[ritualization]

Being able to openly support someone without giving away my actual alignment has had its uses, especially this week.

[selfimmolates]

I wouldn't doubt it.

[he glances around.]

Actually, I have another favour to ask.

[ritualization]

Full of them today, hm? Go ahead.

[selfimmolates]

Spar with me.

... Well, I guess it's more like "teach me how to fight", since I doubt I'm anywhere near as skilled as you.

[because he's pretty sure guy is never going to ever again after ray, uh, stabbed him.]

[ritualization]

[that's reasonable, tbh.

ishi hums under his breath, but eventually he nods.]

I have not often been a teacher, but I will do my best to show you what you need to know. No steel until I'm satisfied you'll handle it well enough, though.

[he is. a much more cautious person than guy.]

[selfimmolates]

That's fair. Mind if I use a practice dagger? I don't think I'd be too good with a sword.

[ritualization]

Your size is better suited to one, I think-- although it is not a fighting style I myself am very familiar with, I've at least sparred with several who use them. I believe we can manage.

[selfimmolates]

All right. I trained a little with someone here before, so I've got the basics down, I think.

[ritualization]

Good. We'll test that, and then if you're sufficiently familiar, I can move on to showing you how to handle a larger opponent. Most of us would be, for you.

[selfimmolates]

Unfortunately. [why are all of you so old.] Well, I'll just try and use my size to my advantage.

[ritualization]

That should be the best strategy-- if they cannot easily hit you, it matters less that you cannot run them through.

[and with that all said, he finally finishes up with the sword and sheathes it again, glancing between ray and the weapons nearby.]

Would you like to begin now, or would you rather meet again?

[selfimmolates]

Depends. Do you have time now?

[ritualization]

I don't have anything pressing to attend to, no. Right now, I am waiting to see what tomorrow brings.

[ishi you could just say yes, jesus christ.]

[selfimmolates]

Then it'll be a good opportunity to take your mind off things for now. I've taken care of most of my business, anyway.
