[ Stamina is, indeed, a very necessary skill to have. Not that Hibiki knew much about what you need to be in the industry, let alone being an idol... so she's mostly just going along with whatever Ruby says they need to do.

Fortunately, stamina is something that Hibiki has in spades... and while she never expected to use it for anything other than fighting— ]

Sheesh, Ruby-chan... you gotta space out your drinks, you know!

[ Hibiki's worked up a sweat herself, but unlike Ruby, she looks totally nonplussed. Hibiki came with the intent of training together with Ruby, but it feels more like Hibiki is Ruby's coach.]

Here! But save some for me, 'kay?

[ She hands Ruby her water bottle, sweating hard but still looking like she could run another ten laps if she wanted to. ]

I'm trying, but--it's hella hot right now. Maybe I should get a bigger water bottle?

[She visibly perks up when Hibiki offers her own water, squeezing her friend's hands as she takes it.]

My heroooo... [Ruby takes a quick guzzle, cutting herself off before she gets carried away by the lure of hydration.] There's gotta be a secret to building up lots of stamina super fast! What's yours, Hibiki-chan?

As long as you can keep running while you carry it...

[ Ah, there goes most of her water... ah well, Hibiki can go for a while without a drink. Besides, somewhere they can get their bottles refilled shouldn't be far.

More importantly, Hibiki's eyes glimmer a little at Ruby's question... ]

Eat lots, sleep lots, train lots, and watch lots of movies! That's how my old Shishou back home taught me, at least! Since then I've made sure to train every day!

[ Well... that might not be a super fast shortcut, then. ]

You've gotta build it up, Ruby-chan. Keep on going, even when it hurts... and hey! It'll help with being a Dreamer, too!

[ Will it...? Well, Hibiki seems to firmly believe that training in the waking world is important for the Dreamsphere too, and she does have that freakish strength... ]
