[Greetings, everyone. Not that you can expect many greetings right now, since for some reason there is a crying teenage girl being shown on video.]

I... I lost?! To a snowman?! How could I lose to a snowman of all things?! They can't even breathe!

[Yes, this is clearly the most terrible thing that could ever happen, for she is bawling.]

You shouldn't underestimate snowmen.

[ it was an honorable loss... or something. ]

How did he even do that?! It was like he had no blind spots! I couldn't even land a single hit on the guy! And his eyes were cold as ice!

[Why yes, I am having too much fun with this.]

The first rule of battle is to stay cool and collected... Snowmen are experts at that.

[ he supposes?? ]

[dog_in_training]

Hmm... That does make sense, but it doesn't sound quite right for some reason...

[defiesfinality]

Just make a plan and try kicking its ass again.

[Video]

[dog_in_training]

That makes sense! I'll definitely do that! There's no way I'll lose twice!

[Video]

[defiesfinality]

Still, why would ya pick a fight with a snowman in the first place?

[Video]

[dog_in_training]

[Why is everyone acting like she's the one in the wrong?! So confused.]

Because it challenged me...?

[dog_in_training]

But it's so vexing! How could I lose to something that doesn't even have hands?!

He's not just big! He's actually really fast, too. I didn't manage a single hit on him.

[hystorical]

A fighting snowman? There's so many varieties of these snowmen, aren't there?

Are you hurt?

[dog_in_training]

I'm fine. He didn't make a single attack the entire time. He just blocked every single one of my attacks like he wasn't even trying, and once I was all tired out, he said I wasn't even worth fighting and left! That's even worse!

[hystorical]

He hadn't made a single attack...? What made you decide to fight him, then?

[dog_in_training]

Because he challenged me?

[Yes, it really is that simple to her.]

Did the snowman do battle with you?

[Her snowman seemed rather harmless and only liked flattering her. So she's kind of confused.]

video;

[dog_in_training]

...In a matter of speaking? He challenged me to a battle, and when I fought him, he blocked every single attack, saying I was too slow to ever match him. After about an hour of that, he said I wasn't even worth fighting and left!

[Gwendolyn gives her a sympathetic nod at that.]

Such actions and words would indeed hurt one's pride. If it would help you, I would be willing to train with you to hone your skills.

[That and Gwendolyn would like to keep up her own skills. Having some sparring partners would be nice.]

[dog_in_training]

Really?! That would be great! I haven't had anyone to train with for a while!

[...By which she means maybe a day or two.]
