Maybe the looming and the pointing wasn't the greatest plan for convincing Fletcher to not be a wimp. Mei sighed and sat back down, hoping that might put the other kid back at ease.

"Learning to defend yourself isn't about hurting people. If you do have to defend yourself, then the people you might hurt were already planning on hurting you first."

"I-I know they were, but..." He sighed and looked down at the table. "As long as I had my alchemy, I could probably stop them without hurting them. As long as there were some plants around, anyway." And there usually were plants, or something made from plants, in the general vicinity. "I don't know if I could hurt someone, even-- even if they wanted to hurt me first."

"But you don't have your Alchemy right now," Mei pointed out, but after that, she relented. "It's alright, Fletcher. I guess some people aren't meant to be warriors."

[greennotgold]

Yeah, that was a sore point. Not only was he in some strange environment where he was expected to beat people up, he couldn't even use his one skill...

"I-I'm sorry. I know you wanted to help..."

Mei nodded and reached to give him a pat on the shoulder.

"It'll still be alright! We figured out one loophole already! There will be others!"

[greennotgold]

"Right! At least we have a way to keep from losing tokens." Not that he had any right now anyway, but he would if he wound up winning their competition, whatever it was. And he needed some if he was going to get the rest of his brother's memories back.

He smiled up at her sincerely. "Thank you, Mei."

[idkmybffxiao]

"You're welcome! We'll teach this place not to mess with us one way or another!"

Yeeessss. Now for breakfast. Finally.

[greennotgold]

Well, if she was ready to eat, he should probably get his tray off to the front counter... He stood up and picked it up.

"See you later!"
