Hope

[antegelic]

OH BOY OH BOY MASTER c: /wags tail?

[resolvetolive]

[ Cue awkward silver haired boy noticing and walking over. ]

Are we starting?

.......lmao. get out of here Dug :I

[antegelic]

[He sees Hope from his creeper post post of vigilance, and nods in greeting. As for the question, here's an affirmative grunt.]

First we will get away from the village. It's more spacious, and less noisy. We'll be able to focus better.

[Follow tall mysterious man into the woods? He has candy.]

B-But my name's Hope. : <

[resolvetolive]

[ He nods and follows. Oh boy, candy. ]

So what're we gonna do once we get there, just sword training?

....whatever B|

[antegelic]

[Through the woods, through the woods...]

We'll begin with the basics, yes. You're also interested in using magic, correct?

: < /sulks

[resolvetolive]

[ Over the river and through the woods? ]

Mm, yeah. I want to get stronger for my friends.

nut up or shut up :I

[antegelic]

[.....Sure. But not to grandmother's house.]

A good reason. What is it that you hope to accomplish?

YES SIR. :T

[resolvetolive]

[ .. I don't have a grandma :< ]

By getting stronger, I want to be able to protect my friends- I don't wanna be a hindrance to them.

......good B|

[antegelic]

[......goddang Final Fantasy characters and your lack of parentage. I swear to god, you all just...congeal in the gutter somewhere.]

I see. You are tired of having to rely on your friends, and so you want to become a more dependable person.

[Oh look, a clearing. Excellent. He steps forward into the cleared area and then stops.] ....This will be suitable.

: <

[resolvetolive]

[ Sir what's congeal mean? I'm only fourteen. o3o ]

Mm, I want to be the one others depend on this time.

Alright, so where do we start?

one of these days we will be online at the same time :|

[antegelic]

[There's a bag of tricks leather pack slung over his shoulder, holstering various swords. He selects one and offers it to Hope, placing the rest down beside a tree.]

You'll need this first. [Good place to start: HAVING a sword.]

Take it out of the sheath. ....I'll assume that at the very least you've seen someone else wield a sword.

ahhh that'll be the day.

[resolvetolive]

[ Hope grabs hold of the handle and examine it for a moment before listening to Kratos' words and actually doing so. Nodding, he tugs it out of the sheath after some effort. ]

Yeah, it's not the same kind of sword, but it's the same concept.. sort of.

maybe when I stop drowning in the end of the school year

[antegelic]

Good.

[Kratos unsheathes his own sword -- not his shifter, but one he picked up for himself to compensate for the shifter's finickiness.]

Now attack me. [These training lessons aren't for pussies, son. :|]

Same. : <

[resolvetolive]

Wait, what-- [ He pauses to catch himself and grimaces at the other before nodding. Right, training; had to fix things. Had to get stronger.

He rushes at Kratos. ] Ahhh-!

/has stopped drowning finally

[antegelic]

[He blocks the attack and uses Hopes momentum against him to push the boy's blade down and to the side. But nice try.]

Your form is sloppy. Instead of wildly charging, have an idea of precisely where you want to hit.

Try again.

huzzah but the game is to close sob. : <

[resolvetolive]

[ W-whoa, kind of shaky when that happens but he pulls the blade back and nods, aiming this time for Kratos' side. ]

Hah!
