The cold weather didn't deter Michael from going outside. He had some excess energy to work off.
Losing his edge didn't appeal to him, particularly now. Or at any time.
At the far end of the lake, he'd found a clearing, rocky ground, slightly uphill and out of sight of the water. Practicing. Exercise.
He started with the basic block and strike combinations he knew, then on to more difficult patterns. A bit later, he switched to the simple
sword-drills he'd learned so far. He'd grown accustomed to the weight and feel of it, and the weapon appealed to him. Of course, guns did too, but they had their limits.
Botherable. (For now, though threads will of necessity have to be slowtimed today)
