"Right, well you've met Jeremiah, quite the charmer right?" Luke says smiling at Dustin and Cole
"Sure..." Said Cole
Dustin nods.
Jeremiah looks at Dustin, and although he can't read his expression, he thinks he's being appreciative.
"Well in any case, he's here to help you two unlock potential in your prowess, I can only do so much as one person and since there are two of you, were splitting the work load."
"Cole, your with me, and Dustin, your with Jeremiah." Luke explains
"Ok." Cole said
"No complaining this time?" Luke said digging at him
"Whatever just do your thing." Cole sighed, annoyed
Luke chuckled and continued explaining.
"Well, Jeremiah went ahead and rented out the room next door, so we'll still be close by."
"Too-da-loo you two!" Jeremiah tips farewell
Dustin gathers his things a moves to the next room, leaving Cole and Luke with a wave.
Dustin leaves walking behind Jeremiah, he is unsure of how to feel about this guy, he seems so strange but, he liked him, and felt he could trust him.
"Hey Jeremiah?"
"Oh please, call me Jerry, I think we know each other well enough."
"Right, Jerry, can I ask you something?"
"Go right ahead friend!"
"Why do you cover your face with that mask?"
"Why? Well isn't it obvious? The act of listening to or creating music is an acclamation of the soul! An unsightly visage would merely distract from the music!" He explained happily
"Well not that my face is unsightly.. either way, it's unnecessary to show ones face when the music can speak for itself."
"Hm."
They arrive in their room and Dustin is immediately blinded, when he opens his eyes, he sees the entire room is shiny, most of the edges are gilded in gold and glisten with brilliance. There were speakers in the ceiling playing smooth jazz and not only was it gilded in gold but it was noticeably fancier and had better equipment, there was carpet instead of hard floor like the other gyms he's been in, it's carpeted, there were even incredibly comfortable couches and bean bag chairs to rest in when you get tired.
Dustin stares in amazement.
"Oh? Never seen a room like this one before have you?"
Dustin shakes his head.
"Where I come from, we only train in EXTRAVAGANCE!"
Dustin puts his things down near a couch and walks into the battle room where Jeremiah was waiting. It was slightly less extravagant than the main room, but the equipment and the room as well were both of noticeably higher quality.
"So, this is the first day of training prowess, correct?" He asks
Dustin nods.
"Then we've got a lot to do, so take those shoes off! First things first, stretching!"
Jeremiah drops his cane on the floor and summons 2 musical mats for them to begin.
"Touch your toes!"
Jeremiah leads and Dustin follows.
"Now, reach all the way to your other hand!"
They reach behind their backs and touch their hands together.
