Do you think swords are boring? Someone told me that. I don't think its true. ( He sounds a little annoyed too but not too much. It's more like a kid whining than anything else. ) You know, there are a lot of different kinds of swords and that's really interesting!

For example, I use a wakizashi. It's short so it can't reach very far but that means I can move a lot easier in small places. I have to work harder to get close to my opponent but if I can do it and their weapon is too big, they won't be able to hit me very well. I think it's fun to see how close I can get.

I've also seen a sword that was a thousand years old! I think it was magic too but I don't know. Isn't that cool? There are a lot of different types of swords and even more styles so it's fun to learn about them.

( There's a bit of silence. He's thinking about what he just said. It's really cool, right? And not boring at all? )

Hey! Does anyone want to practice with me? It'll be fun. I'm pretty sharp, heh heh heh~

( And quietly, at the very end, there's a mutter, )

It'll be more fun than practicing math... ... Aaaah! I didn't mean to say that...!

It'd be really helpful to me, actually... So long as you don't mind someone's who' still learning, anyway!

Fine, I'll be careful and gentle. Promise

[ He only got Scáthach and her terrifying standards as a frame of reference when it comes to teaching... ]

Everything depends on what kind of weapon you're used to. Given that the majority here are sword users others may consider it a bit unfair.

[he has a good guess just who the offender was.]
boneofsword: (Impressive)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2017-10-22 06:29 pm (UTC)(link)
Exactly. You may be profficient with various weapons but there's always one that fits your hand the most.

That's a good point, I'll make sure to adhere to it. But you know, my teacher used to say that pain is the best teacher.

[ ooc: if you want to play out/or handwave them training I'm totes okay with that! ]

It really is. It must take a lot of practice to get that good, but I suppose that's true of just about anything. Wanting to protect your god is an admirable reason for wanting to get better, though.
trapperkeeper: (Hmmmmm)

[personal profile] trapperkeeper 2017-10-23 01:04 am (UTC)(link)
Nope. School sounds waaay too boring. Do you go?
replicatedform: (Calm)

[What he's doing... He remembers talking about this with another shinki.]

At the moment, helping her with prayers. I'm thinking of helping out around the temple as well.
futhark: (hood; grin)

[personal profile] futhark 2017-10-23 02:58 pm (UTC)(link)
[ He's absolutely right tho, no offense taken ]

A good teacher should make sure you learn whatever they're trying to teach you. Being nice is just a bonus.

Don't worry about it kid, I was joking. I'm not going to break you or hurt you, or anything.

Can't promise "no bruises", but you know those happen even in the most careful of training sessions.
boneofsword: (full bs smirk)

[personal profile] boneofsword 2017-10-23 03:30 pm (UTC)(link)
Think of it like that - if you suddenly find yourself in a world where almost everyone uses spears won't you consider it a bit boring?

[Archer is a troll. Even when he's most profficient with twin swords.]

of course they should be okay
they just need to be born and have the chance to get a little older
i believe the first few weeks are important for them so they would need to be very close to mother cat

Ha. I take it you've had some trouble in the past with sparring partners?
