[ Making their way from the Garden Lobby to the Fisherman's Horizon inn are a boy and a girl, each with a course catalog tucked under their arms and matching confused faces. Their bodies are turned into each other slightly, enough to let onlookers know that they're friends. The girl's eyes keep darting about, whether in amazement or sheer surprise is difficult to tell. The boy looks warier, shoulders hunched, stooping like a silver gargoyle over his companion. At some points, the girl rushes into the fancy shops, leaving the boy alone on the street, his eyes snagging on every pooled shadow.

They're probably going to get epically lost. Help them out?

ooc: Feel free to tag either one or both of them--no guarantee Bun and I will be on at the same time, sadly. ]

[He nods.]

I hope you don't mind me asking, but you seem a little young to teach.

Battlefield medicine...? [ Kairi's interest is piqued! She was considering that specialization. She'll let Riku's question go first, though, since Yukio does seem young, if mature. ]

[spareglasses]

[Ah. That.

It's a query Yukio's run into enough--back home and here--that it earns the duo a weary smile.]

I've completed all of the necessary courses and credentials to teach here, and I'm honored that the administration is allowing me to do so. [He reaches inside his coat and produces an ID card, holding it out to them. Sure enough, it lists him both as a SeeD and instructor.] This will be my first time teaching here at the Garden, but I've been instructing others back home as well.

[He can tell what that expression is about. Poor guy must get hounded all the time about his age.]

Well, you certainly must be accomplished, Yukio. Good luck on getting used to teaching around here.

[ She feels a twinge of awkwardness at Riku's use of Yukio's first name, as if the obvious sign that his youth was often questioned made expressions of respect count more. But then he seemed close enough to Riku's age, and a boy as well, and she figured things might be different. ]

What did you teach back home? And, if you could...tell me more about the battlefield medicine major, I'd appreciate it.

[spareglasses]

Thanks. [He nods his head at Riku and then turns his attention to Kairi.] I taught anti-demon pharmacology. [Realizing how odd this may sound, he adds on some further explanation.] I was at a school that trains exorcists.

[Whether or not that actually makes it more understandable, he's... not entirely sure. Regardless, he presses onward.]

Is there anything specific you wanted to know more about? In general, the battlefield medicine major here has you learning both recovery magic as well as more traditional forms of medicine.
