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!

[futhark]

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... ]

[boneofsword]

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.]

[minogame]

Babies?!

( kitTENS! Oh, no. He wants to see them... but he understands! )

I get it! I'll be really careful. I really hope I can see them, though. Do you think that'll be okay when they're bigger? I bet they're really cute.

[minogame]

You better. I'm a treasure, you know. Practice is fun but it's not good if I get hurt so bad I can't help Nari later!

[minogame]

That's good. I'd be sad if you had a bad god. What are you doing to help her right now?

[minogame]

That's okay! I can go easy on you if you want.

( And a mumble, )

... A lot of people have a hard time doing that here.

[minogame]

Mm~! It's really cool what they can do, right? I don't think I'm bad but I want to get better so I can protect Nari.

[minogame]

( His guess is correct. )

Aah! You're right! It really depends on what you're used to. I used to lose a lot when I practiced with regular swords. Then I got the one I have now and started practicing and I'm a lot better now!

[boneofsword]

Exactly. You may be profficient with various weapons but there's always one that fits your hand the most.

[futhark]

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! ]

[clothes_make_the_man]

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]

Nope. School sounds waaay too boring. Do you go?

[replicatedform]

[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.

[minogame]

I just started.

Mr. Hakkai said it would be a good idea and Nari thought so too.

[minogame]

Your teacher sounds scary.

( HE'S BEING HONEST )

Shouldn't a good teacher be nice?

( ooc, We can def handwave! I'm also making a log later in the month too ♡ )

[minogame]

Good! Sometimes I help out Nari too and he really likes it. I bet she'll like it too!

[minogame]

Hmm... I guess that's fair.

( He can admit when others are right! )

Some people are swordsmen and some people aren't. And people who aren't probably wouldn't really like swords.


... They don't have to call me boring though!

[minogame]

Maybe. I already knew how... but if I don't practice, I won't get any better and if I don't get better, I can't be the best for him.

Though, I guess he doesn't need me to fight for him, huh? He'd really just need me to be strong in his hands...

[futhark]

[ 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.

[minogame]

I guess.

( He supposes. If this was audio, he'd be able to hear Urashima's voice drag reluctantly in agreement. )

I'm not afraid of getting hurt, you know. I'm really strong! But if I get hurt too much, I can't help Nari around the temple. And my friends worry. And it's not fun being hurt.

[futhark]

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]

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.]

[challengesfate]

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

[artificialrose]

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