[Apropos of nothing, towards the end of the return mingle...]

I'm in need of someone who wants to learn to become a ninja.

[This will surely end well.]

...wouldn't you say that not everyone can be a ninja, then? If someone doesn't have enough resolve, they wouldn't be able to manage it.

Resolve can be gained. [...he should know. he had none, when he was called back to Japan to fulfil his role as a Ninninger.] In the end, it's an individual decision. Nobody can be forced to want to dedicate themselves to this path, and those who do want to dedicate themselves often already have their resolve.

Oh. Alright.

So you're open to anyone trying? Will there be an audition? A quiz? An interview?

[Things need structure, after all.]

I...

[hadn't thought that far ahead. He literally only just threw down this challenge to Kinji when he addressed the Network.]

No. The training will speak for itself.

[auditions, quizzes, interviews... are all things that can make a person feel obliged to finish out whatever they were presenting themselves for. Yakumo, the most unwilling of his cousins to have become a ninja, will not be putting anyone into that position. That's what he's decided in this moment.]

Alright. I would like to try, then!

[Since that's how this is supposed to work and all.]

[wait really

Yakumo is

taken aback, a little, that literally anyone wants to actually become a ninja. this is somehow not what he expected.]

We'll begin once Liminal Space changes over. [that's an instruction, but it also has the tone of a question. are you sure about this dakki?]

[You shouldn't go asking for students if you're not prepared to get someone earnestly taking you up on the offer, Yakumo.]

Wonderful! Where should we meet up?

[And her tone gives no indication that she's picking up on his sudden uncertainty.]

I'll come find you once we're ready. Kinji's been working on a technique to increase his room's capacity... it shouldn't take him much longer.

Alright. Thank you! I'll be waiting.
