>Mend things between Ai and Dhundan
You try to improve how things are going among the two true genius of your age. That mean getting them to talk.
The main challenge is preventing Dhundan Kepa to abscond as you swear the kid is sleeping less than five hour every night.
To do that, you remind Dhundan he owes you for opening his Nose Aperture.
"<span class="mu-s">Didn't needed your help!</span>
- Easy to say once you already took it. Now, stop being as stuborn as stupid and grit your teeth for the next half an hour."
You turn around and leave. You know this would be efficient, and you have the proof when he waits for you in the dormitory. You drag Ai, sit the three of you in a circle.
"<span class="mu-b">Why... what are we playing? Why does the third player have to be me?</span>
- It's not a game. We'll try to voice the problem among the two of you. The goal is not to make you two the bestest friend of all time.
Just, make the two of you on good enough term that if you have to work together, you actually work and not fight each other.
- <span class="mu-s">Won't be a long fight anyway.</span>
- <span class="mu-b">Like you'll be able to catch up with to start with.</span>
- And that's exactly the problem. Why can't you two sit and not insult each other for two minutes? Nuh-hu. I'm seeing you blame each other already.
Ai. We'll start with you. Why don't you like Dhundan?
- <span class="mu-b">He's scary, always wants to fight, never wants to play.</span>
- Dhundan?
- <span class="mu-s">She's an airhead that does not know what truly matter. It's necessary to be strong in that word, she could be but waste her potential by never even wanting fighting!</span>"
And things devolve into insults quickly again.
"STOP!"
You didn't knew you could shout so loud.
"In the future, we might have to fight together. Ai, I know you don't want to, but the sect have enemies. If they attack, we'll defend.
When that happens, I'll most likely be the one in charge of coordinating our little group. Dhundan, I don't know why you feel like we're in a warzone.
Ai, I don't know why I never saw you picking a weapon. Both of you are wrong and the world is a middle way among your two viewpoints.
Ai, you'll need to learn at least self defense. Dhundan, you'll need to find something else to spend your time than antagonizing everything and everyone and pick a hobby sooner or later. No, no. NO. BOTH OF YOU SHUT UP. NO WORDS ALLOWED BEFORE YOU TOOK A FEW DAYS EACH TO THINK ABOUT YOUR BEHAVIOR!"
There's a bit of awkwardness among them the next few days. Awkwardness that dissipate, leading to less bad blood among them.
