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?]

	. . . If I could help you. [ thinking. ] (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)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 01:53 am UTC (link)
	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)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:18 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. At least I'm not trying to teach Hakuba by taking him into battle and expecting him to follow instructions like that. . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:21 am UTC (link)
	[ watches Hakuba again ] . . . I think he'd hurt himself. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:24 am UTC (link)
	Probably. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:25 am UTC (link)
	Do you think he'd be any good at throwing something . . .? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:31 am UTC (link)
	Maybe? I can't use projectiles, so you could probably tell better than I could, you know what to look for more. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:35 am UTC (link)
	I don't know . . . a lot about how it works. I have to think about it backwards to understand it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:39 am UTC (link)
	[nods] Maybe we could check how good his aim is. Just throwing rocks to test might work. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:41 am UTC (link)
	Maybe he'll be a natural at something . . . [ . . . doubtful . . . . ] (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:43 am UTC (link)
	(I. . . can't really see it.) Maybe . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:44 am UTC (link)
	. . . everyone's good at something . . . (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	forgotmynuts 2010-09-04 02:56 am UTC (link)
	Yeah. And he really only needs to get good enough to defend himself long enough for one of the rest of us to show up to help, he doesn't really need to get great at it. (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)

	ambidexterity 2010-09-04 02:58 am UTC (link)
	What about . . . [ thinks ] um, the materia? Could we get him one of those? (Reply to this) (Parent) (Thread)
