[It's a bit overcast today, isn't it? Clouds rumble lightly in the sky above, dark with rain that has yet to actually fall. It is still pretty hot outside, but at least the weather is beginning to cool, right? Fall must be right around the corner!]

[If you happen to be taking a moment to enjoy the great outdoors, then you may stumble across some friends in green uniforms hanging out around the equipment shed.]

[bowtiedbones]

Shouldn’t everyone??

[pissandvinegar]

[ lol ]

Of course, everyone desires peace. But there are degrees of 'dislike.' And... different facets to dislike.

[bowtiedbones]

I don't like the people hurting other people facet.

[pissandvinegar]

Then, isn't it better to think of these as tools of protection to be used against monsters?

[bowtiedbones]

Is that what you use your sword for?

[pissandvinegar]

I did.

[bowtiedbones]

I’ve never fought anybody or anything. Most dangerous monsters have already been eradicated… It’s why I study skeletons.

…But I have my dragonwolves…

They would kill for me. That’s their job. So a sword is kind of like them too…?

[pissandvinegar]

If it were a spiritual sword, even more so. They have their own will, too.

[bowtiedbones]

Really...? A sword like that would be kind of cool, actually.

[pissandvinegar]

[ a mild, agreeing noise ]

Not all are equal, of course. But even the weakest spiritual sword is still pure and loyal in its essence.

[bowtiedbones]

Pure and loyal is full cool.

[pissandvinegar]

I always liked them.

[bowtiedbones]

You said you teach the sword, right?

[pissandvinegar]

I do.

[bowtiedbones]

So, in your professional opinion, should I get a knife or something? Would you show me how to use it safely?

[pissandvinegar]

... If it were a monster or a ghoul, and not a person, would you still hesitate to use it?

[bowtiedbones]

[shakes her head]

No. ...I don't think so? I've gone hunting with my familiars before.

[pissandvinegar]

Then, yes. I can instruct you in it.

But, when it comes to fighting humans, I think you should continue to try to use other means.

[bowtiedbones]

I really want to summon a hellhound. I can't, but I want to.

[pissandvinegar]

[ , ]

Even before, or because you're here?

[bowtiedbones]

Because I'm here. But they're really good guard dogs.

[pissandvinegar]

Then, I hope to meet them someday in the near future.

[bowtiedbones]

But for now, weapons?

[pissandvinegar]

[ nods ]

Choose something that feels like a comfortable length and weight in your hand. I'll take it and restore it to... a more workable state. After that, lessons.

[bowtiedbones]

Okay.

[the broadswords look imitating and the knives look like something she would have to get up close with. she's fit, but she's not a brawler like that... some of them would be nice for breaking down monsters after they're already dead, but she's getting distracted.

she holds up a smallsword and make a practice lunge with it like she's seen fencers do with their longer rapiers on TV]

What about this one? It feels light and fast.
