“You want me to… train with you? That doesn’t make sense, that’s not logical there’s no benefit for you, it’d just end up with me knowing more and as you said, you believe that we’re on opposite sides of the law,” Orion responded, intrigued but wanting to understand both how it would benefit him and why they would make an offer that doesn’t seem to give them anything.

He smiled weakly at the antics between Aery and the boys, confused and slightly envious of the way they treated each other. Then again, Orion reminded himself, they don’t have what he has either. That made Orion feel a little bit better, burying away that tiny longing for companionship that so often irritates him. "If I'm going to be doing this I'm not learning how to use any weapons, hate fighting with anything but my body. And I'm not teaching you any Lerdrit, maybe a bit of Aikido if you don't already know that, then again knowing you Americans you probably just know your westernised karate and kung fu and if we're lucky jiu jitsu," he responded, proud of his own Canadian heritage. Orion then noted the Americans' stereotype for Canadians, and compared it to himself. He stifled the grin at that but stayed amused.
