[The video flicks on, and Ken is on-screen, leaning against his spear. He's got a question, and so he might as well ask it.]

So I've been wondering. I know a lot of us are good with weapons, but it might be a good idea to get better with more than one. I've been using a spear for a while, so if anyone wants to get training in that or a staff, I can train you.

Maybe we can even set up a list of teachers so whoever wants to learn a weapon can look for them all in one place. What do you think?

Fighting classes? That's a great idea, Ken.

[More training? Akihiko is so in.]

We all come from so many different places here, everyone could probably learn a thing or two.

[Video]

[chivalrygrudge]

That's what I thought, too. We could either run it through the defense force, or do it separately, whichever would work better.

[Video]

[caesar]

[He nods, in full agreement with everything Ken's saying.]

We'll see what Arisato has to say about it. In the mean time though, I still want to learn how to use a spear. You're still up for having me as your first student, right?

[Video]

[chivalrygrudge]

Of course.

[He nods, and grins.]

Whenever you're up for it, I'm ready.

[Video]

[caesar]

[Akihiko can't help but match that grin.]

I have some time... How about right now?

[Video]

[chivalrygrudge]

That sounds good to me. We can meet in the park.

[Video]

[caesar]

[Akihiko gives a short nod.]

Right. I'll see you there, Ken - looking forward to seeing what you've got.

[Video]

[chivalrygrudge]

Of course.

[bufudine]

[ It sounds like a good idea. But more importantly...]

Are you... a child?

[ GREAT FIRST IMPRESSION.]

voice

[chivalrygrudge]

[H-huff!]

I'm twelve. I'm not a child anymore.

voice

[bufudine]

[...? Serph definitely sounds confused.]

Isn't a child a human between the ages 4 to 15?

[Was Gale's information incorrect??]

voice

[chivalrygrudge]

... If you want to be really strict about the definition, yeah.

But I can take care of myself, and a child can't.

voice

[bufudine]

I see.

[Well, it's not like age really matters to him.]

Your idea has merit. I would not mind learning from you, when you have the time.

voice

[chivalrygrudge]

Really?

[ER WAIT HE SHOULDN'T ACT SO SURPRISED.]

Uh... sure. When are you free?

voice

[bufudine]

Now is a good time.

[Hmm... mornings are busy and nights... best to avoid outside commitments at that time altogether.]

Otherwise, early afternoons.

voice

[chivalrygrudge]

Do you think you can meet me in about an hour and a half in the park?

voice

[bufudine]

I can.

[ooc: Would you prefer to swap to action or handwave? I don't mind either.]

voice

[chivalrygrudge]

I'll see you then.

[[ooc; Handwave? /slow tagging lately sob ;w; ]]

[bufudine]

[ooc: Sure!

Serph'll have listened to Ken and followed his instructions closely! I think he'll have picked up Ken's lesson quickly since he's a fast learner (especially for combat oriented things) 8|a But he definitely won't be anywhere near as good with the spear as Ken.]

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

Not a bad idea.

[A pause.]

You use a spear?

[video]

[chivalrygrudge]

Thanks. And yeah, I do.

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

That's impressive. [Especially for someone of that kid's size.] Can you use anything else?

[video]

[chivalrygrudge]

Not with traditional weapons, but my Persona uses light and electricity spells.

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

[Squall is familiar with magic, but not this Persona thing.]

Persona?

[video]

[chivalrygrudge]

Yeah. It's a part of yourself that you can summon. Some of us here can use it.

[video]

[unshelledbullet]

[He doesn't find that weird. It sounds a lot like Guardian Forces to him.]

That's interesting. How long have you been fighting?

[video]

[chivalrygrudge]

A few months with it, though I taught myself how to use a spear about a year before that.

[tsundyne]

...I think a record of something like that would be pretty handy. It's definitely something that should be brought up with the Defense Force.

[Which she is conveniently a part of!

And Ken, too, presumably. But I could be wrong.]

[chivalrygrudge]

I thought so, too.

[No you're right.]

[tsundyne]

Obviously. [Bringing it up, after all.] It'd probably help Minato a lot. If you've already started, you can list me under bow and arrows.

But I can help, too, if you want. [It's a lot of names to deal with after all.]

[chivalrygrudge]

Sure. We can combine our lists.

[tsundyne]

Sounds good to me. Were there any weapons you wanted to learn in particular?

[chivalrygrudge]

I was thinking a sword, or maybe boxing like Akihiko-senpai does...

[tsundyne]

Ohh. Gotcha.

[Senpai is pretty admirable in the ring. Even for such a...mindless sport.]

Well, he and Minato-kun would be more than happy to teach ya, I'm sure.

[chivalrygrudge]

[IT'S NOT MINDLESS IT'S VERY STRATEGIC. 8( ]

Probably. Though I was thinking maybe I should find a different teacher than Minato-senpai... he has a lot on his plate.

[tsundyne]

[LOLSHHH Yukari doesn't actually have any idea about these things--

She nods though. Because Ken's got a point about that.]

Right. He's hardly the only one who can use a sword. You'll find someone...in fact, I think he practices with N-kun a lot.
