Setting: Room 2-09 backdated to the 6th October
Format: Prose
Summary: Shion goes to give Elena back her gun and apologise
Warnings: Mentions of terrible things ala Ganondorf and torture and stuff.

Shion took a deep breath, the fear that had been completely absent when he had first taken the gun he now held in his hand and marched up to face off Ganondorf a week ago was back with a vengeance. This had to be done though, he had to apologise and face her eventually.

Reno had forgiven him, like he usually did whenever Shion messed up; Shion wasn't sure what to feel about that but it was reassuring. But Reno wasn't Elena, Elena was terrifying and Shion didn't think she would forgive him as easily.

Taking a deep breath he raised his hand and knocked on the door.

If she was one thing, Elena was patient. Having to have managed working with Reno and Rude under their previous circumstances, she had to be. And she understood exactly where Shion was - she'd been there too. And her life had been in equally perilous danger - it was not safe to hang upside down against the side of a mountain.

Squatting down, her hands staying firmly on his shoulders, she gave a little nod. "Good. Reno was right about picking you. You've got the passion, we just have to teach you the skills. And between the two of us, you'll do just fine. So long as you try your hardest."

Shion blushed, since Elena was the one who had been so angry that Reno had chosen him to hear her say that shocked him, he smiled. "I will Elena! I'll try my best!"

A little smile, amused with the little blush and smile that made Shion all the more endearing, crossed her features. It was no hidden fact that she had questioned Reno's choices as recruits. They - Shion and Xion - were young and innocent children. But, in the short time she'd been with them, there was no denying that they had potential.

"You better. Because neither Reno nor I will go soft on you. That's not how we were trained and we won't treat you any differently. Once we're done with you, Shion, you'll be just as effective as us."

Standing, she released her hands from his shoulders, and put her hands on her hips. "Now. How about we start our training in one week?"

"I know." Shion didn't want to be treated any differently, he had spent his whole life being soft, not knowing things. Not being able to fight for himself. Being a burden on others who had to protect him.

Except that thought was too close to the accusations the drones had thrown at him, and he had to concentrate hard to make the image of Rat dying over and over again leave his mind.

He nodded, "Alright."
