Apparently, in some countries, in some worlds, blonds are considered dumb! [ He smiles like there's some private punchline, not like he's the butt of the joke. ] I just thought I'd share.

Anyway— [ he makes a circling gesture with his left hand ] people like to use this thing to ask questions, right? This is one you'll like. [ By "you" he means the Initiative, which he is sure is always watching. Well, maybe not always but enough that you can't count on them not. ] I want to practice my fencing.

I guess that's not a question though, is it? [ He squints. ] Okay, how's this: I'm looking for a sparring partner. No, still not a question. Hmmm. [ Tapping a finger. ] Anyone up for a match?

I can't promise I'm anything but out of practice, but… that's the whole point of practice.

And I hope everyone's recovered from that out of body experience. Like I was saying before, It's a tricky thing to fight when you don't know which is your swordhand.

Maybe it depends on what you're letting go of - for instance, imagine letting a slice of cake go!

( there's an exaggerated (maybe) horror at the notion. )

[latkje]

No wonder letting yourself go is so much easier.

[velveteened]

Even that probably depends on the kind of person...but! Then it's just starting to get too complicated.

[latkje]

That's why I liked fencing. It doesn't give you time to stop and think.

[velveteened]

It is good for that, isn't it? Well, if you're still looking to have a match, I could be your opponent once - if you wouldn't mind.

[latkje]

I wouldn't've asked if I did.

[velveteened]

In that case! Just name the time and place.

[latkje]

I guess the training area would be the obvious place. And afternoon— I can't say I'm a morning person.

[ We can log this out if you want, or just do an action thread here?? Up to you! ]

Aah, neither can I. It's tiring to try to do too much in the morning!

( a log works! )

(okay I made a thing!)
