Who: Emil, Hakuba, whoever
Where: By the Orion dorms
When: Day 165, afternoon
What: Attempting to teach teammate self-defense

[there are two blanks in blinding Orion yellow, one holding on to a wooden staff, and the other correcting the first's grip]

No, um, more like this. That should help. . . Um, unless it's too heavy for you! It's not too heavy, is it?

[though, it sounds like the second one doesn't really sound like he has much confidence in the subject. shouldn't a teacher know what they're doing?]

	When it comes naturally. . . it's hard to put into words. I don't really think about it either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 01:36 am UTC (link)
	[ nods again ] It's difficult to explain. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 01:42 am UTC (link)
	It'd be easier to just demonstrate, but. . . I don't know if he can follow and understand like that. Not that trying with words is working that well, either. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[headtilt] Um, you want to try? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 01:47 am UTC (link)
	I could probably defend . . . and you could show him how to attack . . .? Would that even help? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 01:50 am UTC (link)
	I don't know. . . he doesn't even really want to learn, but I managed to convince him he should at least know how to defend, if someone ever does attack him in a game. But if he doesn't mind . . . maybe? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	[ nods ] If I can help, I will. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	Thanks. I'll ask if he'd prefer that. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 01:54 am UTC (link)
	. . . and you are doing a good job. I think it must be hard to learn . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:03 am UTC (link)
	[nods] Yeah. I actually remember Richter trying to teach me before I knew how but. . . when I learned, it wasn't anything to do with lessons. I just. . . knew, when I didn't before. Learning normally seems a lot harder. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:05 am UTC (link)
	Oh. [ looks down at her hand. ] It must have been hard at some time. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:08 am UTC (link)
	. . . actually, I think Hakuba's doing a lot better than I was when I had Richter trying to teach me. I just kind of . . . um, cowered behind my sword. I was really awful at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:09 am UTC (link)
	You're not very scary. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:14 am UTC (link)
	[laughs, a little] I hope not. Though it was less because of Richter that I was scared, and more the monsters. . . They were small and pretty harmless though, but I was still really scared. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:16 am UTC (link)
	Monsters . . . [ pause for thinking. ] I think that would be scary even if they were small . . . because it's new and you were still learning? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
