Hello! Um, my name's Sakura Kinomoto and I'm twelve years old. I was assigned as a cleaning technician here. It's tough work, but I've been doing my best! [She smiles enthusiastically while trying to put on a brave face. ]

I need to pull my weight around too so I'd like to ask for a favor. [Admittedly she was a little nervous about asking for a request. There wasn't much she could do in return, after all.]

Would anyone mind teaching me something? It could be anything really. I mean... I want to learn a whole lot of things like music and art or poetry! It might be fun to learn in a group.  I used to learn a lot in school before. Look at this trick!

[Sakura spins a baton up high until it inevitably drops on her head.]

Ack! It wasn't supposed to turn out that way. F-Forget you saw that last part!

[ He wrestled with responding to this for a couple of years.

Foremost, her age, she was rather young. Still, how did the saying go? Never too young to learn? ]

Have you considered learning any first aid?

[reseal]

I have thought about it before. The most I can do is patch up a small cut or bruise.

Are you an expert at first aid mister?

[ She could learn from Adrien if he was willing. ]

[prayed]

[She can't resist teasing a little bit here.]

I can teach you how to not smack yourself in the head with a baton.

[reseal]

You can????? Sometimes I mess up when I throw it in the air like that. It's embarrassing.

How would you do it?

[ Her face is beat with red but Kyoko can't see it because they're over text! ]

[Oh no more kids heh how cute

Literally a 12 year old she's tryin so hard

on this dangerous-ass ship omg no]

How about self-defense?

VIDEO

[reseal]

I can kind of use a sword.

It's not really much but it's something. [ Sakura puffs her cheeks together because she doesn't think she's that weak. Well, she's seen first hand what can happen on this ship so learning more wouldn't hurt. ]

Is that no good here?

It's nice to meet you, Sakura. I'm Leia Organa.

[Poor kid. Leia's still lowkey irate that children are being dragged onto the Moira and put to work--and if this one is new, their next destinations are likely to be a rude awakening after all this luxury. If helping her learn something will help her feel more at home, it's the least anyone can do for her.]

We have some teachers here--the one I know could give you language lessons. [Go be Obi-Wan's Mando'a padawan, little Sakura, it'll be fun.] I could teach you a few things, too, if you want. Do you know how to give a speech?

[reseal]

Hello Ms Leia!

I took some classes on how to write speeches before in school. If you could help me improve I'd really appreciate it! You're so nice, but there isn't much I can do in return. Is it okay?

[ A look of concern makes its way to Sakura's face. It doesn't seem fair to her to get something without giving in return. ]

[heelys]

Was it supposed to hit you on the head?

video;

[reseal]

No, it wasn't! I was supposed to catch it but then I messed up the last part!

This happens to me often.

[ She rubs the top of her head sheepishly. IT HURTS OKAY. ]

[songoftime]

I can teach you music.

[Link's attention was drawn from the moment Sakura stated her age, but the moment she mentioned music he knew he had to speak up. Someone is already offering to teach her self-defense, and that's the only thing he really knows how to teach, thanks to his job. But music? He thinks he can do that.]

We can buy instruments at BF3, so we can play together.

[reseal]

Okay, that sounds great!

What kinds of instruments are we going to use? Do you have a favorite?

[ Music is always pretty as far as Sakura's concerned. ]

voice;

[kidjoy]

They taught you music and art in school?

[She'd never heard of a school letting kids do anything fun like that. Mostly because she barely knew what school was.]

voice;

[reseal]

They did! You can learn lots of subjects at school where I'm from.

I don't like math very much. Are you good at it?

[ Ew math. ]

[bosswald]

[Twelve is so young to be here. And be so eager to work hard and learn things, too. It reminds Clara a bit of herself at that age, which puts a smile on her face.]

I could help with the baton work, if you'd like. I never trained, but I'm not hopeless or anything. I might be able to help you perfect that trick. I'm also meaning to make a star map while I'm here. I could teach you how to assist me.

[reseal]

Thank you so much! I really need to practice using my baton. It's really during festivals back home. [ Sakura's a bit of klutz so a second hand would help immensely. ]

A star map? What kinds of things are you recording? I'd love to help out!

[accidentalqueen]

I have taught before.

[ Including on this very ship. ]

Once I was responsible for education of large groups both here and at home. What is it you are most eager to learn?

video;

[reseal]

Gymnastics! I want to learn how to flip and run really fast.

It might be hard to run on the ship though.

[ One time she tried and it didn't work out. ]

[coolskeletonnyehntyfive]

That was a great trick!

[Have a large skeleton. One who sounds completely sincere. If he knows she messed it up, it doesn't show.

He likes her already. She's determined and she's trying extra hard, and he likes to see that.]

Nice to meet you, Sakura Kinomoto! My name is Papyrus, and I'm great at a lot of things! Like being cool, and using magic, and being great! What would you like to learn?

[reseal]

Hello Mr.Papyrus! Thank you! [ It was sweet of him to ignore that she completely messed up. Her effort was recognized so she smiles widely. ]

You know how to use magic too? I've only met a few people who could do that.

[warandpeace]

I saw Link was willing to teach you music. He has that covered anyway. But if you want to learn guitar, too. I could teach you that.

Or also what plants are safe to eat in the wilderness. But that's not really relevant here.

[reseal]

Whoa, you have many talents mister. [ There's a loud audible sound of astonishment coming out of Sakura. ]

I'm very impressed! You never know what might happen around these parts. Would you mind teaching me how to pick edible plants outside?

[forfeits]

Yikes, you okay? I'm trying to learn some things here, too, so maybe there's something we both know and can teach each other. Especially since you're new here.

[ He's young, too, at least. He's sixteen, though, and trying to be helpful. He remembers how disorienting his first month or so here was. ]

[reseal]

Everything's going to be alright!

[ Sakura gives Edward a thumbs up to prove that she's fine. It's just a little bump too, nothing to worry about. Happens all the time back home, unfortunately. She could learn how to gain some dexterity. ]

What are you trying to learn here? I dunno if I could be much help, but I want to lend a hand too!

[beautifulspaceraptor]

If you want to learn a thing or two about engines or something, give me a heads up. Don't come down to the engines without notifying anyone. Engineers are very skittish people.

Also, it's not awful safe.

[reseal]

I-I'll keep that in mind.

There's a lot of dangerous places in these parts aren't there?

[That's nothing new, honestly. It's still nice to be warned. ]

Look up a person named 'Megatron.' He loves to teach people all sorts of things. Very friendly guy.

[reseal]

Megatron! Okay.

I got it. Thank you for helping me out. Have we met before?
