
>With practice, you'll learn.
>Eh, that wasn't your best.
>You'll get it. Keep trying.
<I'm giving up for now...
>Okay.
<So- how do you like sparring?
>I come here looking for you.
<...(raised eyebrows)
<Yeah? If you don't like gym stuff, you won't impress me by forcing it, you know?
<I like when a girl has her own interests.
>Oh, this is awkward. No, I don't really like the gym.
<Don't worry about it. It's forgotten.
<(if dating) Do I not take you out enough?
<(else) Hmm. Want to meet at the park tomorrow?
>Yeah!
<Cool. Text ya then. Later.
>It's exciting.
<Heh. I didn't think yankees were into that kind of stuff. You're pretty cool.
>I've never done it before.
<Well, it's not just exercise, you know. If you're ever in danger, it's a lot better if you can defend yourself instead of hoping someone else will save you.
>Is that important to you? Surely that is never necessary here. It seems so safe and slow.
<It's just a self-sufficiency thing.
<I know you're a far way away from your family and don't really know anyone.
<I'd just feel like you're safer if I know you can defend yourself.
>I'm fine!
<You could stand to learn more.
>Oh...I appreciate the training.
<Yeah, they can only teach so much at school. A lot of this comes from doing it.
>No...I'd rather not, honestly.
<But you train anyway! That's pretty admirable.
<A lot of people say they love it, but I never see them practicing.
>You know, I never feel like working out before I get here.
<You? Really?
>Oh yes. I have to force it. It feels good once I've started, but breaking the inertia.
<That's funny. Is everyone like that, then?
>Probably not. Probably just us. (smiles slyly)
