The reply was short and simple, close to walking out, but not before retrieving a fruit from a fruit bowl, seemingly to snack on. As the pair walked ob, he began to get a taste for the fox's honesty, giving a slow nod. "Well, irregardless of how romantic or platonic, you don't get anything until you can prove to me you deserve it. I won't hand you something so easily as you are." His voice spoke coldly, as he looked down at the fruit, before glancing back to her. "You sure sound like you have a wild and vivid imagination... Hmph. I'm not at liberty to discuss those particular qualities with you, so keep letting your thoughts wander; It'll only make your next task harder... Or easier, depending on your outlook."<br/><br/>"... Hm, is that what you'd consider a burden? Well then, we'll see what happens, won't we?" Not just ominous, but it seemed as if he was intentionally leaving her in the dark as for what he had planned. The sound of others training in the building began to slowly die away the further out they walked, with nothing but cool air to blow against them. She asked them not to go too far, but Albion simply wouldn't have it. They would walk far enough until the only things that could be heard were their footsteps in the grass and the wind blowing said grass.<br/><br/>"... Are you scared? That should be the gravity setting in... But don't worry, your 'friend' won't have to concern themselves with what happens." He finished, stopping and turning around to show her the apple he'd taken. "Your task is simple: Shatter the apple, and you're done for the day. It's a smaller target than usual, so you'll have to take care, especially with the occasional gusts of wind. Even a minor billowing can throw your aim off. A shot anywhere else means you'll need to shoot again. No ammo limit this time, your task is complete if you shatter the apple..." He spoke, moving toward a wooden stand as if to perch the apple upon it...<br/><br/>Before he turned around and placed the apple atop his head gingerly. "... And fails if I die. Begin when ready." He spoke, staring at Nerissa with a look of dead seriousness on his face.
