2 Swords in the Stone

[reigne]

[Arthur's been avoiding the journal, and this conversation long enough, he thinks. He still finds the use of the book distasteful, but the things he's seen in the past couple of days, all for simply venturing too close to the castle...

Well, there are more important things than quibbling over an item that is for the most part, utterly harmless. Still, he writes in it, rather than speaks]

There is something we must discuss, name the location.

[Because it's only not a request]


When I first arrived, I was told this place was quite the danger. [A pause, but lets be honest he has the sensitivity of a brick wall, so!] While I think the past...several days were highly uncomfortable for everyone involved...That is hardly something I'd label dangerous, and thus requires no apology for my misfortune in having witnessed it.

[Like seriously, it's just a dream and he doesn't want to talk about feelings with....anyone. Ever]

But on the topic of danger, I would like to find someone interested in sparring, or the very least, interested in learning sword work.

[Wow, he sounds like such a guy right now.] Still, it's not pleasant.

Ooooh, really? And no danger of bruised egos or tantrums if a girl totally rocks this whole sword thing, right?

[He sounds like such a guy right now because he only dream hopped, he didn't actually have one to view!] I did not say that it was.

Why should that 'bruise my ego'? I am teaching you, not sparring against you. Understanding the lesson and being able to fight with a sword is the entire point.

[He'd be proud he effectively taught you awesome life skills, Stephanie what] Women wielding swords are not terribly common, and they cannot serve as Knights, but it isn't a non-existent occurrence.

Hey, teaching eventually leads to the young grasshopper challenging the sensei, right? Uh, I mean. Student. Teacher. Challenge. It's fun.

I figured. You might not remember, but I'm pretty badass, Arthur.

[luthored]

[ Yeah she wants to watch this happen. ]

[reigne]

That does not guarantee that would you would win, and a measure of pride is still involved. You would not have had your skill without their instruction, after all.

...I beg your pardon?

[WHAT DOES YOUR ASS HAVE TO DO WITH ANYTHING STEPHANIE? HE WANTS NO PART OF THIS]

[secondchances]

I'm, uh... talented.

[reigne]

...Why could you not have simply said that?
