V O I C E ★
[The voice on the other side of the tablet is young and vaguely male, and a little hesitant. Despite being here for months, this is is the first time he's actually tried posting to the network himself, and addressing a sizable, unseen audience, live, is somehow daunting. . . But he knows he needs to find someone, sooner rather than later, so:]
Er. Good afternoon! I'm wondering... if there is anyone here who is skilled with a sword, who would be willing to help train a beginner? I've a few months' practice already. And I don't require formal lessons, but I would appreciate a sparring partner. [ a pause, he clears his throat ]
But, if preferred, I could provide compensation for lessons...
[Though he'd rather not, it seems only prudent to offer. —And oh, right:]
Right, also, my sword is— a bit broad. And tall. And held with one hand? I don't know if that matters!
[He knows for a fact there are talented swordsmen here. One in particular comes to mind immediately, but he's not going to just ask him. And there's one or two others he could possibly wheedle lessons out of, but isn't it best to cast a wide net?
He's about to end the feed there, when he remembers one last thing: ]
And if it's all right, I have a question for those who use one of the Initiative's sentient weapons. ...How long did you train with it before it began to 'evolve'? Were the changes very drastic?
Thank you very much!

Yes, I know. That's why I'm asking.

You... you wield a broadsword with one hand?

Well, yes-! Er, it's because I— [ rip my other arm off? ] have to wield it that way.

Really, he knows nothing about him aside from the fact that he'd been upset when Gilbert had shot that agent in front of them.]
Xerxes Break. [He answers, quietly.]
His personality is terrible, but he's the most skilled person that I know.
voice;
Though now he knows this is definitely that 'Gilbert' Break had been looking for back then. And a friend of Oz's, as well?]
Really? [ Why can't anyone with skill have a pleasant personality, just once...?
Still, NO ONE. NO ONE CAN BE WORSE THAN CROSS. ] Would he want to take on a student, do you think?

As far as evolving weapons--I enchanted a power I had before I came. I guess I saw some change after a couple of weeks of daily training? It depends on how much you use it, I think.
It didn't do anything drastic immediately, but it's gotten pretty amazing now.
voice;
That's quite all right, about your sword. I don't think I'd find anyone with one quite like mine. Whatever time is convenient for you, let me know!
And I suppose a few weeks sounds similar to how quickly mine began changing, as well. Have you been here long...?

...I'd be willing to help. Someone I know uses a sword like that and more often than not, we sparred together. [because there was no one else with enough skill to stand on par with him and beat him—
but he's not going to think too hard about that.]
[video]
Really? Thank you, sir! I would appreciate it.
You really know someone with that sort of sword? [ a pause; he figures there's no harm in checking: ] They're not here now, are they...?

Are you taking up swashbuckling or something?

Hello, Miss Maya!
I don't know that it's swashbuckling. I'm learning how to fight with a sword, is all!

There's his distinctive click of his tongue. Sparring huh? ] I'd gladly beat you again, Beansprout, if that's what you're asking for.
[ He wasn't, and he knew he wasn't, but that's alright. With a bit of a pause and some borderline indifferent consideration, he's continuing. ] It'll be good for you. [ It's unclear if he's referring to the beating he just threatened Allen with, or acknowledgement that the training itself was a good idea.
Safest bet to say it's both. ]
never 1/2
-Wait, are you issuing a challenge, Kanda?
Well, Allen's taking it like one.]
You never beat me, idiot! [Not in HIS timeline! ...yet, which means it doesn't count at all!!]
