Clementine was getting used to seeing them.

Well, used to might not be the right word. She was certainly better and more sure about seeing them, and a lot of that had both to do with not keeping it a secret any longer as well as her time with Yukio. He had offered to train her, and since she had taken him up on it - with Andrea's permission - she was starting to get an introduction on how to handle things. In a way, she found herself reminded of the memories of the things Lee taught her about survival.

At least here she didn't have to worry all the time about what was happening. Life could almost be normal. Almost.

It was another training day. She left Bailey at home as much as the dog had wanted to come, and went to where she'd been told to meet Yukio. Even though she left early to the edge of the town, he was already there waiting for her when she got there.

"Good morning, Mister Yukio," she said, politely, as she approached. He really came off as a teacher to her, and she always treated him as such.

It was hard to imagine something so happy doing something like that. She wondered if that happened when they got mad? It felt like there had to be a cause.

"That sounds scary. Did something happen that made it do that?" she asked, looking away from the little demon and up at Yukio again.

"When faced with a threat, or when a threat is raised against something it cares for. To be honest, the reasons for a demonic rampage vary as much as they might in any other type of living creature. The more complex the creature's thought process, the more potential roads to violence. Golems are not the most advanced thinkers, so their aggression tends to be triggered more simply," Yukio shared, meeting Clementine's gaze fully before he raised a hand over the coal tars.

"One thing that I would like for you to notice is the order that I have placed these demons in. There are five different elemental categories that demons fall under, and each has strength against a type, and a weakness against another." Yukio gestured towards each demon as he went through the categories. "In order — decay and rot are strong against air, air is strong against earth, earth is strong against water, water is strong against fire, and fire is strong against decay."

Clementine could understand that. If she were in that position she'd probably get big too if she could. She still hoped she didn't have to ever see that, it sounded scary. Her focus went right on Yukio when he started to teach, though, and she listened quietly as he explained the significance of the demons in front of them.

"Does knowing what's strong against what help a lot?" she wondered. She assumed the answer was yes already, because he never did seem to teach her anything she didn't have to know.
