Yazuhiko looked to Serenity with a frown. "Young lady, you have to take care of yourself before you can do other things. So long as your mind is distracted, you won't be able to focus on the ice." He explained. "I want you to get some rest and we will talk about it tomorrow." With a gentle pat to the blond girl's arm, he pulled a card out of his pocket and set it on the table. "Any of you can call me if she refuses to take care of herself."

With those words said, he offered Max a sweet smile and went to collect his things.

River shook her head gently. "No, I just wanted to know so I can remind Serenity what she needs to work on." She explained to Max and tapped at her bag. "I...I graduated college when I was sixteen and...well, yeah..." She was always nervous about bringing up how smart she actually was.

Bonnie decided to be sneaky and gestured to Jr, who hopped down to the table and snatched up Yazuhiko's card. He quickly made a fast beeline to Max's shoulder with it and started to attempt hiding it in his shirt.
