[scythegun]

A large open room should be good! Or outside, if you'd prefer, though I doubt we'll have to worry too much about getting blood on the floor!

[...he should make joke about this a little less considering what happened last time...]

[drydrown]

[...Honestly, he'll be more surprised if you don't put him in the hospital as a result of the swordsmanship amateur hour? He doesn't really care about the floor; as long as this doesn't end in the ER he'll be fine.]

As long as we don't somehow damage my piano, that room I have in the back should be fine, then.

[...]

Please go out of your way to not damage my piano.

[scythegun]

Oh trust me, I don't want to damage your piano! I'd hate to have to pay to repair it, or worse, replace it!

[Knowing you, that thing would be way too damn expensive... Assuming it could even be replaced in the first place.]

I'll be careful, I promise!

[drydrown]

Good to know we're on the same page.

[And with that settled, let's go! ...Kitty is squirming, kitty wants down, kitty will eventually be put down because she is like entirely muscle and Cumore is not.

Of she goes. Bye??]

...Well, all right, then.

[scythegun]

[There she goes...]

I'm not really surprised, I doubt she's very fond of strangers.

[Or of being held???]

[drydrown]

She's all right with them, actually; I'd imagine she has to be, given the parties that have happened here. Some days she's less fine with being carried around. but seeing as she also tends to be completely in the way when people come to the door, she needs to be convinced of the notion that she doesn't have much choice in the matter.

[scythegun]

Sounds like you haven't quite taught her that yet! Perhaps someday she'll realize it!

[drydrown]

[Eh.]

Jaeger, she's nineteen. If she hasn't learned by now, she's not going to.

[scythegun]

Oh come now, you never know!

[drydrown]

She's also a cat, granted. So it's likely she knows and is just being willfully ignorant.

[scythegun]

That seems the most likely, really.

[drydrown]

Doesn't it just.

[Well, here we are. He's got a couple of his own swords in here, the ones from Respatrum; they're lighter than the one he used to use in his past life, and decidedly easier to handle.]

I still haven't gotten my own sword back yet - which is likely for the best, really.

[scythegun]

These will be easier to use anyway, at least for now. They'll certainly do fine today!

[Jaeger transforms his weapon from the briefcase form to the sword form. It's not a particularly special or unique sword, so it should be fine against the ones you bought from Respatrum.]

I am a bit curious though... Do you remember anything about sword fighting, or did you forget it all?

[drydrown]

[Mm.]

I remember doing it, but I don't recall how. Like the memories of our past lives, where you sometimes see yourself doing something you know you can't do now.

[scythegun]

That makes sense. I imagine it's a bit frustrating, though.

[Well, anyway.]

Come at me first. Just try to get a feel for it on your own and I'll block your attacks.

[drydrown]

[Just...let him get one of those damn swords, then.]

What, just...charge at you like some kind of barbarian?

[...CUMORE, FOR FUCK'S SAKE, JUST USE THE FUCKING SWORD, YOU'LL BE FINE.]

[scythegun]

[oh my god..... honey......]

Well, preferably you'd use the sword, but if you really want to be a barbarian, I can still fend you off!

[drydrown]

Well, yes, obviously.

[No shit, Jaeger.

...Listen.]

The last time I did this, something was actively trying to kill me. So it was more a matter of needing to figure out what I was doing very quickly.

[scythegun]

Understandable, that's how I remembered a few of my skills as well! First, I want you to get used to the sword. I'll come at you after a few swings, which might trigger it faster. Obviously I'm not going to try to kill you, so we'll have to see if we can make it work like this.

[drydrown]

While I don't particularly care how this comes out, I do enjoy not dying and being dead, yes.

[He'd gotten into that argument a couple of nights ago and it was no one's idea of a good time for a lot of reasons. But you know what, he's just...not going to think about that right now, it's going to piss him off.

...All right, just let him square up and...this is going to be the most awkward attempt at assault with a deadly weapon ever committed, let's go.]

[scythegun]

[Don't worry, he and his husband attempted to fight with knives of course it's going to be awkward.

He'll block it easily though, and keep talking while he's at it, because Jaeger doesn't shut up.]

Not bad! Try again, don't hold back!

[drydrown]

[Oh my god- ]

I don't know how hard you think I can conceivably swing this-

[He's gonna try again anyway, but still...]

[scythegun]

Keep trying, you'll only improve with each attempt!

[He'll block it again, easily.]

Not bad, you certainly can put a lot of power behind your swings, even without your strength back! Again!

[drydrown]

Are you really going to be commentating this whole time?

[cumore you're not exactly shutting up either]

[scythegun]

Of course I am! It's much better than doing this quietly, ja?

[seriously, silence is so awkward???]
