Glance 256

[venomouselle]

Everyone and their fucking brother fancies themselves a swordsman. Whatever. Who has the training and blade to prove it? I'm just wondering so don't get hard over it.

My bruises are fading. I guess that's it then. What R am I filled with?

I've been a good girl. Anyone know where I can get one of these? No magic shit. No fix ups.

There are many swordsmen here?

Hm.

I am one also.

[venomouselle]

Quite a few True swordsmen...well, I think that is a different question entirely.

[inshiningkevlar]

Ah? How so?

[venomouselle]

Just because a person says something doesn't mean that it's true.

[inshiningkevlar]

It is as you say.

Do you consider yourself a swords... ah, woman?

[venomouselle]

Yes, I do.

[inshiningkevlar]

I see.

Ah. Manners.

I am Sanya.

[venomouselle]

Hello there, Sanya. Elle. Nice to meet you.

[inshiningkevlar]

You also.

So, in your vision, what is it that makes a swordsman? Assuming there is more to it than merely handling a weapon.

[venomouselle]

In my vision, a swordsman has the skill to show for it and the command of a beautiful weapon.

[inshiningkevlar]

That is not too much to ask, I should think. By your reasoning, then, my teacher was a swordsman.

[venomouselle]

I take it that he sucked. Well, a master swordsman is on a higher level than mere swordsman. Some people boast the skill but are just fill of shit.

[inshiningkevlar]

No. He was masterful. One of the only Knights in recent memory to fight the leader of the Denarians (ah, that is demons from my world) to a standstill in single-combat. I am adequate with a blade, but not his peer.

[venomouselle]

Too bad your master isn't here. I would have loved to meet him. I'm sure you at least learned a thing or two.

[inshiningkevlar]

He has been dead several years. I also wish he was here.

Some. Else I would not still be alive.

[venomouselle]

The good ones are dead.
