  Oh jeez…I’m sorry. That’s really shitty.

Yeah well. It’s all over now.

Is that how you found out about your parent?

  What happened then?

It uh.. killed my boyfriend. Ex-ex boyfriend.

Oh jeez...I'm sorry. That's really shitty.

  {Furrows his brow} Have you ever killed one? A monster, I mean.

-shakes head- I wish, but I didn’t even know about them when they attacked me. And I didn’t know how to fight.

What happened then?

  {Nods} Thank you. That actually did help a lot.

Yup. Now, just keep practicing and you’ll kill ‘em right in the heart.

{Furrows his brow} Have you ever killed one? A monster, I mean.

  {Squints, deciding the range. He tries again, hitting the hip. His face brightens slightly as he turns to her.}

-she looked at him and smiled- See? I told you. 

{Nods} Thank you. That actually did help a lot.

{Nods and retrieves the spear, trying again but missing.} Fuck.

You’l get it just focus.

{Squints, deciding the range. He tries again, hitting the hip. His face brightens slightly as he turns to her.}

  {Pulls back, driving the spear across the right side of the dummy’s neck, taking off a small chunk. He looks to her for feedback}

-laughs- Uh, okay, yeah. Close. but you’re supposed to throw the spear not drive it. But that’s a good technique. Basically when youre in battle, it’s kinda hard to get too close to the enemy to really hit ‘em. Because chances are, they’ll hit you first.

{Nods and retrieves the spear, trying again but missing.} Fuck.

  {Grumbles} So I’ve heard. {Grabs a spear} I might cheer up when I actually achieve something.

-rolls eyes- Okay, now eye the target, pull your arm back and throw. Not too hard. 

{Pulls back, driving the spear across the right side of the dummy's neck, taking off a small chunk. He looks to her for feedback}

  {Furrows his brow and stabs a piece of the dummy with the end of his sword.} I’d probably die first if there was a monster attack. I’m practically hopeless. I’ve been here for a few months now and I still haven’t gotten it. How long did it take you?

-mumbles- Still training actually. The first thing I mastered was spearing, you should try it. You’re like my little sister, small and annoying. Cheer up why don’t cha. 

{Grumbles} So I've heard. {Grabs a spear} I might cheer up when I actually achieve something.

  …I could. But I don’t want to bother them. They’re always busy. {Frowns}

You’re never going to get what you want if you don’t ask.
