"Uhh....okay."
Panta lightly jogs forward, unsure of where to go.
"Where am I going?"

[i]Irina followed with her own jog, lightly attempting to push Panta - not in a tripping manner, but in an encouraging one.[/i] "Let's just head out of the Dojo and into Dojoville, or whatever remains of it. You lead the way, so...do what you want, but actually put some effort into it.."
-
"Uhh....Okay?" Panta sounded a bit confused, but led the way regardless. By the time they got to Dojoville she was out of breath and panting.

-
"Wha-You're not?!" Panta shakes her head. "I-I can keep going!"
-
"Then keep going! It won't be this easy, now!" [i]Irina's voice raised, although she was being more encouraging thang anything. She had continued to jog beside Panta, although she was ready to catch the little girl at any time.[/i]
-
Panta kept running, obviously already tired. She kept up her running for a few more minutes before stumbling from exhaustion, but she just got back up and tried to keep going.
-
[i]Irina caught the girl as she fell, still jogging beside her and saying quite encouraging things. After a couple of minutes, she stopped Pan, placing her hand upon Pan's shoulder.[/i] "You're good. Really. But we'll have to get used to this."
-
Panta started to tip over and wrapped her arms around Irina to stop herself from collapsing completely. "Y-Yeah?" She breathed heavily, her vision spun, and her legs feet numb. Her non-existent athleticism was obvious.
-
"Hey, it's fine... I probably should've brought you a water bottle, but.." [i]Irina then lifted up Panta - she couldn't really help herself, the girl looked like she'd pass out at any moment, and...well, she was nicer than beforehand.[/i] "It's fine. Wanna head back?"
-
"I....can....keep....going...." She said between breaths. The poor girl couldn't go any further, but she sounded like she would try to anyway.
-
"...At least you're confident in your ability. It's fine, Pan. It's your first try at running, you'll get use to it." [i]Irina chuckled a little to herself, as she carried the girl up to the Dojo. About fifteen minutes later, and they were in Courtyard A1 again, sitting against a bench and resting.[/i] "So. I hope you're ready to continue tomorrow? I'll...try to take it a bit slower. Sorry, just...didn't know that you couldn't run that far. Still, it's impressive."
-
Panta leans on Irina a little and smiles widely. "Thanks, Irina! I hope I'll get better." She hugs the older woman.
-
"Hey, you will-" [i]Irina went silent as Pan hugged her, but sighed in an almost relieved manner, hugging the little girl back.[/i] "...You'll get better. I'm sure of it."

Edited by Stitch: 5/1/2017 11:07:46 AM"Thanks! Like I said, I'll try my very best! Maybe even better than that!" Panta smiles up at Irina, happiness and determination clearly seen in her eyes.
-
"Yeah...here," [i]Irina took a small bottle of water from her pocket, handing it to Pan.[/i] "Sorry for not giving you it earlier, didn't think about it."
-
Panta takes it and shrugs. "It's okay." She opens it and drinks half of it in a matter of seconds.
-
Edited by Orn: 5/2/2017 10:54:42 AM[i]Irina's eyebrows raised a little as Panta drunk most of the bottle, although she chuckled a little too.[/i] "Y'know, you're supposed to take a sip from canisters, not chug down everything. It's fine, though. So...anything you want to do? I'm free, for...every day, least for the moment."

Edited by Stitch: 5/2/2017 1:17:53 PM"I dunno. I've just been roaming around since Isaac left. I picked some flowers for Grant and I'll do the same for Isaac when he returns. I don't have any hobbies." Panta shrugs, not really sure what to do.
-
"I can help you pick flowers, Y'know. You wanna get started?" [i]Irina looked down at Panta with a smile, crossing her legs as she leaned against her seat. She didn't mind picking flowers with a teenage kid. It just..didn't effect her.[/i]
-
"If I picked them for him now they'd die before he came back." Panta sighed and looked around. "I never stay in one place this long..."
-
"I guess you're suited for wandering, then...I'm the same, so is Isaac. He can't stand staying in the same spot for long, maybe when he's older, he'll...settle down."
-
"I don't think I ever will. I love seeing new things and having unique experiences. I love making friends and randomly helping others....My real mother told me that was my one fault...I care too much." Panta stared down at the ground.
-
[i]Irina wrapped her cybernetic arm around the girl, warm metal pressed against Panta's neck as she nodded.[/i] "It is. But it is an admirable thing. I'm happy that you didn't take a path where you would end up like...like me."
-
"I just wish I could put myself first for once. I'm a doormat. Anyone could ask almost anything of me and I'd have a hard time saying no." Panta leans on Irina and her smile turns to a blank expression.

Edited by Orn: 5/6/2017 8:06:20 PM"...I see. I wouldn't know how it feels, but...I'd help if I did. And I'll help still, knowing that you feel that way." [i]Irina quietly spoke in a whisper, twirling locks into Pan's hair softly, metallic fingers running through the blonde hair in a caring manner.[/i]
