Sixth Duel [Text/Voice Post, Japanese]

[to_blossom]

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.

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.

When you'd got one, I'd like to see what you can do...count me in for a match?

[She laughs.] Oi, oi... I always thought that I'd end up with more enemies interested in fighting with me than friends.

Hm. All right. I'll keep that in mind, Prydain.

Just for fun! I mean, don't go easy, but...You know.

I just like to see how you fight. Umi and you and Saber to, and...Yorda's trying to use that sword of hers, but it is a little big for her.

Then it sounds like it will be good for me to get in some practice first! Don't worry, I understand.

Okay. I'll be looking forward to it then. Heh. With the way things are going, I might even be able to tell you a little bit about how Umi fights too.

Oh, I've been sparring her since last year. She's really good.

[to-blossom.livejournal.com]

Would you believe that she was the one who told me to take it easy on her?

It sounds like I'll really be in for it now.

Oh, she's just playing humble. You should see her with her rapier-thing.
