Welcome to Gaia! ::

“Miss Kokonoe, don't treat me like a child. I don't have to be either of y'alls age to understand what you're talking about. It's a pleasure to meet you though. Tager-sensei, I'm gonna get back to making the main engine. Please deal with whatever her issue is,” Jacoby stated in a calm tone before sliding his headphones back up, dropping the visor and jumping up a bit higher. A bunch of sparks started raining down from where he was, his automaton making a slight waving motion before floating up to him.

Tager rose his hands in a defensive position. "Kokonoe, you have to realize that i'm not one of your experiments....." He said feeling like he had to argue about this a hundred times. "I'm sorry if Jubei had to lead you here, but even he does not walk around like he owns me." Tager said lowering his hands, taking the offensive front.

"And as for Jacoby, he is prideful at times but he does have the experience to back it up, so don't underestimate him." He said in pure respect and defense of his student. Jake was not just talk and Tager recognized that clearly, he was happy to have such a prodigy for a student.

Snatching his headphones off, Jake leaned over the edge of the part of the main engine he'd been working on only to direct a sharp glare at Kokonoe. She was going to regret having busted his headphones.

“Oi Pinky! Piss off if you're not gonna help out! I don't give ten shits who you think you are, but you owe me a new set of headphones that can function like this one can even if you gotta build it from scratch like I did three years ago,” the boy growled irritably as he dropped down to where she was. Fox wasn't going to like the fact that he was using such language let alone the fact that he was disrespecting someone older than him, but he honestly didn't care right now. He was getting more and more irritated by this woman thinking she was the big IT factor.
Shoving his headphones into her hands, he quickly swapped it for the little button thing she'd pressed.
“Get working, useless! I need something more entertaining than your stupid Fran Fine voice echoing around me as I work or I'll start tearing things apart out of irritation. The only thing you own is an ego that's too big to fit in that ridiculously large cranium of yours. I wonder if you have your own gravitational pull around it. Just because you saved his life doesn't mean you own him. He just owes you a debt of saving your life. Get a clue, lady. You don't run the world. You're gonna end up dead just like the rest of us. Nothing lives forever. The automaton you gave me short-circuited also, Tager-sensei so I'll just go solo without it helping me,” he growled in response before opening the little switch box with his claws and examining the contents inside.
A few minutes later, he fiddled with the wires a bit only pausing to blow a hair out of his face. Sliding his laptop out of his bag, he attached a couple of wires from the switch box to some odd device in the back and started tapping relatively quickly as if writing a story although he had most just numbers, symbols and letters jumbled up together. She'd have to get over a nine-year-old thirteen-tailed spirit fox hacking her electronics.

Tager stood up, pushing past his warping stomach's feeling. "Jake...can you help me find my other hand...." He said hoping he could get him off from the useless device kokonoe left behind. She said the things he was afraid to say, it was true that there was somethings you could only learn through time, life lessons, so to speak. But Tager just wanted to calm his student down right now. "We have done enough work today." He did not care about the headphones or the auto Kokonoe shortcircuted, he just wanted to help Jake.

Tager nodded at him, and put his arm on his shoulder. "I heard from a friend of mine, that respect is not taken or given naturally, it is earned through your determination and hard work." He smiled as he looked at him. "They just don't recognize you yet, lashing out only proves them right, if you want to be recognized, you have to realize that there is always more to learn, that there is always more to gain in life and break the limits that are presented in front of you. Fight on for your own success not for what others make of you. Find what makes you happy." He said in simple reply to him. "I believe in you, thought I doubt that you believe in me, you still believe in yourself. Know your own potential and use it to your full ability, held back by no one."

He wanted Jake to exceed further than him, above when he lived and further on, to carry on his dreams and to help those with dreams that were to come. "It does not matter how people see you now, I just want you to grow up and have them realize that they thought wrong about you. To go beyond what they thought of you, and be a example of the next generation, got it?!" Tager said proudly in his best attempt to supply his student with his grandest most inspiring words possible.

Tager felt a unsuppresable feeling of pride as a teacher welling up inside of him as Jake hugged him. A bright feeling that he was able to put a positive impact on someone. It was nearly to explode out of him in cheer. "Nothing you said will leave this ship." He said happily to Jake, willing to keep it a secret as Jake continued to work on his arms. "And as for Kokonoe, I agree, She can be a bit surly, but she has some abandonment issues, so it might be understandable if she said some uncivilized things when she first came in here."
