Grand Welcome[Stella, Solomon]

"No need to apologize for being aspirational. I find your aspirations commendable and honorable. I aspire to be strong enough to protect those I care about too, Stella."

Solomon would wave off her apology with a smile. He could never pass judgment on a woman with courage in their spirit. As he said, he shared a similiar point of view, though his focus was more rooted on the residents of this large metropolis than his capable family back in Germany.

Following her toward the bench, Solomon remained standing as he observed what she was pulling from the bag. From first glance, it was easy to discern the nature of the object in question - a Sanrei glove.

The tool used to cultivate a quincy's technique in absorbing particles, as well as a pathway toward achieving a greater number of abilities in the proccess. Holding it within his palm, he turned his gaze back to her.

"It's a Sanrei Glove. It's a very essential tool in cultivating a Quincy's ability to manipulate and absorb reishi. Most usually have to endure a strenous training proccess to use it properly, and then train themselves even further until the training is complete. It's also a gateway into learning Letzt stil."

After answering the first question, Solomon paused for a moment, curiously tilting his head to the side. He figured she was a newcomer, but only in the sense of taking residence here. Did she really have no home?

"You don't have a house, yet?" He inquired curiously.

Maintaining his observational gaze, his attention wholly engaged with the woman's humble beginnings, Solomon wondered about her housing arrangements. There were several options that came to mind, of course, but he was in no particular rush to interrupt her.

"Well, I'll gladly confirm that all of that is true. Your mother was undeniably correct, Stella. This is an ideal place to cultivate your talents as a Quincy. The learning curve comes with its fair share of difficulties, but if you are determined in your resolution, the sky is the limit."

Reassuring her with a pat to the shoulder, Solomon would cross his arms in quiet contemplation. He was already assisting Violet in adapting to the Quincy Arts. What was the likelihood that he would take someone else under his wing? Incredibly likely, of course. His very nature would never allow him to turn down a dreamer with intentions of aspiring to great heights.

"What would you say to learning the bare basics under my tutelage? I'm a mere personnel member, so I likely can't teach you the full extent of techniques a master could, but I'm fairly well versed with what you need to adopt at the start."

"Then it's settled. I'll be your teacher from here out."

Solomon voiced his approval without hesitation. He would need to plan the particulars and build a schedule around Stella ahead of time, but that was hardly an inconvenience to him. After all, he had plenty of time since his missions weren't inherently time-consuming. Time was beneficially in his favor outside of his own training, training that could certainly include Stella. And once she fully adapted, perhaps his fellow ritter would take her under their wing as well. For now, there was the matter of addressing where she'd be living.

"First, there's the matter of addressing where you'll be staying. I have a few options, of course, but I'd like to know what suits you best. In the short-term, I can pay for your stay at a hotel. On the other hand, I have my own house. It'd take a minute, but I could eventually buy you your own home."

"Hahaha! That's alright. I can't exactly imagine everyone knowing how to manage a household on their own in the first place. Even so, it would be best if you had a bed to rest in and food to eat even outside of training. Hm..."

Solomon certainly didn't take any offense to her answer. If she wished to remain active outside most of the time, then there wasn't any harm done on his part.

"I suppose a hotel works for now. If it proves distressful, I always have a small room in my own house you can take refuge in occasionally. I live alone so it'd be of no issue to me."
