Mm-hm!

[Michelle adores how supportive so many people are.]

Oh absolutely! Because you already have an authoritative sort of look, so I think it'd really suit you!

[So it's her fashion sense talking, she hasn't the slightest idea about practicality or use of the style.]

I never associated tonfas with authority...

[Wait, does that mean she only suggested that weapon because of his appearance? H-he can't pick a weapon based solely on that!]

Ngh, but isn't practicality more important than appearance? Maybe I should pick something that isn't as close-ranged...

Really? I wonder if I was mistaken...

[Hmn. Nah!]

There's a saying that goes 'the dress doesn't make the girl, the girl makes the dress', and I think it works for weapons too! I wasn't very good with the sniper rifle at first, now I think I'm pretty above average.

[She seems maybe a bit too pleased about that. As for something not as close range...]

Hmn. Well, does anything else come to mind?

[...She can use a sniper rifle?! What the heck?! G-guess he shouldn't be surprised by some of the skills people have.]

I can always try to practice more with dunamis, but having a weapon handy is still preferable. [Especially since Ishimaru can be pretty emotional at... every situation.]

Maybe a staff? J-just one without a blade? [It's still close-ranged, but there's a somewhat bigger gap with that at least.]

[Yes, be surprised!]

Ah ha ha, I'm pretty hopeless with dunami's myself. Big sister says that I really need to get my emotions under control but that's pretty difficult for someone like me.

[A weak smile follows with a light shrug. But then she gasps, palms slapped together.]

Wow, like one of those martial arts monks?? That would be amazing! You absolutely should do that!

D-don't worry, you're not alone there! I have difficulty getting my emotions under control too, no matter how much effort I put in! It's always a goal that I'm striving towards...

[But he instantly becomes encouraged when she says that. Is it really a good idea?! It's always nice to have a second opinion about these things!]

I was thinking about it! [Plus, it's a lot harder to hurt himself with a staff than other weapons. Probably, at least!] And someone agreed to help train me with it too!

Ooooh; I wouldn't have guessed that. But that's comforting, I like that we share a goal!

[In actuality Michelle gave up on it, but knowing Ishimaru has the same interest renews her inspiration. But what's the step that comes after that? Hmm...]

I see, that's great news! I really hope you find that it's the right weapon for you. I'll be cheering you on either way~.

Maybe we can work together on it! Often times, goals are easier to reach when you're working with someone else! We can motivate each other at the very least!

[Believe in me and I'll believe in you!!]

Thank you! I'll work my hardest, so that people won't have to keep rescuing me! I won't get in the way any longer!
