“Aichi Sendou, why do you let them treat you as so?” Reaching over, Mulan reached over to brush his hair to the side, “do you not know how to defend yourself?”

The junior high school boy pauses at the question from the older woman, one that he’s been asked before numerous times. Ever since he was young, he’s gotten beaten up in one shape or form. Sometimes it’s through vocal attacks, and others it’s a full on beating. He remembers the look on his mother’s face when he used to come home from school with a whole array of scratches and bruises. It got so bad to the point where he had to go to a different junior high school instead of the junior high division of his elementary school. 
His cerulean eyes close, taking some time to think about how to exactly answer as the other showed gentle care. Aichi isn’t used to this kind of physical touch outside of his mother, little sister, or even Misaki, but it’s the type he needs so desperately. He needs to learn that not all touches were meant to hurt him, a hard mindset to change considering his past experiences.

“I...I’m not...I’m not strong like that, M-Miss Mulan...” He had become pretty good and confident with a Vanguard deck since his reunion with Kai and his regular trips to the card shop after school, but that didn’t exactly translate to physical strength to defend oneself from enemies. “I...I don’t know...how to fight back...All I know how to do is...run away, avoid the situation, or...just...take it...” 
Things now were nowhere near as bad as they used to be. In fact, two of the people who had once picked on him were now two of his good friends. Though, they were Vanguard Cardfighters. Those outside that hobby still didn’t see Aichi as any different than who he was before getting into the game, and well...that still meant to them he was an easy target.
“B-But...it’s okay...I’m...I’m used to it, and...things have gotten better lately...It doesn’t happen...as much as it did before.”

@adversitybloomed​ Sent: 🌸  for me to use a random number generator to determine which one of my muses to receive a starter from. (Accepting!)
Generator Result: 13 (Rin)

“Oh, you mean this?” Rin says towards the stranger, gesturing towards the D-Wheel she was currently on. The girl wasn’t sure where exactly she was, but her childhood friend Yugo did tell her the machine they both had spent so much time and effort building together was able to travel dimensions. Though, now that she thinks about, maybe that was more due to his Clear Wing Synchro Dragon card more than anything else. 
Regardless of the method, she was far from home and needed a way back. Rin had a pretty good inkling for how to gather information in strange circumstances. Being trapped in another dimension and growing up in extreme poverty will teach you that, and she thinks the older woman might be of help. There was this kind and noble air about her that made the rider feel like she was worth reaching out to. Rin did have the skills to defend herself if need be, too. She did help defend Yugo and her fellow orphans from bullies and kicked plenty of butt on and off the dueling field, after all.

“This is my D-Wheel. Well, it’s not all mine. I made it with my best friend with spare parts. Anyway, have you never seen one before? They’re...pretty common where I’m from.” She asks, trying to confirm if dueling motorcycles like the one she has were an unknown oddity in this dimension like they were in in the dimensions of Pendulum, XYZ, and Fusion that Rin had come to know.
