Comments

[weaponry]

You didn't? Just what type of world did you come from? [ She's betting it's a world where everything is sunshine and rainbows. She has no tolerance for those worlds! This is war!!!!!!!!! ]

[glassworkgenius]

We haven't had any wars in a long time! [And even then kids wouldn't be the soldiers would they?--Well, except for the alleged alien invasion ten years ago but DETAILS]

[weaponry]

A world with no wars? [ I am 17 and what is this foreign concept to Tenten?!

Aliens and a world with no wars. Taiyou's world is weird. ]

[glassworkgenius]

[And those are his feelings, but on the flipside...!

Don't even get started on the disturbing tendency of car accidents and how hardcore their sports are--]

Mm. If there were I don't know how many people are taught to fight from when they've just become teenagers...

[He shakes his head.]

I know it's disappointing I don't have prior experience, but--! Please teach me!

[weaponry]

[ Tenten would be more marveled over the car before she realizes about the car accidents, but she'd be weirded out by the soccer obsession. ]

Tch. I was a ninja and fighting when I was your age! It's not disappointing, I mean, I can't fault for it. [ But, the kid asking her to teach him was something she definitely wanted to do. ] But that doesn't mean we can't start now. Now, relax your grip a bit. If you hold it too hard, it'll become more tense and less wieldy in your hands.

[glassworkgenius]

[Upon her instruction Taiyou nods and loosens his hold on the rod. He adjusts his stance and does a little demo strike at the air.]

You're right, this feels better.

[weaponry]

Yeah. You never want to grip something too hard. Being fluid is one of the best advantages you can have with a staff compared to a sword. Now, have you tried your dexterity with flipping the sword?

[glassworkgenius]

Well... no I haven't. [That sounds kind of dangerous...! And while what he's thinking is clear enough on his face he keeps the words to himself.]

[weaponry]

Well, it's a lot different from flipping a staff. Why don't you try flipping a staff now with your relaxed grip work and feel the difference. [ She's behind him, in case he accidentally hits himself in the eye. She's been there. ): ]

[glassworkgenius]

[Her assumption is right, because with a flick of his wrist that rod hits him square on the forehead!!! He fell back a little, but not very far. And now he's rubbing that sore spot.]

Ow...

[weaponry]

Relaxed doesn't mean careless! [ She aggressively wags her finger at him. Behold the shame that comes with the fingerwag! ] You need to relax your grip, but keep it firm enough that you can stop it if it's knocked in a different direction.

[glassworkgenius]

[So much shame! But he's not giving up, ever. That would be much more shameful!] Alright...! Let's try again!

[Up the rod goes! And he grabs it--But not without bending his knees and crouching, so that's still not quite right. Another attempt! And a third! Small signs of progress: his reaction time is improving.]

[weaponry]

You're doing great! The improvements are definitely showing! [ Tenten takes a staff and stands right in front of him. She briefly demonstrates the flip and doesn't blink when it comes within centimeters of her forehead. ] Just keep your knees straight, and you'll get it.
