[Fray's attention turns to the demon the moment he hears it, but Sayaka's words and that sneaky Rkukaja earn a scoff from him that sounds almost closer to a laugh.]
I'm always ready for a fight. Let's see this through - an excellent opportunity for some training as well, hmm?
[And sure enough, the battle certainly is a good one for training. Sayaka is a smart girl, she picks up on things quickly and knows her own limits fairly well - at least for the time being. Once they've dispatched the threats and returned to their dorm room, Fray sets his sword aside and takes a seat on his bed.]
You did well today. Considering you've only had limited experience with that knife, you're able to hold your own quite well. Have you considered taking up other weapons?
[To put it bluntly, Sayaka could probably use something with more range since she's rather frail...]
[It's strange that Sayaka can almost beam when they get out of Nekiya together--Sayaka really is learning to adapt to combat easier and easier, and Fray's help in the matter has definitely made today a successful day. It isn't as if Sayaka minds being protected, but the fact that she's able to shine alongside others, instead of one light overpowering another...
It's a strangely freeing feeling, one that Sayaka wears as they go back to their dorm room and Sayaka goes to grab something from under her bed.]
Thank you, Fray-san--it means a lot to hear that. I think I really am starting to get better with all of this, but...I think I see what you mean when it comes to having someone who can watch your back. It really is better, and you did great too! It was super easy to fight with you.
[It's strange, how genuine it is. It's a feeling that feels vaguely poisonous, but Sayaka owes that to her lack of ability to trust; she knows that this is a good feeling, deep down.]
I haven't really, though I...wouldn't mind something that allows me to keep a distance, I think. Being up close can be a little...much, sometimes, haha.
[There it is. Sayaka winds up bringing a small box out from under her bed, and it seems filled with some first aid supplies--she looks up at Fray for a moment, though, once that's out there.]
What kind of weapons do you have experience with, Fray-san? If you don't mind my asking. Oh, and--do you have any wounds that need patching up?
Alright, good to know. If you ever need this for anyone else, though, I keep it right under my bed; just let me know if you end up using any supplies from it so I can keep it stocked up.
[Sayaka will go and sit on the bottom bunk, letting herself rest a bit.]
It sounds like you've got a lot of experience, though. If it's alright to ask...will you tell me a little bit about it?
[An adventure, or something similar. Consider her curious about getting to know him a little better.]

[Possibly others?? Hmm.]
No, I'm fine. I made sure to heal myself of any injuries before leaving. Best not to let anything have a chance at infection, after all.
[He's always very careful with his injuries, don't worry! Thank you for the concern, though.]
