[ Ah, it's pretty heavy, and Weiss seems to realise that she's oversharing with someone she's just met. She smiles at him instead of answering the question directly. ]
It's probably better not knowing. I didn't mean to dump my grievance on you.
[ Well, Keito's not about to insist that it's fine for her to tell him more, but he can least make sure she knows he's not upset about what he's heard so far. ]
It's fine. If that's the sort of school you went to then it only makes sense that it would come up.
[ And then, in an effort to get things back onto a happier subject... ]
I fully intend to keep pursuing my career here, though - so you can seek me out if you're ever interested in discussing music further, if you want to speak to others that know it as well.
[ Hm! Would you look at that. A smile graces Weiss' face now that her hand is free. It's not meant to offend—she had a pleasant chat—but she would much prefer having two hands to use. ]
It looks like it.
... And it's a good reminder to be careful with what you touch.

I studied in an academy for future Huntsmen and Huntresses. It's not the same as singing and dancing, but we had a lot of combat training.
[ So... it's kind of the same?? Just different subjects! ]
That sounds cool, though. I'm almost jealous.

Combat...?
[ For some sort of hunter training, no less? ]
I'd say that's a little more than 'not the same'. I don't think anything I've learned has prepared me for a fight.
[ There was a 'war', sure, but that was mostly a psychological thing. ]

[ After knowing the situation of her world and after being here? She... kind of wants to have a normal life. ]
I wish I didn't have to fight anymore.

Is there a reason you can't stop?
[ The answer seems obvious to him - of course she can't or she just would - but he's not about to make any assumptions here. ]

Sure. Maybe we can play or sing together some time, too.
[ :)!!! Performing here is fun, so! Maybe he'll enjoy it here, too. ]
no subject
I'd like that a lot. It's nice to find people with common interests.
[ Out of curiosity he loosens his grip on Weiss's hand, and despite her enjoyable company he's relieved when he's finally able to look go. ]
I guess we satisfied whatever requirement the tree had for us.
