Hel laughed once more. “For the last time, yes, I’m certain, friend!” She replied, nudging the Baku with an elbow playfully. “Just let me know what times work best for you, and we’ll set up a schedule, yes?” It was important to train regularly! When Xiu mentioned doing something for her in return, the reaper just gave a dismissive wave of her hand. “Seeing you improve is payment enough.”
The ghoul grinned at Xiu when her mouth fell open, feeling even more proud (if that was possible) of her race’s ability. Hel nodded her head firmly. “Yes.” She replied, “Many times in battle, it is how valkyries will start their assault.” Oddly enough, whatever spar or spat Hel got in to, she didn’t lament, at least not yet. The brute in an apron was content to just charge right in with a battle cry for now.

Giggling when she was playfully elbowed, the Baku grinned and nodded enthusiastically. "Sure! And...thank you very much, Hel!" She scrambled to her feet for a moment so that she could bow, and then promptly knelt back down on the ground. As for a time...they would have to set up a schedule later on. Perhaps once a week in the evenings? Frightdays, maybe?
Hmm, they would have to talk this through and figure out a time good for both of them. And despite Hel's insistence that she didn't need payment, Xiu made a mental note to make her something nice (and, with some advice, perhaps buy the other ghoul a nice gift).
"That's very impressive!" Xiu smiled, the look of amazement still on her face, "I...I'm kind of envious!" Dream diving was an interesting ability, yes, but it really wasn't all that effective in battle!

“You’re most welcome…” The reaper blinked when Xiu stood quickly and then bowed to her. Uh…Hel rubbed the back of her neck briefly, and gave another dismissive wave at the Baku. “It’s alright, really!” She chuckled, not at all use to being thanked like that.
Hel beamed at Xiu, and then gave a small shake of her head. “You flatter me, friend, but don’t be! We each have been given our own gifts and talents that play their own role in the grand scheme of things.” It was here that the reaper let out another large yawn. “…Ah, I suppose I should head back, lest I fall asleep out here again, eh?” The reaper reached out and patted Xiu on the head. “It was good seeing you, friend! I will see you soon, yes?”

...Would it be too awkward? ...Maybe she shouldn't. B-but surely there was no harm in--
After a little bit of debate, the Baku timidly reached out to give the reaper a hug, and then quickly drew back with a small, embarrassed smile on her face. Honestly, she was just ecstatic that anyone would offer to help her with her ability--she had never expected anyone to want to help her! Instead of voicing this aloud, however, Xiu simply nodded at Hel's words, wagging her tail happily. "Y-yes! Please do get some rest! I'll um...I'll call you soon to plan the...the practice sessions?"
"Thank you for today!" Xiu pushed herself to her feet, figuring that she had best be off too. "I-I'll see you around, Hel!" With another low bow, she turned and trotted off in the direction of the demon dorms.

Hel just blinked again, as Xiu seemed to be hesitant about something, until she felt small arms around her. The reaper paused for only a moment before grinning widely, and her two toned arms reached out to wrap tightly around the ghoul in return, in a brief hug as well. She released the ghoul when she drew back, and then pushed herself to her feet, tucking the leather she was braiding into an apron pocket. “Sounds like a plan, friend! I will be anticipating your call!” Hel made a note to actually find her phone when she got back to her room, and leave it somewhere easily accessible this time.
“You’re welcome!” She smiled widely at Xiu, waving at the ghoul’s retreating form before spinning on her heel and returning to the reaper dorms as well. Time to locate that blasted phone, and then hit the hay!
