[that awkward moment when she needs help with both of things things

But Lili is just pausing where she stands, stopping their walk for a second as she brings up her hand to hold onto her arm a little nervously. What does she want to be taught? Yeah well.... everything, it sounds like. She's really and truly alone here. But to start?]

.... You're a sword, right? [Even if she's still yet to completely wrap her head around that.] So you know a lot about battles and fighting and... protecting what's important to you, right?

[Right? But she looks elsewhere for a moment, her shoulders hunching a bit.]

.... I just don't want to be a liability anymore. I know that I can't ask you to work miracles and I can't promise that you won't be wasting your time [what if she's truly hopeless?] but....

[But... she really doesn't have a lot of reasoning as to why he should help her. So instead she can only end her request with a quiet:]

Please?
