"As long as things aren't too slippery, I've never had that problem."
"Then you're either lucky or skilled with 'em, I figure. You get plenty've practice in here?"
"I do. Melee Island is a good place to train in swords and axes."
"I still ain't worked with swords at all. I should look into stopping over there sometime when you're there."
"I usually go in the evenings. Would you like to join me tonight?"
"...Yeah. I'd like that. You wanna grab something to eat after?" [A pause.] "If you ain't, y'know. Doing anything else."
"That should be fine. Something light will be good."
"Right. I could make something, too. Ain't got much else to do. You could come over after, The spa ain't too far from Melee."
[Paladin sounds pleasantly surprised] "That would be very nice, thank you. ...My lunch break is almost over, so I should probably be going."
"Right... yeah. I'll see you tonight, then?" [He sounds... almost hopeful, asking for confirmation.]
"Yes. Around six?"
"Sounds good. I'll be there."
