QUIZ START: After waking, you departed from the House of Salvation, headed towards the mountain which loomed in the distance,
"Oh, Raine, I wanted to ask you something." you ask,
"Yes?"
"Could you teach me healing arts?"
"Hm?" she tilted her head slightly to the side,
"I want to learn how to heal. I want to be able to help others..."
"If it means that much to you. I will teach you healing arts."
"Thank you, Professor." you say gratefully. She gave you an understanding smile,
"You're a lot more eager to learn than Lloyd, that's for sure."
"I heard that!" Lloyd called in an annoyed tone. You and the Professor giggled quietly, and continued walking despite Lloyd's annoyed glare. As you walked you turned your eyes up towards the sky; due to the fact you weren't looking where you were going, you tripped on a rock and fell to the ground,
"Colette moment!" Sheena laughed,
"Very funny." you respond,
"You need to watch where you're going." Kratos told you as you stand up and brush yourself off.
"I know, I know."
"Sheena, what did you mean Colette moment?" asked Colette curiously. Sheena gave her a pitying look, so did you and everybody else. "What?"
"Nothing. Let's go."
After climbing up to the top of Hakonieshia Peak, Genis located the site that you had used to camp out on your previous journey over the mountain. Though the sun had only started to set, you decide to stay the night there. You took a seat under a tree, Noishe curled up next to you for a nap.
"Hey, Aura," Sheena approached you, taking the space on your other side,
"Hi Sheena." you greet. After the two of you sat for a few minutes, she began to snicker, "What?" you ask
"Just thinking about afew days ago." she teased with a sly smile,
"B-be quiet!" you exclaim, pushing her playfully. She laughed lightly,
"I guess Kratos is a pretty nice guy, but he doesn't really talk that much. He's like the Strong silent type." Sheena commented with a nod. She watched Raine, Colette, and Genis sitting by the fire, Kratos and Lloyd practicing sword fighting in the background.
"He talks to me." you voice, "...More than anyone else anyway."
"Kratos really likes you." the ninja nodded, "You should tell him how you feel." you look back towards the two duelers as Kratos delt Lloyd a sound smack to his side with one of the sticks that they practiced with,
"I-...I cant." you tell Sheena, looking at her "I'm too nervous..."
"Hm...how about...I tell him for you?"
"What?!"
"Come on." she suggested, elbowing you in the ribs, "You're so nervous, how about I tell him how you feel?"
"No, no, no!!!" you argue. "That would be even worse!" she smiled understandingly at you, and put an arm around yoru shoulders,
"Then...how about I set up away for the both of you to be able to spend some time together? So you can talk or something?"
"Um..." you mumble unsurely. She ruffled your hair in a friendly way;
"Come on!" you struggle playfully, laughing,
"Hahaha--Fine...! Fine!" you agree with a laugh. You smoothed out your hair as Raine called to you,
"Sheena. Aura. Come back to camp, it's starting to get dark and we're going to eat soon."
"Coming." you call. After standing you both decided to let Noishe sleep where he was. As you began walking back to camp you heard a cry,
"Ow!" Lloyd had gotten a sound hit in the shoulder, from the stick Kratos was using as a makeshift sword.
"Keep your guard up Lloyd. An attack can come from anywhere, you must always be ready for anything." Kratos told calmly, lowering his 'sword' to his side. Lloyd rubbed his shoulder and muttered something; probably saying something bad about Kratos. The Mercenary sighed quietly and shook his head,
"That is enough for today, Lloyd." he told the boy .Lloyd threw away the two sticks he used as swords gratefully. He returned to the fire and sunk down next to Colette. Kratos threw his stick in the forest as well, then moved back to the campsite.
"How'd training go?" you ask as Kratos stretched out his hand, not used to holding a weapon as thin as a stick
"As expected." Kratos responded simply.
"Oh, Raine, I wanted to ask you something." you ask,
"Yes?"
"Could you teach me healing arts?"
"Hm?" she tilted her head slightly to the side,
"I want to learn how to heal. I want to be able to help others..."
"If it means that much to you. I will teach you healing arts."
"Thank you, Professor." you say gratefully. She gave you an understanding smile,
