week 4; monday

[sacredpath]

[picking out a peppermint morningstar and testing its weight in her hands.

anyway, the mood today is sad, but doing a little better than she was over the weekend.]

You would not believe how poorly these hold up against skeletons.

[historicals]

[ it's important to know that taair's emotions blip a "oh! pretty!" emotion at her haircut. it's important to me, sisi because i respect your bangs choices

anyway. this comment makes him laugh from where he's looking at a fancy looking rapier made out of... some kind of hard candy. it smells like lemons. ]

I think I might! But I'm sure it was a thrilling adventure - or at least one very sweet-smelling.

[sacredpath]

[it's just such a better hairstyle i have to make these things happen.]

I would not say it was either of those things. We primarily wandered about lost for an endless amount of time and fought skeletons.

[historicals]

[ you are so right for it ]

Those both sound like an adventure to me.

[ heehee. he picks up the rapier and gives it an experimental wiggle with like. zero swordfighting form at all because this is the first time he's ever held one. ]

Then again, most of things you all get up to feel adventurous to me. [ he pokes with the rapier again - hah! like a swashbuckling rogue. ] How I would love to tell the stories of the things you've all done.

[sacredpath]

Ah. You really have not carried a sword before, have you?

[fond.]

I am not amongst our three greatest swordsmen, but I would be happy to show you.

[she's trained to use basic weapons. she's not extremely skilled, her power is more based on magic, but she can wield a sword or a lance or what have you.]

[historicals]

Would you really?

[ his emotions are delighted, immediately. just like a flower bloomed in this room. ]

Oh - I would love to, Miss Shadowheart. And I wouldn't mind a lesson on your three greatest swordsmen, either.

[ that part's a joke, laughing a little as he readjusts how he's standing, ready to be a Good Student TM. ]

I was told often I'd never need to learn to wield a weapon. [ considering his whole grew up in a tower thing. ] So, I taught myself magic, but... I lacked the capacity to self-educate when it comes to anything physical.

[sacredpath]

I mean the three of ours. Mizu, Uruha and Saber.

[who could say was best, but they are all so proud of them.]

I'm certainly much more useful with magic than with weapons, but it cannot hurt to know both. There are times when magic would not suffice.

[okay so she will pick up a rapier though because it is obvious this boy should be using finesse weapons.]

[historicals]

[ oh - he laughs. ]

Yes, of course! Now those legends I am familiar with.

[ there's immediate pinging of fondness because taair!!! loves his friends!!! and he happily takes up the rapier to match her, all curiosity and interest and focus. ]

And this is certainly a time where magic does not suffice... [ considering their lack of powers... he doesn't need to say that its dangerous but. you know. ] You're a woman of many talents, Miss Shadowheart.

Marcoh taught me how to throw a punch, and both Adolphe and Yves have taught me a bit of self defense, but neither are really... well...effective.

But this! Surely, this will be - so long as the weapon doesn't crumble.

[sacredpath]

A few talents, many of them combat related.

[she's not really a particularly form and technique focused fighter, it's really just the basics, but she'll help him adjust his form a bit.]

It will, if you are too forceful with it. But maybe you'll have the chance to acquire something a bit sturdier.

[historicals]

[ he is a very good student - he listens to her pointers and adjusts properly, holding the rapier in a more natural stance with guidance. it looks very natural if only because of the lessons, but he seems deeply happy to be absorbing the basics too. ]

And some aren't, like telling jokes. [ there's an emotion surge here - a warmth of friendship, genuine and happy. these are the things he lives for, these little connections, much more so than the weapon itself. ]

And, I will keep that in mind! Luckily, I am not terribly forceful. [ he gives a couple jabs with the rapier, testing it out. ] Do you think we may? Find sturdier things, that is. I don't suppose the enemies you faced carried weapons that were not made of sugar...
