Dial found his way to the delinquents rooms and knockedonce before entering anyway. Blink had a sour expression on his face since he was only halfway through dressing when the fair-haired man stepped in.
"Cirrus, have you decided on a weapon you'd like to be trained in yet?"

"Should I have?" Cirrus asked suspiciously. Why they wanted to arm him, he woudl never be able to guess.

Dial frowned, "Well you can choose today. And you?" he stared at the blond while he did up his pants.
"A weapon? I thought we were weapons? Wouldn't that be like arming a spear with a sword?" Blink stated stubbornly.
"You'll both need to be trained properly with weapons." he pressed his finger to Blink's nose, "I know it hurts but start thinking." he retracted it before Blink snapped at it.
"You," his finger set on Cirrus," will be trained today." he smiled coyly and motioned him out of the room.

Cirrus scowled at Dial's patronizing behaviour around Blink, but stood up and followed. Better than being dragged kicking and screaming. "It can't hurt......"

"It can if you aren't skilled." Dial lead him to a room with several weapons. "You'll be taken to be trained by Lady Rosetta." he informed as he stood by the display of arms. "Choose one."

"Fancy name," Cirrus muttered and looked at all the weapons. Likely all stolen, no doubt. He looked at the weapons critically and picked up a pair of short katanas. "This doesnt' look to be so bad."

"Don't let it fool you. She's proper and high class but she kicks below the belt." Dial folded his arms. "I suggest protection, she's not a fan of men." he said seriously. "Those? Good choice, they are well balanced and it will sharpen your skills."

Cirrus narrowed his eyes. "Do you speak from experience?" He didn't say to what he was referring to.

"Yes." he answered both questions. "Come. Time to meet your teacher." Dial left the room and down a hallyway. A door zoomed into view and on it was painted a vibrant rose. "Address her as Sensei unless she sais otherwise." he stepped in, leading the nin into a room lit up with candles.
A young lady stood in the center of the room, arms folded over her bust and an intricate red dress was tightly around her upper half then exploded into ruffles on the lower half. It looked nearly impossible to walk in let alone fight. She had long brown hair that was half tied up.
"Is this my new student? The whiney one or the stubborn one?"
"....whiney." Dial said finally.

Cirrus narrowed his eyes more. "I don't appreciate nicknames."

"Its not. Its a characteristic." Dial said.
"No its a character flaw. I'll have to fix that as well." she stepped closer, the jewelry and eyepatch now visiable.
"I'll leave it to you then." Dial bowed his head and stepped out while the female approached and scruntized Cirrus. "Why did you choose these?" she asked, pointing to the katanas.

"Becaues I worked with two kunai before so they just seemed to be a progression," Cirrus said. He coudln't help but wonder if she was so good, why the hekc seh had an eyepatch.

Rose pursed her lips together, "Your weapon is an extention of who you are. These katana's aren't just a weapon, its your personality symbolized in a blade. Unshealth them and tell me who you are but I want you to also be describing those as well." she motioned to the swords.

Cirrus looked uncertainly at them and slowly unsheathed them, looking at his reflection in the sharp metal blade.
"........to be honest, before, I felt like a pushover and I was okay with that. As long as other people were happy, and those I cared for were close to me I didn't really care much more for dominance. But as I was forced out of that shell and saw more and more of the ugly side of the world and realized that there are a lot of backstabbers in existance, and that not hitting first is the worst mistake someone can make."
Cirrus looked to the other blade, in his weaker left hand. "I still fight to protect those I care for, but at the same time I've learned that in order to protect myself or move forward, sometimes I have to be the aggressor. It's a balance between defense and offense that is the hardest to reach, kind of like the balance of these blades. When do I pull back and when am I going too far? I don't know yet. If I can find that balance...I feel like I can be unified with myself and move forward without doubt."
"Right now holding these...my right hand is the most experienced, and the left is still getting a feel for new situation. I guess that's why I was sent here to learn how to balance it."

Rose folded her arms and nodded, "Someone with a reason to fight is a much more honerable oppenant then one without a reason." She said walking behind him, "You're left hand will be used for blocking. That blade covers the heart. She pointed to his left hand, "Your steady hand will attack myself." she flipped her hair over her shoulder and stepped out of view, choosing a long wooden staff and stepping back into the imaginary ring. "Today I choose the staff, it suits my mood. It's simple, honest and powerful." Large thorns could be see embedded in the wood.
