[Something about her saying that she gets on the sluggish side only makes him worry more, and it's a bit comedic, really. How tightly Alexander is holding onto Liuxi to give her body some warmth. He knows that she's gone for awhile and being in the harsh cold of the mountains wasn't something to mess with. At least, that's what he thinks.]

Not good enough. Once we're out of this hall, you're coming back into my arms.

[In the mean time, locking arms with him seems to be good enough to make him less fussy about her. He'll just keep close while they walk down the hallway, where he assumes his class will be. Admittedly a bit anxious than he should be, but he doesn't want to show it.]

It just sounds like we need to get you a better tutor then. It just goes to show they didn't teach you well enough, and nothing bad on your end.

[Perhaps fortunately, Alexander's black and white thinking might be beneficial to this conversation.]

I'll look for another one after my classes are finished. I'll find a worthy one that's good enough for my cousin, and then some.

[He may or may not be a bit protective of family.]

In the mean time... Take it easy, okay? I'll train with you until we find someone.
