Looks like things've quieted down a bit, yes? Wasn't too sure about the danger, meself, but I'm not much a fighter-like, and even if I can't get hurt none, I can't help much either. Though I found a couple sharp stick-things. S'pose I could give something a good jab if it came up to it

It's best if you don't have to fight at all.

[cornered_circle]

Me in particular, or people in generals?

[iceandivory]

...Either way it means the same thing.

[cornered_circle]

But y'ave a sword and all. That's sort of hypercritical, tellin' people not to fight.

[iceandivory]

I'm not telling people not to fight. It's just best if you don't have to.

[cornered_circle]

It'd be best if we all 'ad perfect weather an' the angels I heard about were the ones with wings that grant wishes when you grab 'old of them, but we can't have everything.

Can't even have a lot of things.

But I do have a sharp stick! Ain't a sword that shoots ice, but I can also use it for walking, so I guess it's not so bad.

[iceandivory]

...

Would you want to learn to do more with it?

[cornered_circle]

Don't need it shooting ice or nothing. Or fire, don't much like fire, would probably burn the stick right up.

...Can it be good for more than poking the odd rock t'see if something odder's beneath it?

[iceandivory]

There's giving something a "good jab," and then there's making sure it doesn't jab you back.

[cornered_circle]

It's true I don't much like getting jabbed back. 'M not so good at tapin' the punctures shut.

[iceandivory]

[Somehow, that description was physically painful to hear.]

There are techniques you could use to at least try to avoid it.

[cornered_circle]

[But tape is so handy! Or covery.]

Like dodgy-tips? Dodging-tips, even.

[iceandivory]

Or blocking. Either or.

[cornered_circle]

Might be useful things t'know, in case more odd beasties get set in the streets, keeping us normal folk inside...

[iceandivory]

[Nod.] Ah.

[cornered_circle]

D'you know how I go about figuring it out? Does it involve hitting things with sticks?
