Oh, my. This is even harder than I had expected!

[And today? Today, Connell woke up and felt the need to learn how to use a weapon. This came from Tyr, since he felt compelled to have Connell learn how to use a weapon. Thanks to today's curse, that urge had transferred over to the person itself. So earlier, Connell had looked around their apartment

Ah! Be careful with that, Connell-san!

[sound_rune]

Oh, Syaoran! [he turns around, towards the direction of the voice-]

[sound_rune]

[... but then, he realizes that Syaoran isn't there. he blinked once.]

... Huh? [hmm... was he hearing things? he could've sworn he heard his voice, though (he still hasn't realized that his device is broadcasting)]

[littlepuppyeyes]

[He realized Connell hasn't realized that yet, so he smiles a bit awkwardly.] I'm... speaking through your device.

[stargathering]

[ Tyr is also cursed out of his mind. With the thought that this place needs to be clean and he'll be the one to clean it! ]

--Connell? What are you doing?

[sound_rune]

I'm practi-

[pauses] ... Oh, um, Tyr! I'm sorry for running off without telling anyone this morning. I must definitely practice and learn how to use this!

There's still food in the refrigerator, so please just heat it up when you're hungry.

[stargathering]

What are you talking about? I'm cooking for all of you. We don't need to live off of leftovers. [ ...Okay, so he has the entire idea of Luc and Connell's duties. ]

Do you know anything about how to use that, though...?

[sound_rune]

[if he wasn't also cursed today, he would be surprised at that. but instead, he just nodded off and then gave an encouraging wave of his hand!] Oh, that would be wonderful then, Tyr!

And... no, not really... But I did observe the soldiers at Dunan practice! I'm trying to recall how they do it...

[and another swing! (he seriously looks like he's playing baseball...)]

[pharles_at_life]

Connell, you need a teacher. [ She is very serious about this, but trying not to sound impolite. ]

[sound_rune]

Ah, Miss Presea! [he brightens, he hasn't seen her in a while] How are you today?

... I think I may, but I didn't want to trouble anyone. Though I'll absolutely do my best to learn!

[pharles_at_life]

I'm doing very well, thank you. [ Oh wait, right. ]

If you're just learning, you should start off properly, or you'll learn bad habits!

[sound_rune]

Ehe, I'm glad to hear that!

[a small pause of consideration] Oh, but... [hmmm, well, it would definitely help him so...!]

Okay, then. I'll try to look for someone who can help!

[soulofocean]

[After getting over the initial shock of seeing Connell -- cute, sweet Connell who she can't possibly associate with weapons of any kind, only to beautiful music -- wielding her blade of choice, Umi spends a good chunk of time just watching his performance.

And winces.]

It's a single-hand sword, that one.

...You need to work on your balance. Um. And you'd want to keep your hold on the hilt a bit lower than right below the crosspiece.

[...One can't help this when one is a fencing dork.]

[sound_rune]

Umi! Good day. [he smiles at her as he turned his head, pausing from practice just to listen to her attentively first] ... Oh, I see! No wonder it felt strange holding it with two hands.

That's right, you're a knight, aren't you, Umi? [a tiny giggle here, he's glad to hear tips from an experienced person] Thank you! I'll keep those in mind.

Hmm... [so he tries it out! now he looks better with that pose.]

[soulofocean]

Hey there! [More informal greetings!] That's okay: some rapiers can be wielded like that for special moves, or for driving the thrust with more force.

Um. This is sort of sudden... What made you want to practice your swordsmanship, Connell?

[sound_rune]

Looks like I'll take some time getting to that point, though. [he openly admits he's really clueless, but that doesn't stop him!]

... [he pauses at her latter question, idly poking the tree in front of him gently] I just thought of it this morning. Wouldn't it be nice if I learned how to protect myself further?

I could only wield rune spells until now... I thought it might be good if I started learning something like this. I wanted to be able to help the others more, too!

There's plenty of times I have to stay behind someone during something crutial...

[notflynn]

Need help?

[sound_rune]

Ah, Yuri! [does he ever? so he instantly brightens up at his offer]

... Could you?

[notflynn]

Sure thing. I make teaching fun.

[sound_rune]

That sounds exciting!

Where should we meet, Yuri? I do hope I'm not taking your time too much!
