3/26; action; evening

[infezione]

[So. Today's sure been a day.

Once Fugo's completely sure Jusis isn't occupied with anything else for the evening, he goes to seek the man out, a couple of the day's acquisitions in hand.]

Mr. Albarea, can I ask you something?

[noblerise]

[To be fair, he'll drop everything for Fugo and Morgan. At any rate, Jusis is having a cup of tea and simply relaxing after a long day. He looks up as Fugo approaches.]

Certainly you can. How may I help you, Fugo?

[infezione]

[He fiddles briefly with the pen in his hand.]

Ash mentioned the ARCUS I got already, right? It... wasn't the only thing I ended up with that I didn't expect. Might be easier to show you that, I think.

[... With that, he's going to take a couple steps back before taking the cap off the pen and-- Yeah. That's a sword now.

He offers Jusis a sheepish smile.]

If I have this, I think I might as well learn to use it properly, don't you?

[noblerise]

[Jusis nods at the question about the ARCUS. He definitely heard about that. The blond looks curious when Fugo says that it's easier to show.

And boy is he right! He blinks for a moment and then smiles a little, touched. Jusis can't help remembering a time in which his past self, much younger, learned court fencing from his older brother.]

Agreed. I'd be happy to teach you court fencing, if that's what you'd like to learn. A sword disguised as a pen, hm... that's quite useful. Just be careful with it.

[He gives it some thought as he takes out his phone, pulling up his calendar.]

We can start this weekend, if you'd like, or we can work in lessons after school.

[infezione]

[Fugo's smile becomes a lot less sheepish.]

There's nobody else I'd rather learn from.

[He nods when Jusis tells him to be careful.]

Yeah, I'm planning on giving it an indicator of some sort so I don't accidentally go for it when I need a real pen...

[Because good lord that could end badly--]

I think I'd like to start this weekend.

[noblerise]

[Oh. That's... that's a warm feeling. Alright, so maybe to himself he'll admit that he wants to be a father to Fugo. Still, that's ultimately the kid's decision, so he keeps that thought to himself.]

That's an excellent idea. Perhaps we can add something textural to it, too.

[Jusis smiles and nods at that.]

Very well. We can start late morning, before lunch. That should give you the rest of the day for yourself.

[He's not about to be cruel and take away the teen's entire weekend.]

[infezione]

[He's going to just turn the sword back into a pen now.]

Oh, something textural would be a good idea...

[He nods, clearly excited.]

Works for me! I'll be looking forward to it. [A pause, as he gets sheepish again.] Although, I wouldn't mind if we did other stuff together the rest of the day too... if that's okay.

[He doesn't want to be a bother, but...]

[noblerise]

[Jusis doesn't have to think about it, really.]

I'd be more than happy to. We can talk about what we'd like to do over lunch, if it doesn't require earlier notice like a movie.

[It'll be nice to spend some time with his kid over the weekend!]

I'm looking forward to it.

[infezione]

[Oh, look how he visibly perks up.]

Great! I'm looking forward to it, too.
