Mission Twenty Three

[triela]

[maybe it's too soon since the attacks to ask, but Triela likes to keep herself busy, and Hilshire would never forgive her if she slacked in training]

I was wondering if there are any good fighters who would be willing to act as my sparring partner? Or someone who can supervise me when I train? I don't need instruction but it would help to have someone there to watch my progress.

I might be able to help you. What kind of sparring are you looking for?

My preference is hand-to-hand.

[triela]

Hand-to-hand works for me.

[alwaysaquestion]

Great. When do you want to get started?

[triela]

As soon as possible.

[alwaysaquestion]

I'm free now.

[vengefully]

That depends on the type of training.

[triela]

Fighting, mostly.

[vengefully]

I know that, but what kind?

[triela]

Any kind. I'm adept at martial arts but I'm willing to learn other styles.

[vengefully]

Something like taijutsu then.

[kamenriderdecade]

If you need a sparring partner, I can offer that at least.

[triela]

I appreciate it, thank you.

[kamenriderdecade]

So, where and when?

[triela]

I think an open area within the castle grounds would work best. And whatever time is best for you will work for me. I don't have much else to do around here.

[disciplines]

Would you be open to one who could correct you along the way? Part of supervising is making sure you do not veer off the right track. I admit it'd be odd for me not to instruct, but I suppose I could keep that to myself for now.

[triela]

I could try. Hilshire doesn't instruct me too much so it might take some getting used to.

[incantati]

I wouldn't be much help, myself, but I'm glad you see you've gotten several offers already.

[triela]

Yes, they've all been very gracious so far. [let's hope they don't mind fighting a little girl]

[incantati]

[ something else he would probably suck at. ]

Are you used to having a supervisor?

[triela]

Yes. My handler Hilshire is almost always with me. Sometimes we work separately but I still report to him. When he comes, I want him to see that I've continued my training.

[incantati]

Did you ever tell me what exactly it is that you train for?

[oneechan]

I'm a black belt in karate, if that counts?

[triela]

Really? That's great!

[oneechan]

Would that be spar-able? I wasn't sure what you were looking for...

[triela]

No, it's fine. Thank you!
