... Hypothetically speaking, if someone were to look into finding somewhere to y'know. Spar. Train. Keep the rust off their fighting skills in case we get something worse than a sewer full of giant vines trying to swat us like flies for the hell of it. That kind of thing. Is there anywhere around here that would fit that kind of criteria?

What're the chances of half of those Knights they've got posted around here sticking their noses where they aren't wanted? Most of the Knightly types I've come across aren't the type to just nod and let a bunch of people waving weapons around get on with their day without throwing a tantrum.

And if that's the case and the chances are high... whereabouts here are they least likely to go snooping?

Or take the longest to get to. I'm not picky.

[ Hypothetically speaking, of course. ]

I was able to spar with Elric in the park just fine without being bothered.

And he’s a small sixteen year old boy and I’m an adult soldier so I would have completely understood if the Knights had decided to break up our sparring. But they didn’t.

[genrouzan]

If there are enough people there with weapons that know how to use them, I'd like to see them try to stop any sparring.

But I guess we're not activity out to antagonise anyone, so I'd rather just avoid the whole possibility.

Good to know though. You didn't see any of them wandering around or did they just not care?

[sometimespawnskillkings]

I honestly wasn’t paying attention.

Elric was teaching me how to fight, and I really didn’t want to get distracted from that.

[And focusing is something that Temple is really good at.]

[genrouzan]

I'll have to look around myself then, before I mark it down as a potential.

Maybe relax the tunnel vision in a real fight though. Enemies aren't gonna wait in line for you to finish of one of them before jumping in on the action. That's half the fun.

[sometimespawnskillkings]

Maybe that’s part of why I was never good in real fights, and had stopped participating in them till I came here.

[Here, where he can’t lead a team who fights for him, where he has to do all his combat himself, where he has none of his former allies.]

[Where he wants to fight but can’t do the stuff he always used to do to win his battles.]
