The trainer chuckled a little more readily and shook his head, greatly amused at the student's imagination. ["Oh no - if it's one thing I've learned, those comics back home have Americans mostly wrong,"] he offered up. Still, the slight smirk on his face allowed him to add, ["Mostly."]
Despite the fact that Vincent himself had a good memory and resented most technology that one wouldn't expect from a teacher, he didn't hold it against anyone else for using what worked for them. He'd met a few soldiers in therapy (when he was much younger) that used pagers to remind them to take medication because they had short-term memory issues. Some people used video or audio recordings (like reporters), some people took notes, others like him used heavy repetition and frequent use to make memories stick. For Junpei, the trick was to write everything down in his phone, and he was one of the faster phone typists the tall man had ever met. Whatever worked, worked.
To cover up the slight smile on his face, Vincent gave a rolling shrug, shifting the box in his hands as well as they reached the landing. ["That's your decision,"] he replied mildly. ["I'll ask her to talk to you soon, then - she really does enjoy walking around town."] The deliberate ignoring of the flustered shyness was mostly to help the younger man save face. Besides, pointing out someone else's lack of grace was not a habit the trainer enjoyed, even if it was occasionally amusing. ["Be sure to stay close to her; if you're not careful, she can lose you in a crowd fairly easily."]
