A violent cringe shot through Pyotr's body as YukiHana came up with a revised nickname. [b]'P-please, spare me... Tell you what, call me Aki. That's my real name; Akiko.'[/b] For some reason real names had become taboo in SAO culture, for the lack of a better term. Pyotr was like to call it a form of escapism; if no-one talked about their real-life selves then maybe they would magically forget about their situation or some such bollocks... Personally she preferred to use her real name, at least with people she knew. And she suspected that she would get to know this kid [i]very[/i] well in the coming months. [b]'So we've decided, yes? I'm Aki and you're midget. Or Yuki. Yeah, let's go with Yuki.'[/b] Her amusement at the girl's reaction didn't last into YukiHana's offer to fight. It was an awkward situation; she obviously wasn't family so didn't have any real authority over the child, but nevertheless Pyotr felt a distinct responsibility for her safety. If it were up to her, she'd lock the kid up in the Town of Beginnings in one of the player-run orphanages. Sadly, it wasn't her choice. [b]'So... you really think you can fight then? Without getting scared? Tell you what, I know a good place nearby where we can test things out.'[/b] Tsukiya may have wanted to go grind for levels, but Pyotr was more concerned with item drops when hunting. Just outside of the town there was a little used copse of trees, rich in a certain kind of boar. They were more critters than mobs, well below the average strength of the area; they would make for good practice dummies to gauge YukiHana's fighting ability while also dropping useful meat and leather. Two pigs with one stone.
