So it seemed like her consumption of sweets was a sore point...

Well, learn something new every day, right? Still, that wasn't exactly something I'd have expected out of her. Being honest, I wouldn't have expected many sore points at all outside of "Napoli's existence" and "anything that harms Bianca", but I guess that's what I got for thinking I could perfectly read a person after knowing them for a week or two.

Granted, those couple of weeks felt like an eternity, so maybe my whole perception of time is screwy in general. It wouldn't have been the first time I'd lost track of everything.

Well, never mind that.

[b]"Ah, so you both are familiar with polearms, then? That's pretty helpful. I'm sure I can't exactly bug your sister about it, but if you wouldn't mind, I'd like to pick your brain about how to use them some time."[/b]

My plate was now clean. Good breakfast all around, and one that provided the brain with the necessary energy to start working at full capacity again.

Which included remembering just who exactly I was talking to.

[b]"Not that I'm asking you to teach me, I mean. That'd take up too much time, and it's a lot to request of anyone— more along the lines of some pointers, or sort of 'cross-referencing' every so often to make sure I've got everything straight."[/b]

I couldn't imagine her being too happy about the idea having to stack weaponry tutelage on top of being my math cheatsheet. Even as a friend, it'd feel way too much like just using her, which wasn't my idea of a good time.

Wait, that didn't sound right at all.
