What's all this I hear about magic and schools and...owls? [Surely he heard wrong, right?] Is it one of those reality shifts? I can't say I'm sorry I missed that one.

[Owls are mysterious enough without adding magic to them.]

I'm trying to find a good place to practice. All things considered, I don't think it would be good for me to become sluggish.

[Who knows? He might have friends he wants to defend one day. People seem to flock to him even if he isn't particularly social. At all.]

Anyone else use a sword?

[animusangelus]

So you're just bragging?

[ofhope]

Knowing how to use a sword is hardly bragging rights. Many people here do. I'm surprised there aren't more flocking to this...but everyone's gotten pretty lazy.

[animusangelus]

Seems like. [He sighs.] Laziness won't protect them.

[ofhope]

Then will you?

[animusangelus]

I can't say I'll sit on the sidelines.

[ofhope]

So they all say.

[animusangelus]

I'm not a liar.

[ofhope]

Everyone's a liar.

[animusangelus]

To some degree. Usually not where it matters.

[ofhope]

What matters is subjective.

[animusangelus]

What matters to you?

[ofhope]

We haven't even had a second date. How personal.

[animusangelus]

Who said you deserve a date?

[ofhope]

That's not how you woo answers out of someone.

[animusangelus]

I don't woo. [Ask Tifa.] Either answer or don't. I was just curious.

[ofhope]

I won't.

But what matters here isn't always the same as what matters at your home.

[animusangelus]

I get that things are different. But I'm used to someone trying to control what I do. [His aggravation is likely noticeable.] Trying.

[ofhope]

This isn't someone, though.

[animusangelus]

Same effect. Except, this time, there's no one to fight.

[ofhope]

Just give it time. You'll get something to fight.

[animusangelus]

Will it do any good?

[ofhope]

Depends on what you want out of it, obviously.

[animusangelus]

Freedom would be nice.

[ofhope]

Well, start walking. Nobody's keeping you at the castle, even if you can't go back home.

[animusangelus]

Doesn't sound appealing.
