[wordsgate]

[Oh. Right. The post the other day.] ...I see your point.

[wordsgate]

Weapon. My other form is a bow.

[suchselfishness]

Fancy that. I'm a Weapon, too. Some kind of polearm.

[scatterflower]

No. It's nothing to worry about. Don't worry about it.

I REGRET NOTHING.

[healinghime]

[Don't mind her, she'll remain forever oblivious.]

Yeah! I thought so too!

[She gives him a thumbs up.]
Are you ready to see if we can have pleasant feelings from this and test out your abilities?

[tuned_wrong]

Better! [He grins and blocks the counter blow. Once again his tail is coming for his twin, though at a manageable speed.]

[poisonwords]

Good. That makes a whole two of us. Most didn't like me calling out on them.

[get_the_win]

[Strangely, after his attack connects Domon gets sloppy, leaving himself wide open. If Steve is paying attention to Domon's expression, the cocky grin has been replaced with a look of surprise and confusion.]

[flamberge]

[Kratos gives him a flat look. The purpose of training dummies is for training, but somehow arguing the point feels as though it'd be a futile effort.]

Given the fact you're capable of movement and speech, your strength already far surpasses that of something which cannot even do as much.

[flamberge]

[Good good. Knowing Mithos, he'd think carefully before selecting a partner. Of course, Kratos would make certain whoever this individual might be is fitting for someone like Mithos. After all, part of the teacher's job is to protect their student from unsavory characters.

At the question, he thinks for a moment before shaking his head. This should do for now,]

No, this should sufficiently cover the basics. Do you have any questions about something either I didn't cover or failed to expand upon properly?

[wordsgate]

[Oh Sasame certainly doesn't mind. Obliviousness is fun, too. Of course, if Orihime keeps talking like that he's going to burst out laughing.]

I'm always ready to attempt to get a pleasant feeling, yes!

[rebelwithaclock]

Well, I'd, er...apologize profusely and quickly get you to one of the medics.

[wordsgate]

Hmmm~ [A bit amused--and maybe hypocritical.] That sounds like a good weapon to keep people at arm's length.

[wordsgate]

[Sasame's not entirely convinced by that, but he tries not to be too nosy, so...] All right. Then...I won't worry about it. [Much.]

[rebelwithaclock]

Agh-! [He jumps up to avoid the tail and then, because of an instinctual need to stop that tail, raises a foot and...attempts to stomp down on the tail, right where the rest of the tail connects with the blade.]

[wordsgate]

Well, some of that might have to do with how you phrased it?

[flamberge]

[What Hades really thinks doesn't matter. Kratos is in full teacher mode and ready to educate no matter what. Besides, no one could be as horrible to train as Lloyd.]

Then we'll begin the lesson with a focus on improving upon those areas in which you're lacking. Weaknesses like you've shown can easily be exploited by a more experienced opponent and ridding oneself of them can mean the difference between life and death in battle.

[kill_some_time]

[He frowns.]

I prefer to do it in the way of aikido. Facing and forcing things directly is ...not me. [It's hard to explain, his dislike against doing things that way. Especially since he cannot pinpoint why he feels the way he does, is it because of his own preference or because the sheer gamut of associations of mortals had bled into his character over time? It is one of the questions he usually evades himself from asking.]

[healinghime]

[She probably will--though she may realize her words sooner or later..]

I think a lot of people do. I certainly hope nothing bad happens though when we resonate..I don't want to hurt you.

[anationisnothing]

[Steve sees that opening. His gut still stings a little, but he surges forward to grapple with Domon, using the opening to get a hold of him.]

[wordsgate]

Well...I'm new to this, so I might be wrong, but I don't think that's too likely. I have a good feeling.

[healinghime]

Oh good! I'm glad you have a good feeling about this!

[She holds out her hand.]

Ready Sasame-san?

In my restless dreams, I see that icon

[princelyspirit]

Right!

[Gets in position, aims her fist, and punches straight for the center with all of her force - still keeping her punch compact as possible. Whappo!]

[snatching]

You'll owe me!

[princelyspirit]

I don't blame you - I just hope that nobody was hurt too badly from it
