Kin flinched a bit at the response. "Oh, sweetie, you have got to work on how you say things....you're liable to make people cry talking like that....Don't think of it....That's what I do, just don't...think about it....and then you can maybe forget.....long enough to enjoy yourself....a little..." His voice trailed and stumbled a bit as she tried to shake the thought of the Carnival Corpse once more. That was why he never thought too deeply about things. There was so much bad just behind her, just under the surface.

"I'm sorry." The last thing he wanted to do was to say something upsetting, but he would not lie either. "Besides, asking me not to think is like asking me not to breath. It's impossible to live without either."

Kin nodded gloomily, the arm around Nero's waist tightening a little. "I Know....but just because you have to breathe...doesn't mean you gotta think about it right?...I breathe without thinking all the time..." It was honest. But Kin just preferred not to even acknowledge something that depressing. how could someone live thinking about negative things all the time? Kin knew she would go mad.

Nero wished he could forget, he always wanted to, yet the memory of his sister had always kept him motivated to keep fighting. Until he could step foot out of this prison, oppressing thoughts would not release it's hold on him. "I'll be fine," To Nero living with these memories had become common. He looked down to Kin as he asked, "But will you be?" It didn't matter what Nero was put through, he had been through hell and back, but he did not wish to see something happen to someone else.

Kin whimpered slightly at the question. It was making him think more than she liked to. "...I...I don't know...I guess I'll get over it once I'm used to it...but...I don't have a choice...Either I get used to it or go crazy....." His legs began shaking softly at the thought of what she would one day have to do. It was beginning to make him feel faint.

"With the right training you will be able to control yourself more." After saying that, Nero noticed the slight tremble of Kin's legs. Her face seemed pale almost like she had fallen ill. Nero placed a hand on her shoulder as he tilted his head slightly, "Are you alright?"

She began taking deep breaths to steady himself. "...fine really....I'm just....just really stressed out over all of this....It...it didn't seem really to me....until I started talking to you about it....I just...I was a seamstress before I came here....and....There's just...no sense in how they're treating us...." She knew he was rambling now, but there were so many thoughts that she was trying to keep at bay.

Nero stood there patiently. He understood the stress of this prison and the reality of it was enough to drive one mad. Instead of saying anything or trying to persuade Kin in to keeping everything in, he waited until everything plaguing her had been said. Some times it was better to let everything out. Besides Nero felt guilty making Kin so upset. He wasn't sure of what should be said other than, "Sorry."

Kin continued breathing to the best of her abilities and once more held Nero close in his arms, burying her face into his chest and coat, trying to find some kind of comfort somewhere. "It's okay....I'm sorry to cling but....I just don't wanna feel alone right now...." She began working hard to calm down, soothe himself in the comfort of another's presence. It began working slowly, her body starting to relax, breathing easing a bit.

Nero wasn't used to being held when someone was upset, but if having someone there with her soothed her the least he could do was try to understand. He hesitantly lifted his hand and placed it on her back. Nero may not have been the best sympathizer in the world, but at least he tried. It would be wrong not to.

Once the unease finally passed and Kin began to feel more normal, he was immediately embarrassed about having such a breakdown. "...Forgive me for being such a mess...I'm not normally like this in front of people..I promise I'm not...You've been so tolerant. I'm all over you, and I know you're not the kind that likes their space invaded...." She took a step away from him and sighed a bit, wondering if Nero though he was just a trainwreck. Why couldn't she be as together as Nero was? how could he handle it with such simple ease?

Kin would not have been so upset if it wasn't for me, Nero thought. It seemed that no matter what he would do he would cause hurt. "No. I should not have said anything." All Kin wanted was tips on fighting, yet he ended up troubling her.

Kin sighed a little. "...It's not a lie, what you said. i need to grow up if I'm gonna make it here...C'mon, let's not remain so glum....Let's get started on training right?" He hoped that would take their minds off of such dark places.

Nero nodded at her request. He lead Kin over to one of the weight room's Leg Presses. Nero sat down on the machine and placed his legs on the platform directly in front of him. "Keep your feet about shoulder width." Nero lowered the safety bar that held the weighted platform and pressed the platform all the way up, fully extending his legs. "Make sure that you do not lock your knees." Nero slowly lowered the platform and made a perfect 90 degree angle with his torso and legs. He looked over to Kin, "This is your starting position. Next you push out mainly with the ball of your foot." Nero began demonstrating, slowly inhaling as he brought his legs back to the starting position, and exhaling as he pushed out.

Kin watched closely, knowing he would soon be doing the same thing he was. "okay...how much weight should I use?" Kin honestly had no idea how much weight she could handle. He had never had to lift anything really heavy, let alone with her legs. The heaviest thing he had ever been tasked iwth moving was a sewing machine.
