[Rin shows up for practice. She still has no idea what that entails, so she's watching curiously.]

Huh... ♪

[before walking up]

[hollowheart]

[Annie looks relieved, even a little bit happy.] It's quiet here.

[roadroller]

Ah? Yeah, I guess so! [Looking around, it is a bit private. Rin's not a very quiet person, though.]

I wouldn't have thought to use a bridge like that, [she comments absently.] So, um, what should I do? ♪

[hollowheart]

I don't think you need to strengthen your body or warm up like the others. You're in a fine... Shape the way you are.

[Lifting herself up, she sits on the rail so that her legs dangle over the side, overlooking the water.] Come on.

[roadroller]

Well... that's good! I'm not sure my body can change even with exercise. ♪

[Rin laughs at that... she'll step up though and sit by her. When she does, she notices,]

Hey, we're pretty much the same height, aren't we? ♪

[Rin's actually shorter by one centimeter, but close enough.]

[hollowheart]

Being short is an advantage when you need to move fast. [no she's not sensitive about her height at all, what gave you that idea.]

You're going to hook the back of your knees against the railing and drop the rest of your body back and over. It's like sit ups, but suspended over the water. It's going to help with your reflexes. [and she does so to demonstrate, her back leaning all the way over the railing.]

1/2

[roadroller]

It's also an advantage when you need to look cute! ♪

[what's there to be sensitive about, being short is awesome.]

[roadroller]

[Rin watches the demonstration and she's suddenly really glad she's made of metal... at least she won't have to worry about her legs unlocking.]

This looks kinda hard... Okay... ♪

[She does as she's told, probably holding on a little too tight and when she lowers herself over the water, she looks up at it kind of nervously]

Uwaaah~!

[but she manages to pull herself back up quickly. Even though she's never done it before, she's pretty capable physically.]

Huh... I guess it wasn't so bad.

[She'll try it again with more confidence.]

[hollowheart]

It's fine if you keep holding to the railing with your hands. [Annie does so for a moment, before her body relaxes enough for her to stretch her arms back for balance. Once her legs have the hang of it, she tilts her head to her practice partner.]

Just don't look down. Look up.

The sky is beautiful when you're looking up at it from here.

[roadroller]

Oh, thanks. I'll try it.

[Holding on is better for now, she thinks. Rin tries it like that, and soon she's settled into a pace.]

You're right, this is pretty nice... [Though she doesn't look over as she says it, because then she might look down as well. The sky seems to be filled with fluffy clouds. It is beautiful, but also a bit sad, when she thinks of how they're stuck in this crummy place.]

Ah, don't you just wanna jump into that sky? ♪

[Defy physics and ollie out of murderland. That sounds nice.]

[hollowheart]

Once upon a time, that was possible for me. [she stretches her arms one last time before bending forward and over the railing onto solid ground before turning around to secure Rin's legs, keeping her in place so as not to fall.]

[roadroller]

[She sits up and pauses for the moment to look curiously at Annie's face- trying to see if she's kidding.]

What, really?! ♪

[hollowheart]

In a way. But if I had my gear with me here, the others would have never left me in peace.

[roadroller]

There's someone here who can fly though... it hardly seems fair that you don't get to keep your thing! Is it that bad? ♪

[She'll go back to the exercise as they talk, since Annie's holding her in place. It seems to help, plus it's not like she can be short of breath.]

[hollowheart]

Anyone would want a piece of the sky, wouldn't they?

Don't worry. I won't let you fall.
