โจโพโจThe tall girl walked through the front doors of Deathbucks and felt a little anxious because it was so crowded. There were still plenty of seats and tables but the amount of talking was a little overwhelming. She ordered her cappuccino before sitting down in an emptier room that was less raucous. Joan saved Rhett a seat across from her as the waitress brought her coffee out. "Have we ever done anything outside of school together before? I don't think so." Joan sounded uncertain as she struck up a conversation before taking a shallow sip. Her brain immediately began buzzing with a little caffeine and she smiled from the sensation. Even she was unsure what she was getting at by her awkward question but she was too distracted to regret it.

Rhett had come to be lagging slightly behind Joan, still wearing his rather business casual attire for a meister of his stature. The place was as crowded as ever, with people of young and old partaking in consuming likely copious amounts of caffeine to get through the day/. Or maybe some were just here for the banter. He wasn't the biggest fan of coffee but would still drink it in the morning every now and again. As Joan ordered her cappuccino, he'd follow with just something of hot chocolate. Once done, he'd follow his partner to the table and sit across from her while they had a moment to themselves. He could tell that Joan took training very seriously, a trait that he admired. "Not that I can think of." he admitted, taking a long sip of his drink while he stirred a bit in thought. "I don't really...talk to most other people. At least not back at my old school."

โจโพโจJoan sipped her coffee some more and smiled pleasantly. "Well Red, I guess I'm lucky that I can get you talking." She responded sweetly but she quickly felt insecure about sounding corny with her partner. "You did so well today. I think we'll be ready for a mission soon." Joan tried to change the subject quickly in an effort to subdue her awkward mood. She had a hard time making conversation about any matter that was not related to school. She tried to stay focused on socializing. As she continually tried to find a topic to talk about she just felt more uncomfortable. Was she supposed to talk about the weather? No, that was too trite. But what else was there? The weather doesn't sound like a fun topic but I don't want to just sit here quietly. Darn it, what else should I say? She thought frantically as she stared at Rhett. Was she staring too long? Was this creeping him out? It reminded her of when she had to go to galas with her family. She felt so awkward in a dress then and now she felt uncomfortable in a way that she could not describe. She sighed and looked down at the table before admitting her difficulties. Rhett had seen into her soul so there was no reason to not be transparent at this point. "Sorry Red, I'm trying to think of something to talk about, but I can't think of anything..." Joan admitted her difficulties before looking up at Rhett again with some guilt in her eyes.

"Sorry..." Rhett apologized weakly, looking into his cup of hot chocolate and bring it to his lips. A small sip would be taken, along with a small period of time of blowing bubbles into his cup during the silence. The two of them really could have been having a lover's fight for the amount of time neither of them would speak up about a subject. Rhett himself would rub his arm at one part while looking away from the table at one point, quietly wondering what was going through Joan's mind. She gazed at his form while Rhett felt like he was under inspection by some kind of corrections officer or something. After the longest two minutes of his life thus far, the redhead would be in some kind of position to lead the conversation. "Ah, it's okay. Um, I guess I can start." Rhett said, trying his best to offer an encouraging smile. "So, um, what did you do before coming to the DWMA?"

โจโพโจShe found his childish habit of blowing bubbles interesting as she looked at him. He was somewhat less mature than her but not in an annoying way. Of course, the conversation piece that he wanted to start with to break the tension was one of her least favorite subjects. Her past. Joan looked down again before taking a long swig of her coffee to wake herself up. "I'm surprised I know how to read at all with all the school I missed from my parents dragging me around to debutante balls." She rolled her eyes as she described what her life was like with parents who wanted to use her as a trophy. "it's nothing. I'm just glad I'm in the DWMA now. The DWMA is my life now." Joan gave Rhett a glimpse of why she was so focused on being a great weapon. She had spent years being forced into a ladylike mold that she could not fit into and it broke her. Now she had to pick up the pieces and focus on her new purpose as a sword putting a stop to the Kishins. "What about you?" Joan asked before lifting her coffee cup up again to take another drink.

Well, from what Joan had been talking about, her life hadn't been the extravagant kind that he had slightly only heard about. They likely had severely different childhoods, given that he had very few friends and spent most of his time inside away from others. By the sound of it, she had been the victim of going to celebration after celebration against her will. She'd pass the question onwards to him as Rhett would then move to set his cup down with a sullen exhale. He wasn't sure of what to reply with to her question. Should he just tell her the truth about his pathetic life or try and add a little embellishment to it? "Well, I..." he began, his eyes dawdling on her smile before then dropping almost immediately towards the table as he hesitated to speak. They were partners, so maybe she wouldn't judge him too harshly for being truthful just this once? "I didn't really talk to other people much." He admitted, frowning to himself while he could only shake his head in a quiet shame. "I didn't really have a lot of friends. My parents had money, but not enough to rub shoulders with the rich kids, and the others who did think I was loaded either used me or wanted nothing to do with me. So I just spent every day studying, doing homework, then after attending school, training. My last roommate didn't even know my first name for the first half of the quarter." He looked back up at Joan for her reaction, if any.
"We both seem like we're in a storybook, waiting for that happy ending, huh?" he mused, ending in a little smirk.

โจโพโจJoan felt sorry for her partner. He was frequently overlooked by his peers. A ghost who had to drift from opportunity to opportunity. There was more to life than money, as Joan was learning. This was a principle that her own parents neglected to impart on her. They were so consumed with materialism and their own reputations. It just all looked so pointless in the grand scheme of things. "You're so much more than what other people think of you." Joan reassured her partner with words that she needed to remind herself of on many occasions. When Rhett noted that they were waiting for a happily ever after she just smiled and nodded. "I guess so. I just...I want to be useful. I want to make the world a better place. The only times that I feel worthy is when I'm the sword resting in your hands." She felt steadfast and invincible when she was his sword. She hated having to embody the form of a woman. Her true purpose was that of a weapon that could destroy the corrupted souls of the DWMA's enemies who preyed on the innocent. "I think that's why I always want us to train. I'm much more comfortable like that. I've often dreamed of just turning into a sword and never changing back." Joan was at ease when she was with Rhett just focusing on their mission. She spoke from the heart and forgot to ask a question. Although she felt as though she did ask one by her tone. She wanted to know what Rhett's thoughts were on her predicament.

Rhett's big, squishy hearted ached upon seeing his partner like this. She was so much stronger than she ever knew, a facsimile that was all too obvious reflecting back upon himself. Still, the boy did feel some empathy towards her considering her last remark. To stay as a weapon permanently in his hands was beneficial, but Rhett was absolutely against the idea. He reached forward and grabbed a free hand, gently squeezing it as his eyes trailed up from the table to hers. For a moment, she could see that same fiery, steeled determination he had when wielding her as they trained. It made the fluttery, soft boy into a man whose resolve was second to none. "Don't ever say that." he told her. "We're partners, which means we help one another. If you're a sword all the time, then..." he sputtered off, that awkward Rhett she knew so well returning while he panicked and looked around to their drinks. "Who, er, will I take with me for drinks? Swords can't really eat or anything..."
โจโพโจ๏ผช๏ผฏ๏ผก๏ผฎ โฆโฝโฆ Level 1 | One Star | Weapon | Dual Alterer | Ruler | 100/100 Stamina
โจโพโจJoan was startled at first when Rhett put his hand over hers. Not in a bad way. It was actually rather thrilling and took her mind off her insecurities. She could not help but wonder why he was acting so...differently. It did remind her of how he behaved in training but never in a social situation. The way that he commanded her to believe in herself made her heart flutter. "Red..." Joan spoke in a flustered tone as his fiery eyes stared into her soul with paramount confidence. She placed her hand over her heart and indicated how flattered she was by his resolve about her. When he finished the sentiment with his usual awkwardness she was able to regain her composure. She squeezed his hand back but before she could respond vocally she looked up at the sky. The Sun had been sinking for a while now but now it was nighttime. The Moon itself began spitting madness onto the Earth. She let go of Rhett as they were interrupted by the changing events. Once she was on her feet she just shouted along with the other visitors of the cafe who were shocked. "Woah! Look at that!" The beam of madness was immense and was fired right into the center of town. When Lord Death sent out his message she would just nod and grab Rhett by the arm as they charged out of the coffee shop and headlong into the action.
