I'll keep this brief, I need sparring partners. Martial arts, swords, spears, fire arms, fucking silverware, I don't care. I'm starting to feel rusty and I need to shake it off, preferably now. This isn't a quest but I'm willing to compensate you for your time. Anyone will do my only condition is don't hold back.

Have a nice day.

I don't think I could help you with that no matter how rusty you've gotten.

[She had to spend the first couple of months of her sword lessons to just work up the strength to make more than a few laps of Corrin's house without collapsing in a pile by the end of it.....]

But would it be okay if I were to watch you spar sometime? You already looked really cool when I saw you practicing by yourself in Feoveuer. It's okay to say no if it'd be a bother.

Who spars with silverware?

YESS LETS DO IT

I think it's a little unfair to ask people not to hold back though, we all come from different worlds! I know its your one condition buuuuut I think its important to measure your strength with someone first before making statements like that in a weird place like this

Otherwise Im happy to! I love sparring and I cant just be fighting my friend from home all the time

I'm interested. I prefer firearms, but I do have to ask if you're planning on target practice for that or actual sparring? Are you sure that'll be safe for you?

I may be able to assist? I'm quite good with a sword, and I'd like to keep my own skills sharp, as well. Seems we would both benefit.

[ She would've joked how hurt she was that he didn't ask his own bond partner but, she has to wonder if this was because of the last mission they did together... ]

You know I'm always available but I suspect you'd want to vary it up. I haven't mastered my new form yet, but if I can pull it off again, I'd offer that as well. The only time I'd consider silverware would if be if anyone would be dumb enough to try micromanage me in the kitchen.

I'm happy to help anytime with a good spar, you know. Use any weapon you're comfortable with, I don't care.

[getting_better]

I don't mind if you want to watch. You can watch over Stella too and keep her from getting into trouble.

[ And maybe her presence might just curve his mood, even by just a bit. ]

[getting_better]

A person who's been attacked while eating. It happens.

[ However terrible and incredibly rude. Good thing his reply to such situations is stabbing the assailant in the eye with a spoon. ]

The was the cat. Your face popped up and she leapt and stole my watch. As long as you don't hold back, I don't mind either way. On that note, why didn't you stab that lady with the subpar kitchen utensils if that's the case?

Although she was only trying to micromanage me for being an butthole and a half.

[getting_better]

Its because we come from different worlds that I'm telling people not to hold back. Well, not that it matters really given how this place unceremoniously took those abilities away but I digress.

Also don't you think it's a little rude to imply you'll hold back? I'm no pushover, I know what I'm signing myself up for.

[foundfamilies]

Thank you! I'm looking forward to it. Who is Stella?

[ She's guessing pet unless Mr. Bishop has a child that she didn't know about. ......Or possibly a really rambunctious friend she wouldn't judge. ]

[freecshow]

UMM unless you're the type that likes to get hurt and doesn't think carefully about that kind of thing I don't see how that actually makes any sense!! Even if those special abilities are taken away some people just have different natural strengths

[is Gon projecting? perhaps. probably. but at least he's KIND of aware of it, for once.]

Hehehe yes traditionally I think that's super rude! But this is a whole different climate, isnt it?? I dont think ther'es anything wrong with taking it a little slow and getting to know someone's abilities first

[needsteaplz]

[At least the first message got a laugh out of her. Bless Stella and her ways to keep Bishop on his toes. ]

I figured as much!

As for why I didn't do that, I'm not going to maim someone over a temp job. I mean, really, I have standards on when to use force. If she honestly tried to discredit me, I would've just walked out. The last thing I'd want is to give locals a reason to distrust us Mirrorbound.

Besides, I was thinking of possibly starting my own business so I won't ever have to work in a place like that again.

[whomthebelltolls]

I am always available. And afterward for drinks, as well. [Mostly the drinks afterward. Har har.]

[fairyherder]

That's why you always carry weapons with you, obviously.

[ no matter that it's pretty impressive to be able to use silverware for battle. ]

[exsoldier]

You came to the right place! Swords are my specialty -- how about you?

[getting_better]

Thinking about it, I may have been a bit too hasty to ask for a firefight too. People wouldn't react to gunshots early in the morning, not to mention ammo is a little hard to come by. Though if you have magic, I may have a work around for that.

Re: un: nibelung

[getting_better]

Sounds good to me. Are you available now? I'm ready whenever.

[getting_better]

My definition of weapon is very broad, but I assume you'll be using your giant sword, yeah? I'll use my katana then. Are you available now?

[getting_better]

I like everything in those sentences, and you're timing for drinks couldn't be any better. I finally got my place stocked up with enough spirits to make some cocktails. I just haven't had an excuse to use them just yet.

[halfbloodhatchling]

No magic.

But I can do other weapons.

[getting_better]

I've been thoroughly trained, but I'm most adept with swords, knives, and firearms. Are you available now?

[ He's an assassin, he can - and has - killed someone with a spoon. ]

The kitten that chose me as her source of food and warmth. I think you'll like her. She's still learning some bite inhibition so if you wanna play with her, be careful. Just smoosh her down and knead her for a bit if she bites you too hard.
