Larxene closed the portal behind her as she stepped out into a room that didn't have any doors. It wasn't far from her library, actually, but she needed somewhere more secluded at times, and this worked well. No one else knew about it, and that made it perfect.

"It's not much, but it's the best place," Larxene said.

The room was of decent size, with a few overstuffed bookshelves, a couch, and a desk. Most of the room was empty space; there was a closet with no door, currently empty, and a connecting bathroom, but it really was sparse.

"You won't have to stay here all the time," Larxene said. "Just for certain parts of the training."

The most important parts.

Rogue stepped in through the portal with high hopes and nothing short of amazement, moving to the side to allow Larxene to get by. "It's nice." And she meant it. The room was taken in with admiring eyes; it certainly didn't hold a candle to anything at home.... but compared to her life lately, sleeping on park benches and in the front seats of cars, it was practically a palace. It hardly even mattered that there was no bed. It seemed to have a place to lie down, room to stretch, and a place to stay clean--did she really need anything else?

"Which parts are those?" She had guessed there might be stages--even if just beginning, middle, and end--to this, but she honestly had no idea how one trained for this sort of thing. "Where else will I be?" She didn't want to sound ungrateful or nosy, but.... well, she was curious.

Larxene tilted her head, considering. "The first bit, at least," she said, truthfully. No reason to lie when the girl was so willing. "Maybe a bit of the middle, but after that you'll be out and about."

Because the first and middle bits were the training, really. The rest was just refining her control over Rogue. And if she was lucky, it wouldn't take long. She was already compliant, which was more than she expected of her toys.

If she knew she wasn't going to enjoy the next bits so much, she might have been a bit disappointed.

"Okay...." That didn't sound so bad. Still, it made her just wonder how long each part took. Weeks? Months? Years? She had no way of knowing.... And what would be "bad", exactly? It was hard to be sure when she honestly had very little idea what to expect. Though if Larxene would be disappointed by her compliance, perhaps she should have chosen a more difficult target? Or perhaps things would get more difficult as time went on....
