Mark has led Eliott to Tutorial! He doesn't seem to mind the fact that she had been lagging behind.

Once inside, he moves to stand next to the control panel, looking down at it silently.

"What are you doing?" she asks, looking down at the panel as well.

"I'm used to coming in here to start up the robots for training."

He says, slowly looking up towards her.

"It's... strange, to be in here for another reason."

"Would it make you more comfortable if you got to fight one first?" she asks neutrally.

"I think it's more muscle memory."

He hesitates. After all, the idea is... tempting. It's what he does.

"I would prefer to know more about you."

Coming from him, that was flattering.

"Alright..." she mumbles, moving to sit in the stands. At least it was semi comfortable.

Like a faithful puppy, Mark follows after her.

A staring puppy, who just kind of stands there.

He has no idea how to start.

"Sit down, I don't like you looming over me." she says, looking at anything but him.

"Understood."

Mark sits on the floor near her, hands supporting his upper body while his legs are splayed out.

"....next to me." she groans.

Mental screaming.

....this is confusing.

Mark slides over so he's right next to the stand, basically at her feet.

"It's uncomfortable."

He says, like it's obvious.

"I was told that getting too comfortable makes a person soft. There should always be a level of discomfort, something to toughen your body."

Mark stands up immediately!

Then moves to her other side to sit down in the stands with her, since he remembers she wanted him to sit.

...unless this is another thing he's misread.

For once Mark, you got it right.

Eliott gives him a taste of his own medicine and just stares at him.

Mark stares back.

This feels... a little uncomfortable.

His father would be pleased.

"Tell me about yourself."

Well THIS she can do.

"My name is Eliott Knight, daughter of Heather Faye and Julie Knight, created through artificial insemination. I was always a brilliant child and straight A student in the subjects that mattered. For a long time I showed an affinity towards machines and robots, but proved to be exceptional in all aspects of engineering. Actually, I was exceptional in many creative subjects as I happen to be skilled in sewing and crafts. I have a high score in online tetris and created my first real robot, on my own of my own design, when I was 8. It was a present for my mother and it made her coffee in the morning. I joined Paradigm when I was 11, as a student, and have been here until now."

Mark listens to every word, even the parts that he doesn't quite understand. She was much more... varied, than he was.

"You've always been able to work with robots."

It's not a question.

"And have been around technology all your life."

He's picking out parts to remember.

"You are proud."

"Much like yourself and your strength." she says thoughtfully.

"I suppose in some ways we're the same, the focus is just...opposite."

"I agree."

Mark finds himself watching her face.

"Although, I think your goal is obtainable. I'll never truly be the strongest."
