That's right. It can also be a weight to help wrap around something.

[She falls silent as he practices, trying not to think about any possible elemental connections those colors in the whip may have.]

I don't think anyone would. I know I wouldn't.

[nofarplaneyet]

So you'd use it to wrap around someone's arm or leg and yank them off their feet? *Can't really try that with anyone, but he's beginning to see more practical applications of the Weapon the longer he uses it.*

[ninjainviolet]

Exactly! Any of the practice dummies free? You can try it there.

[With a normal whip, you can also wrap around a weapon--like a sword--but she'd rather not try that one, thanks. The chance of being injured is too high. She's also unsure about wrapping around someone's neck; it's a great way to subdue a person, but it's a horrible way to die.]

[nofarplaneyet]

So let's see here...

*Auron gives a crack of the Weapon to a practice dummy...and totally misses.*

Think my aim was off.

[ninjainviolet]

Hmmm.... Have you ever thrown anything at anyone? Like daggers?

[nofarplaneyet]

I'm not much of a throwing weapon kind of guy. *So he swings...and another miss.*

[ninjainviolet]

I can tell. [No humor; just an observation.]

Okay. Try this: Try pointing your hand at the dummy, and just flick the whip towards that point. Don't try to crack it.

[nofarplaneyet]

*Because this is exactly what you wouldn't do with a sword, it takes Auron a number of tries before he's marginally successful.*

Hunh. You're probably going to need someone better than I am to wield you properly.

[ninjainviolet]

[She knows this, but she has faith in him and isn't disappointed.]

Auron, you're doing fine. Were you able to use a sword properly the first day you picked it up?

[However, he may sense her thinking about what he mentioned earlier about wrapping about the enemy--especially if what she's guessed about having elemental properties was true.]

[nofarplaneyet]

Not a chance.

*This time he gets a fairly good throw and hold around an arm.*

Nice of it to stand there while I practice.

[ninjainviolet]

That's what I thought.

[She doesn't say any more as she's wrapped around the arm, but there's a sense of wry agreement there--along with a quiet thought that maybe she can be of use after all.]

It stands there when you hit it with a sword or punch it, too.

[Yep, she understands that.]
