OOC: JP between [@Winters], [@MK Blitzen]

“Clean up? I’ll be careful…” Serena said, taking a moment to let the gravity sink in. “But you wouldn’t a said I wasn’t ready if I wasn’t ready, on account of you don’t lie. So, it’s okay, Onii.” 

"It's not going to stop me from fretting." Vas said side eyeing his apprentice. "You are … but the first is always the hardest and it's something I can't prepare you for. Hell … I don't know what the mission is going to be." 

“Milk run, like you said,” She reminded him. “And if it goes sour, I have the best back-up.  Don’t worry, Onii-san. I won’t let you down,” She was going to boop him on the nose for emphasis, but that would be the opposite of focused reassurance. “And we’ll practice really hard between now and then.” 

"Serena, I don't think you understand. If you screw up on this I'm not there to rescue you." Vas emphasized.

Serena tilted her head. Vas didn’t lie, but on the same token, he’d proven there wasn’t a force in the Verse ‘could stop him if he she needed him. “But..”
 
"This is about you Serena, I will be there to watch your back and advise you but I cannot directly intervene." He stressed. "It's as near solo for an apprentice as it gets."

“Solo? I have to go solo? By myself? Alone? Without you? What happens if I can’t finish it?” She asked, tilting her head and shifting her weight from one foot to the other. 

"It depends." Vas said with a sigh.

“On?” Serena asked, tilting her head to the other side.

"If you get busted and can't fight your way out." Vas shrugged. "If you get bad intel? It happens … a number of things can go wrong but it won't matter because how you handle it is what's going to count. You fail a mission, you fail a mission, it will happen, it's going to happen. You surviving it? But it won't come down to that right?" Vas said redirecting the conversation.

Serena pushed the thought down. Way down, she didn’t want to think about not surviving. First time out was gonna be a milk run, he was being what was the word? [i]Foreshadowing? No. That wasn’t it. Foreboding![/i],  Foreboding so she’d take it serious. She’d show him serious. “Nope,” she replied. “On account of you said I’m ready, so… I am.” This time she did ‘boop’ him on the nose. “Honest and swear.” 

Vas was not amused. "This is why I need you focused." He said tugging a pigtail. Vas was more worried the gravity of what she would have to go through wasn't sinking in properly. Hopefully it would later maybe she just needed time to wrap her brain around it. "You being distracted even for a moment can get you killed. So … training isn't going to stop, you are going to be on point all day every day and will wait for when you think I'm not looking, or if you seem momentarily distracted … and hopefully I will only throw “something at your head." He said flatly. Vas wasn't trying to be an asshole …he was just trying to make sure she would come out of this whole. Well, mostly whole.
