[Saying the h-words is just jinxing things with him. He saunters over, obviously amused. A practice sword is being held loosely in one of his hands.]

You look terrible.

I've had better days. *Oh has he ever* But I'll still train you if that's what you want.

With the sword or on human practices?

Edited 2012-07-09 00:43 (UTC)

Either one you want, Hades.

Then I shall choose the sword. I have had enough of emotions for a couple of days.

Sure. *He's tired of feeling things too. So just for a little while, if he can concentrate on something else, he'd be thankful.*

Alright. What should we begin with?

Well, we've gone over basic attack and block. *He taps a finger to his leg, trying to think.* Do you think you could handle anything more advanced?

I think I can. What do you have in mind?

It's good to be able to block and attack. A better skill to have is to disarm. Any fight no matter who it's with is going to tax your strength. If you're in a dangerous situation, it's better to end the fight as soon as possible.

Why just aim to disarm if you can end the fight for good?

I make it a point not to kill everyone I fight with. Disarming is less messy and gives you a chance to both stay alive at the end. However, if your opponent is too stupid to take the gift of life and still tries to end yours, then I would defend myself to the point of killing that person if necessary.

It also gives them the chance to return and kill you in your sleep.

..and some value their honor more than their lives.

Both things are true. Still.

If you're good enough at disarming, then I'll teach you more permanent ways of ending a fight.

...Alright. [He still doesn't quite see the point of it - he aways just killed them if he didn't want to play anymore - but for entertainment's sake, let's go with this.]

Disarming someone is all about trying to figure out where the connection between person and weapon is the weakest. It's not necessarily where the person is hanging onto the weapon either.

It is the point of balance, right? Tip it off scale and everything breaks.

*nods* That's one way. Another is simple distraction. Anything that can get the person to concentrate less on their grip only helps you out.

Distraction is always dangerous. People will expect one to play on that and be prepared.

True. Everything depends on the person and the distraction. You would have to gauge your opponent to see if he or she would be likely to be distracted.

[His expression turns into a little, evil smile.]

Somebody told me that most humans are distracted by the suffering of a child.

That...would be very true. You know us very well so you have all kinds of things to distract people with.

That I do. Yet I lack the perspective.

For example, I doubt that harming a child would distract you much.

Maybe, maybe not. Depends on the kid. Some people will have no reaction and some all the reaction you want.

Sometimes that can be too much.
