Xavier Hollow, raum demon not-so-extraordinaire, had discovered the answer to the Great Mystery of the Universe:
The Universe hated him.
There could be no real explanation other than that, because if the Universe liked him, he would not be stuck in places he didn't want to be stuck, he would not be floundering around uselessly in the gym, and he most definitely would not have had to stand by while those around him made snickering comments behind their hands as he yet again failed to hit the test dummy and wound up face down on the gymnasium floor.
Xavier wondered why it was that the Universe held such a grudge against him. It wasn't like he'd done anything, except for maybe be pathetic.
Or maybe that was just it. Maybe the Universe did not care for pathetic creatures such as himself who couldn't even hold their own against the humans or the hunters that fought them. Xavier had fought against Helmut, and that had been terribly embarrassing, and he'd fought against that other ghoul, and that had been mortifying.
...now that he thought of it, everything he did was mortifying.

Xavier, to his credit, at least had enough sense to attempt to get off of the floor instead of just lying there pathetically like he would have done normally. But his attempts were interrupted, Xavier only halfway done standing up when someone knocked into him, and then he was right back down on the floor, his eyes wide with surprise.
"Erm," he said, flailing around, and a few feathers fell free from his hair, sliding merrily across the gymnasium mats. "Erm."
She was somewhat familiar, though he couldn't quite discern why that was. Xavier struggled weakly, worming himself away and then got up on his knees, brushing his hands over his pants and his coat to get some of the dust off of them and look vaguely presentable.
"Erm," he said again, and then, in a much quieter tone of voice, "I, er...y-you said we've m-met before?"

Xavier swiped a hand to push his hair out of his face, feathers flying free all over the place. He sat back on his legs and twisted his hands together nervously, but when she said where they had previously met, a note of realization suddenly hit him.
"Ah!" said Xavier, and then flushed "Y-yes, erm...yes, I...I remember that, it, erm...it was very c-confusing in there, but t-thank you for being kind to m-me while we were there."
Flustered, he blinked rapidly, hesitated, and then blurted out,
"W-would you practice fighting with me?"
Embarrassment coursed through him, a sort of pathetic humiliation as Xavier's face reddened. He tried to explain himself, his hands disappearing into the draping sleeves of his overlarge coat. "I, erm...ever since t-then I've been trying to, erm...improve myself."

Xavier twisted his hands together nervously, more feathers flitting out of his hair and twirling merrily to the ground. "I-I don't like feeling, erm, w-weak," he said, shuffling his feet. "I, erm...it's b-been rather, erm, u-upsetting, and I would very much l-like to, erm...improve."
He shifted his feet again, but she'd agreed to help him, and Xavier felt relief course through him. He curled his fingers together in a vague semblance of a fist, and took a deep breath, pushing his hand towards her.
"I'm, erm Xavier, b-by the way."

Maple found herself nibbling on her lower lip, unable to even mumble how she shared his sentiments. She had seen so many different versions of herself that were so much better and it was so frustrating. How she couldn't feel that kind of power or even confidence.
And that vision.
Though, really she shouldn't have gotten lost in thought at that moment as she had rightfully agreed to a spar. Because all of a sudden she was punched. "Aa!" She jumped in surprise when his fist connected with her cheek, knocking her back a little and bringing her back to the moment in hand.
"O-oh, I'm Maple..." She replied as she rubbed at her cheek with the palm of her hand.
The ghoul flicked her other hand and summoned her broom and held it out before her.

Xavier twisted his hands and gave a little nod. They were sort of similar, he guessed, but at least Maple seemed more capable than he did. If he had to take a gander, he was relatively certain she was not a first year student like he was; but he didn't even really seem like a first year himself, more like a negative first year.
The broom smacked him across the chest and Xavier gave a startled little squawk, stumbling backwards. "T-that was a good hit!" he said encouragingly, in spite of it stinging, and he took a deep breath, trying to steady himself as he moved towards her, hesitantly poking her in the side.
