[As per the conditions set during their last big argument, Squalo has dutifully informed Xanxus whenever he was going to be away for any extended period of time. This got old quickly, and the swordsman decided that it was beyond stupid and needed to end ( Read more... )

... That's good to know.

Good for you, brat.

I'll find you a gold star sticker; you can wear it on your forehead or something.

[voice] neverplaysfair December 10 2009, 19:28:58 UTC

The sentiment is appreciated, but there's no need.

You're looking for spars, then?

[voice] torrenziale December 10 2009, 20:19:32 UTC

Only if the opponent's worth my time.

[voice] neverplaysfair December 10 2009, 20:32:20 UTC

Selective, are you?

[voice] torrenziale December 10 2009, 21:05:35 UTC

I've no need to deal with shitty little amateurs.

[voice] neverplaysfair December 10 2009, 21:09:54 UTC

I suppose that's reasonable. I take it you're not much of an instructor.

[voice] torrenziale December 10 2009, 23:15:18 UTC

VOOOII, clean out your ears!

What have I said that makes you think I'd want to be an instructor? because training Yamamoto is clearly somehow different

[voice] neverplaysfair December 11 2009, 07:42:46 UTC

Hee hee. Are those my age often decent swordsmen?

[ NEVERMIND THAT HE'S LYING ABOUT HIS AGE :| ]

Don't be stupid! Age has nothing to do with raw talent.

And if you're angling for lessons, find someone else. I'm not interested.

[voice] neverplaysfair December 11 2009, 18:43:05 UTC

But raw talent needs to be honed. That takes instruction.

[voice] torrenziale December 11 2009, 19:31:34 UTC

Tch. Of course it does. I never denied that.

If all you have is raw talent to work with, all you can ever expect be is decent at best. It doesn't matter what kind of instruction you get or how quickly you pick it up. And that's what you asked.

To be exceptional, you need the instinct. Some people have it - most don't. The path of the sword is in their blood, written on their bones and in their muscles. But even then, not all of them choose to follow it and become nothing but mediocre.

[voice] neverplaysfair December 11 2009, 19:44:38 UTC

Sounds difficult. Far too much effort for me.

[voice] torrenziale December 11 2009, 19:54:56 UTC

I'm not surprised.

So what do you do?

[voice] neverplaysfair December 11 2009, 20:00:49 UTC

I watch people.

[voice] torrenziale December 11 2009, 20:06:07 UTC

Well that's just fucking creepy. What's wrong with you, brat?
