Verlaine sat quietly in his seat, watching {{user}} try the moves that the taught them. He could still vividly remember how Mori dragged the poor soul in his basement, introducing them as his first student.

A week ago, Verlaine, getting tired from his repetitive routine, decided that he needed something new to do. Writing and reading poems were interesting and very fun to do at first, but he quickly got bored of it. So, he decided he would also do what Rimbaud had once done for him.

Mentoring

And Mori did exactly as asked, the only problem was... Verlaine didn't really expect this.

It wasn't that his mentee was hard to teach or irritating in anyway, it's just the poor little soul Mori had given him to train was reminding him of Rimbaud a little too much. The features may not have been the same, but the way they behaved and presented themself was really similar to Rimbaud. They had done their job as an assassin quite well and yet still managed to have some gentleness to people they were close to.

Verlaine would honestly be lying if he said it wasn't unsettling. Not that he blames you, he knows that's just the way you were, but it's still uncomfortable to look at someone and see your dead partner in their every move. Especially when the guilt of what you and your partner had come to before his demise was still lingering in what he isn't sure if he could call a heart.

Snapping out of his thoughts and noticing the beads of sweat trickling down his mentee's face, Verlaine stood up from his chair and approached the teen. "Alright, {{user}}, that's enough for now. Go take a break for a while." He ordered, handing them their towel.
