ohhhh awesome~

[ Condesce would eventually get to the ewer, they have plenty of time and she isn’t planning on letting him go that soon. Not before she can play around for a little, like a happy shark with her new toy.

However, she allows him some room. Enough for him to pay attention to his own weapon form because it was his first time with a Meister and one thing is certain – he would know better how he feels in his Weapon form than she does. If Dualscar felt something slightly off or that it might be interesting, he would (or should) eventually mention it (after she is done with the current task, preferably. Condesce IS busy with the chakram, after all).

Tough she does feel some change in the energy flow, she doesn’t pay attention to it. The sea dweller has only managed to resonate with one person before and he is a sword, nothing like Dualscar. Small nuances would be learned with time and use.

Her grip loosens eventually, aiming towards a nearby tree; she is violent with her movements, a hiss-like sound almost escaping Condesce's lips, but she is far more controlled than expected – she doesn’t want to get hit by an uncontrolled chakram, after all. Her other hand moves to the chain too, but mostly as prevention in case she had to tug the chain quickly to change its direction. ]

[ It would be brought up, but at a later time. If she wanted to enjoy playing with sharp toys, who was he to stop her?

He does take the time to himself while she gets used to the weight of the chain and chakram to settle and familiarize himself with the feeling of such a prying exchange. A great deal of himself was laid open before the Empress, and while his loyalty saw that he was more than comfortable with letting her have access to his inner machinations, he had next to nothing to hide from her. With others, this could be a problem if he rushed things. But he did promise to get results for Condesce, so he'll work with what he has.

For now, he'd settle. Where before he'd conducted multiple trains of thought while still keeping his attention on her movements, the restlessness was dispersing to quieter focus.

The chakram itself was easily sharp enough to get lodged in the tree's trunk, but the chain would catch the trunk instead and loop around it. The good part was that it wrapped around the trunk a couple of times. The bad part was that it wasn't enough to keep it around the trunk. So while it wouldn't come back to slice something off, it would unravel and glide down to the ground if she didn't try to start swinging it again.

As it were, the chain felt malleable, something he noticed when she was testing it initially. There was potential--give--as if it were rubber. Not absolute like the ewer and chakram. ]

If you divert or pull energy to and from the chain, you should be able to extend the ewer or chakram's reach, or recall it with minimal risk of injury.

You should also be able to alter the chain's length while it's en route to make last second adjustments, but that's the extent of it. I don't feel the same sense of elasticity with the chakram.

[ Condesce watches as her first try with the chakram goes; it was like a boomerang, probably the only similarity this weapon form had with Winter's blade. The chain attached to it isn't enough to unbalance it it seems - well, the weapon IS a living being, so things like this don't need to obey certain rules of physics and she is more than fine with that.

She hears Dualscar's words, but she makes no action to show him she acknowledged it. Instead, she tugs at the chain but first - ]

Can ya control the extent of it, guppy? [ because when she throws the chakram, as much she is capable of controlling it with the energy flow, she will never have full control on the thing, will she? Meisters and Weapons work together. not that she'd ever admit to that.

Still, enough with the chakram. She pulls it to bring it closer, but her attention has already diverged to the ewer. ]

[violet_mariner]

[ It was a mix of kinetic energy and practice. ]

Yes. As it stands Your Majesty, I have no desire to manipulate the flow of energy.

I do, however, request the freedom to do as I will and test a few things.

[ She can have as much control as she wants. Dualscar fully understands he's her tool, and while he will react accordingly in battle, it would be to satisfy her wishes and keep her from harm. He'll take the tug and question as a cue to retract the chain and draw in the chakram, though. It was as easy as drawing in an outstretched arm.

If the situation were more dire, he would be willing to take liberties in order to protect the Empress, but otherwise, he had no doubt that he was in capable hands. Since it's merely putting himself through his paces and practicing, he sees no reason why he can't wait until she's finished.

The ewer's just as light as the chakram in her hands and easily wielded, despite being perfectly capable of acting like a lead weight. Empty, but sturdy. Dualscar would wait, still, and let her use the weapon as-is: a blunt object designed for massive devastation, unlike the chakram's precision mutilation. ]

[bowdown]

Watervs. To actshoally figure shit out, you gotta go to missions, homie.

[ because this shit they call "training" isn't even as close as to the actual thing. That's why training is useless, she thinks. Techniques come from battling and if you want something done, stick your neck out and if you are good, you'll survive - if you aren't good, you shouldn't be alive, anyway. That's what trolls learn from the moment they come to the world.

When the chakram returns, Condesce's hand quickly moves to grab it, though careful enough not to get cut in the process. And then, she finally is able to give the ewer full attention. The troll grabs it, analyzing its weight and the shape, and the feeling of the resonation as she grabbed that part of the Weapon.

He said he could control it, but has no desire to manipulate the flow of energy. So what Condesce does is to attempt to do it herself, towards the amphora. ]
