Personal Training
Celliera: So this is the castle occupied by Euden and his comrades. I must offer them my thanks.
Celliera: Hmm? Wait, is that...?
Notte: Hoooo! Another day, another big helping of flower nectar for me!
Euden: Notte... Hmm, something seems different. You don't look like your usual threatening self.
Notte: Well, I guess I have been wheezing a little when I fly lately...
Notte: Oh no! Am I super out of shape?!
Euden: Perhaps you'd better start exercising. Build those muscles from the ground up!
Notte: Oh, maaaan! Does that mean I have to do, like, push-outs or whatever they're called?
Notte: I need a personal trainer if this is ever gonna work.
Euden: A trainer? All the way out here? I doubt you'd—
Celliera: I STAND READY BEFORE YOU!
Euden: You what now?
Celliera: Ho there, Euden! I've come to settle our debt.
Euden: Uh oh. Do I owe you something?
Celliera: Ah, but you misunderstand. I've come to thank YOU for your aid at the volcano.
Celliera: On that note, Notte recently expressed interest in hiring a personal trainer.
Celliera: That being the case, I will take up the mantle in order to thank you for your earlier aid!
Euden: Um...okay? If you want to.
Celliera: As a knight's armsmaster, my job is to instruct wards in the proper forms and functions of exercise.
Celliera: With my specialized Armsmaster Exercise Regimen, Notte will be a rippling, winged mass of muscle before you know it!
Celliera: Heh heh... My teacher senses are a'tingle with anticipation. I can't wait to see those guns of yours pumping!
Notte: Uh, yeah, this seems kind of terrifying. I think I'm going to pass.
Celliera: We will begin at once. Also, you will refer to me as Master Celliera.
Notte: Whaaaaat?!
In the castle grounds
Celliera: Focus on that sweat running down your brow and give me a hundred laps! I want to see the veins bulging in those muscles!
Notte: Wait, laps? Dude, I FLY!
Celliera: Quit with the belly-aching and get with the ab-making!
Notte: Y-yes, Master Celliera!
That evening, inside the castle
Celliera: Right then! Meal time. Proper nutrition is vital for one in such intense training.
Notte: *wheeze* *pant* Too much...running... So tired... So hungry...
Celliera: The most important thing when considering one's diet is not the quantity consumed, but the balance of nutrition. Now eat!
Notte: ...What the heck is THIS glop?
Celliera: A special nutritional porridge I prepared! ...Well, technically it's more of a slurry. Regardless, EAT!
Notte: *urp* Oh my gosh, this tastes like the floor of a tavern after the weekend.
Celliera: Don't be picky! From now on, the only things you're permitted to consume are this and water! ...Or perhaps ice chips.
Notte: Wait, that's IT?!
That night; Celliera lurking in the shadows
Notte: *knock knock* Anyone out there? No? ...Ah, jackpot! There's still some bread on the table from dinner!
Notte: That slurry business was the most disgusting thing ever, but this bread looks mighty tast—
Celliera: DROP THE BREAD! ...Now put your hands behind your head and turn around!
Notte: Ack! It's a trap! Nooooo! C'mon, gimmme a break!
Celliera: Break? Do you realize the absolute nutritional wasteland that is a slice of bread?!
Celliera: You'd be better off eating mud! ...Well, expect that mud has a high mineral content. But I digress!
Notte: WHO'S eating mud now?!
Celliera: Do you want your muscles to grow flabby and weak?! Do you want to be carried everywhere in a cart because you lack the bone structure to walk?!
Notte: Um...no?
Celliera: Then restrain yourself! Resist the temptation of junk food and have another helping of my nutritional slurry!
Celliera: I know you can do it! I believe in you!
Notte: All right, I'll do it... I've got this! Guide me, Master Celliera!
Celliera: That's the spirit!
And so, Notte's training continued. Until one day...
In the castle, during the day
Celliera: Behold! The fruits of your training!
Notte: Ta-daaaah! Well? How do I look?! Buff, right? Like, SUPER buff!
Euden: You look great, Notte!
Notte: But what about the guns? DON'T YOU LOVE MY GUNS?!
Celliera: Just look how hard she worked... *sniff*
Notte: Aw, you're giving me too much credit. If I didn't have such a great teacher, I'd still be a puny weakling.
Notte: That's why I just want you to know how grateful I am for your guidance.
Celliera: Notte!
Notte: Master!
Euden: Heh. Seems like it's a good thing you came here, Celliera.
Celliera: Hearing you say that makes me even more delighted!
Celliera: And it ALSO makes me want to be of even further aid to you all.
Celliera: As such, I'm going to keep assisting you.
Celliera: Euden, if you have any worries or need to talk about anything at all, come see me right away.
Celliera: I'll devote all my efforts to helping you solve your many, MANY problems.
Euden: Not sure the "many" part was necessary... Er, but are you sure you're okay with this?
A Lesson in Muscles
Cleo: Eek! C-Celliera?
Celliera: I didn’t think I was being quite so stealthy. …What’s this, then? Are you painting?
Cleo: Er, I’m…
Celliera: Is this a picture of a group of fiends?! How horrid and frightening they look!
Cleo: …It’s a portrait of everyone in the castle.
Celliera: …OoooOOOOooo! Yes, of cooourse! I see it now! It’s soooo beautif--
Cleo: Stop. I’m quite aware of my lack of skill. *sigh* Let me ask you something, Celliera. You’re rather…driven. Can you think of a way I might improve my talents?
Celliera: Actually, now that you mention it, I may have an idea.
When drawing a person, being conscious of their musculature will allow you to depict them with greater accuracy.
Cleo: Is that so? …Huh. I learned something.
Celliera: Learned something? Leeeearning… A-HA! This is where I come in!
I will teach you all about muscles!
Cleo: You’ll teach me about…muscles.
Celliera: Precisely. If you become more familiar with human musculature, your artwork will soar to new heights!
Cleo: Ah, I see. And since your profession involves training people, you’re something of an expert in the subject.
Well, if you’re willing to teach me, I would love to learn.
Celliera: I’m on the case! Henceforth, please refer to me as “master!”
With my own body as a model, I will teach you all there is to know about muscles!
This here is the biceps brachii, which you can flex to see in greater detail. And here on the calf we have the triceps surae.
You can deepen your comprehension even further by not just looking, but touching. …Go on! See how they feel!
Cleo: Yes, Master!
Goodness! It’s like they’re made of iron.
And yes they’re so slender. I’d always though that lots of muscle training would cause them to be quite thick.
Celliera: Such slender grace is a result of my body type and training regimen.
Cleo: I had no idea muscles could be such a complex topic.
Celliera: Moving on! The teres major is below the armpit, and then you have the rectus abdominis, which runs along the anterior of the abdomen. …Go on! Touch!
Cleo: Er, touch your armpit and abdomen?
Celliera: Come now! Get to it!
Cleo: But won’t that tickle?
Celliera: It’s fine. This is for your art, after all. Now come get your hands-on training!
Cleo: Very well, Master. And apologies for being so up close and personal…
Celliera: Hee… Eee hee… Eeeeee hee heee!
Cleo Hmm. I think I have a better idea of which muscle is which now.
Celliera: Excellent! Then let us continue touching each and every other muscle.
…And with that, you’ve now handled every single one of my muscles.
Cleo: Yes, Master Celliera.
Celliera: Now for the next step! As I mentioned, musculature differs based on the person.
By which I mean we’ll be touching someone ELSE’S muscles now! Onward!
Cleo: Wait, Master!
Euden: Looks like it’s about time to start my training…
Celliera: CAPTURED! AAAND…RESTRAINED!
Euden: AUGH! C-Celliera, what are you doing?!
Celliera: This is for art! For CLEO’S art! Now sit there and behave!
Cleo! Come touch Euden to your heart’s content!
Cleo: Umm…I think this might be going a bit overboard.
Celliera: DO NOT HESITATE! Steel yourself! Do it for art!
Cleo: For art… Right… For art!
Euden: C-Cleo? Why are you holding your hands like that…?
Cleo: Apologies, Euden… HERE I GOOO!
Euden: Aaaaah! What the heck are… Aaah ha! Y-You’re tickling m-AAAAH HA HA HA!
Euden: Did they do it to you too, Elisanne?
Elisanne: Yes. …It was horrible.
Ranzal: Same here. Cleo came at me screamin’ about how it was for art or somesuch.
Euden: Why would they need to go around tickling people for the sake of her art?
Celliera: So she might learn about human musculature and make use of it in her portraiture! …Obviously.
And thanks to your cooperation, Cleo now knows about muscles on a most intimate basis.
Euden: Really? Huh. Well, I was shocked at the time, but so long as we were able to help, that’s what matters most.
Celliera: And just a little while ago, I posed for her in order to test the results of her studies.
Come, Cleo! Show off your artwork to all!
Cleo: I… Um…
Elisanne: What is it? I’d like to see what kind of portrait you produced.
Celliera: I’m eager to see how much you’ve improved as well! What with my posing, I didn’t even catch a glance.
Ranzal: You hidin’ it behind your back there? *yoink*
Cleo: Oh!
Euden: This is amazing! Your portrayal of Celliera is so good, it seems like she might just walk right out of the piece! But, um…
Elisanne: Why are her right and left legs different sizes?
Celliera: My head is bizarrely huge. It’s three times larger than my body!
Ranzal: Looks like a new breed of fiend if ya ask me.
Cleo: I can draw each part of the body now, but I didn’t do a good job with the whole…balance thing.
What should I do now, Master?
Celliera: Now that things have come to this, let me borrow some white cloth, Cleo.
Cleo: Huh? White cloth? I can do that, but, er... What are you going to do with it?
Celliera: I’m going to wave it with all my strength!
I surrender! I SURRENDER! You are completely hopeless!
Cleo: You’re…giving up on me?!
