Two of them.

"Bro! Breakfast's ready and mum wants everyone in the dining room." You hear your younger sister Alice through the door. "You better hurry or Claire's gonna eat all the bacon." You hear Alice run down the stairs to get her slice of bacon.

"Hey Jamie, did you see the meteor shower last night?" Your older sister suddenly asks in between bites.

"You mean when all the stars were falling? I thought it was really pretty!" Your younger sibling cheerfully says as she drinks her cup of orange juice.

All girls. We won't live down the teasing for the next two weeks. I can see why James has no dreams of the future, for it is grim indeed.

Can't be anime without the classic training arc! And plus the bonus family scene? GIMMI.
Gotta love the justifications tho.
'Gotta convincer her to train with me first so she won't hurt herself.'
'Invite her over for dinner to meet the family. She's probably hungry.'
'Can't let a girl that I like be alone out this late.'
;) I see you, James.

The funnier thing is that while they are reasonable at first glance, they still do not make sense taken together.

It is getting late, so it's dangerous to walk home alone -> let's go home together -> why, to my home, of course -> for a dinner, after which I walk you towards yours -> then walk back. Alone. At night. Dangerous, you say? Pfft, that's why we trained so hard!

Sure, James. Go ahead. The rationalisation for a dinner invitation might need some work, though. :rolleyes:

What is this?
Waifuing at this early junction? :p

I made that write-in for keeping one of James's closest friends alive, no ulterior motives at all.

I'm one of the builders on the SS James x Lucille tho

@Nevill
I chalk it up to Jame's EXTRA VIGILANCE for him accompanying Lucille back home, despite the training montage earlier.

I mean, they're probably tired from the practice and shit and probably want to rest up early so they can get to golem whomping good the next day.

That's my explanation and I'm sticking to it. :whistle:

Of course, James. I never doubted you.

But still, if you were worried about Lucille's safety, wouldn't it make more sense to walk her to her home while there is still daylight? It's not like she would starve since she is living alone for who knows how long.

Though the plan would make sense if your dad - or a taxi - would be the one to drive her home back from your place (gets her right to her apartment, no chance of strange ideas on her part, no hostile encounters). But that's decidedly less romantic and does not expose us to mortal danger of walking alone at night, so why would we even do it? :whistle:

Edit: really, though, I'd vote for it if it comes to it. James is a person with at least some wit, caution and apathetic pragmatism, which is only reinforced by not going golem-hunting right off the bat.

Well, feeding our friend is only polite.

And by the time it's dark out, thereby making a ride home apparently more safe, the golems would be out. And we wouldn't be so horrible as to expose our father to harm needlessly, would we? No, as the more experienced (*snrk*) empowered person, it's our duty to make sure she gets home safe, and to protect those without our gifts. So there you go. Politeness demands this course of action. Truthfully, we are a noble and self-sacrificing paragon of virtue by casting away our safety in this manner in the name of simple courtesy. :lol
 
I just found this and already, I love it. Wow. This is some seriously nice writing!

Also, just been thinking about our power. You know what would be both cool and useful to have while being completely innocent looking?

Packs of cards. We could be like Gambit and throw razor hard cards, or fold paper throwing stars! Awesome.
 
Papermancy is a totally legit reason to always have paper on you, in any form.

A schoolbag full of notebooks? Makeshift armor/ammunition.
Reading a newspaper? It's actually a spear/shield/construct.
A packet of index cards? Bladed implements. (A tad pricey though?)

Spitballs from chewed paper?
Err.. okay, not that one.
