Sixth Duel [Text/Voice Post, Japanese]  
Okay, that's it. No more excuses.

Prydain, you've mentioned something about there being morning training before, right? I'm going.

There's no sense in letting what I already know about swordfighting go to waste here. Umi, I hope that you're willing to give me some pointers. I'm not exactly that close to being a fencing champion. I remember what that duel with Juri-senpai was like.

On that note, I'd like to know if anyone can tell me where I can find a decent sword. I don't know how easy or hard they are to come by in a place like this... but I'm not going to keep letting this stupid practice sword hold me back from the times where I need to protect my friends!

Trade is the way things are settled here, right? I'll do what I can. That's a promise.

Beat... I hope that you're okay.

Training...?
[identity profile] powerfail.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 08:53 pm (UTC)
Oh! Oh! Where is it? I'm so clumsy with my sword, and my magic doesn't work here.
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 09:09 pm (UTC)
Eh...? Where did you

Who are you?
[identity profile] powerfail.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 09:10 pm (UTC)
My name is Raenef V! What's your name, mister?

Hey, that's right, Prydain mentioned that you fence!

I'd love to have a match sometime, if you're interested. Or, I help out teaching the morning training sessions too, if you want to stop by sometime.
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 09:14 pm (UTC)
Ah, well... I know some things.

Sure, Umi! I'd be glad to have a match with you sometime, and I think I'll take you up on that help too.

Eh heh. I'm still just an amateur when it comes to sword fighting. Back at home, I could stand pretty evenly with my senpai, but... you could tell that they had more skill than me.
[identity profile] embracethewaves.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 09:50 pm (UTC)
...Some things?

Great! You'll have to go easy on me though, I've definitely gotten rusty with fencing since I got here. Anyway, let me know when would be a good time for you, okay?
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 10:08 pm (UTC)
Mm. Moves that I wasn't officially taught. I just... kind of picked them up.

Heh heh. I don't think that will be much of a problem. But I'll try to watch myself, okay? It sounds like this will be something good for the two of us in the end, huh?

Mm! I will.

Yeah, they're in the gym, Iroh's in charge of them.

The Elrics can probably help you with a sword?
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 11:12 pm (UTC)
Just like that? Unless you mean one of the practice swords... I already, uh... kinda helped myself to one. Self-defense.

Really? Do you know how I can get in touch with one of them?
[identity profile] not-riku-thx.livejournal.com on June 1st, 2009 11:37 pm (UTC)
No, I meant for training and sparring. But Iroh lends out the training blades, so...so I'm sure that's fine.

They're...around? They're usually busy doing repairs and things. But Al wears a huge suit of armor, and Ed's kind on the short and blonde, with a braid. Oh and he wears a red coat.

[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 12:03 am (UTC)
That's what I thought. I'll see if I can talk to Iroh about letting me hold onto this one later.

I guess I'll have to track one of them down. They sound... kind of unique though. That shouldn't be too hard.

Someone is offering training?
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 12:01 am (UTC)
[text]
Mm. But don't feel too bad, Raidou-kun.

I don't think I would have noticed if Prydain didn't say anything about it in the first place.
[identity profile] seasaltsnack.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 12:00 am (UTC)
Sorry I can't help out too much with anything..but when you get a sword, I'd be up for sparring? I'm getting better at using the bat I've got!
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 12:06 am (UTC)
It's all right, Hayner. Just the fact that you're trying is enough for me to appreciate it, you know?

Actually... If it's just a bat, then I wouldn't mind being up for a spar with you right now! My practice sword should be able to hold up.

I think a real word would just cut something like that down to splinters.
[identity profile] seasaltsnack.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 12:11 am (UTC)
Yeah..

Well, the one I usually use nowadays is a metal bat, but I could grab one of my Struggle bats instead? They're good for sparring without worrying about hurting anyone, and they're close enough to a normal bat for me so I don't have to worry about getting used to it.

I'm game whenever you are!
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 12:25 am (UTC)
Oh, right... I almost forgot. That actually sounds pretty useful.

Mm. If it's not too much trouble, I mean. I guess I got ahead of myself, huh? You'd be the one to turn my weapon to splinters if we didn't change things up like this! Heh heh. I think I know what you mean there, but then the sword that I used to have was pretty light.

All right!

You do sword fighting?
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 2nd, 2009 01:54 am (UTC)
...Isn't that what I said?

Why do you ask?
[identity profile] beanie-pwns-u.livejournal.com on June 3rd, 2009 03:38 am (UTC)
Just wonderin', jeez. You're one of the new Gohl girls, aren't you? Hn... glad to know some of you girlies can defend yourselves.
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 3rd, 2009 03:44 am (UTC)
Ah- I didn't mean to sound defensive. Just... yeah.

Mm. That's right. Prydain is letting me stay in the other rowhouse. My name is Utena Tenjou.

...and what is that supposed to mean?!

Sword fighting? That sounds...interesting.
[identity profile] to-blossom.livejournal.com on June 3rd, 2009 12:53 am (UTC)
[Oh, Ritsu. You can do it!]
Really? I guess... it used to be something I was kind of interested in for a long time.

I never thought I'd end up being skilled in it. I used to watch some of Juri-senpai's matches in the fencing club, but this is the first time I've ever done any training.

[Watch as he fails miserably]
Oh...well you should be careful because...swords are sharp...and stuff.
