[Public option #1
VIDEO. Setsuna was standing in what looks like an empty field, with some makeshift target dummies in the background, constructed of wood (from nether trees, apparently).]

Uhm, excuse the interruption, but I would have a request, if you would be so kind.

Is there anyone present in this place who is skilled with the sword - or any other close combat weapon? Just like a blade's edge dulls if unsharpened, the skills of a warrior might dull, so I would be looking for someone to spar with, if you would be so kind.

Thank you kindly in advance.

[Setsuna bowed deeply.]

[Public Option #2
ACTION Setsuna was...leaning against sitting near a tree, sword in hand. In the area near her were some practice dummies, made of wood, that had evidently taken some swordly abuse.

Setsunas eyes were closed, as if meditating. Unfortunately, in reality, she had just dozed off.
But certainly, nobody would be cruel enough to dump a bucket of ice water on a sleeping half crow demontotally human girl!]

I had to be taught like this, otherwise I'd never have been worthy of even the consideration of becoming Konoka-ojousama's protector.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Oh yeah, your gir-your friend.

So you did it for her then?

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Y-yes, her. Did she mean to say-

W-well, among others, I was already being trained before that, but it only got meaning after that if that makes any sense.

[hit_girl_mindy]

Nah, I get it. It makes sense.

I mean, I had something to drive me when I trained too.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[She nodded]

That's really all there is to it. I wasn't using this as an excuse for anything in any way.

Did you have a teacher...?

[hit_girl_mindy]

I'll bet there is.

Yeah, actually. Pretty good guy. Crazy, but good.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

My teacher wasn't crazy, though, uhm, I wouldn't call them crazy even if they were, because...

[Because well, she wouldn't do tbat, for the most part. Stiff Setsuna and all.]

Do you have any particular things you would want me to avoid doing during combat?

[hit_girl_mindy]

[Hey, Mindy was allowed to call her dad crazy. Most parents wouldn't do what he did. But crazy did not mean stupid or horrible. Just crazy.]

I dunno. List me your specs.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Mindy was, but Setsuna had swallowed a pile of sticks, and, well, wouldn't do so. Mostly due to the sticks.]

Mostly various punches and grappling moves, which I can reinforce with chi if that would be fitting.

[hit_girl_mindy]

[Mindy would really like to know about this stick story, because it sounds kind of hardcore].

Chi huh? Sounds like martial arts. I might be at a disadvantage in some places, but I make up for it elsewhere.

Have a nice day, thanks for the tags~

[im_gonna_protect_u]

[Metaphor!]

Oh, uhm, yes, it is a style of martial arts. I do not have to use these particular techniques, however!

Not a problem, it was fun!

[hit_girl_mindy]

[Damn!]

What would you use instead?

Fictional martial arts are silly.

[im_gonna_protect_u]

Well, just normal moves, the, uhm, chi is optional.

Re: Fictional martial arts are silly.

[hit_girl_mindy]

I haven't fought anyone in awhile, so give your chi stuff a shot.
