[recitings]

[Genesis isn't really trying to hide that he snuck out of the clinic. Nope. Not at all. He still doesn't look like he's in his best form, there are bandages under his clothes, but he's still a very capable instructor.]

[morecowbell]

[Nanami already has specific weapons she is used to handling, she isn't here for that. Instead she had heard that one of the instructors was a very experienced Weapon. She's kind of been stalking Genesis him for a little while now trying to figure out how to approach him in a way that looks natural.

She's kind of just absently browsing the weapon selection.]

[recitings]

[Upon seeing someone browsing the weapons selection, he automatically draws closer.]

May I help you?

[morecowbell]

[She's just lifted a talwar a little ways out of the bin when he speaks causing her to drop it immediately]

Oh uh... You're Mr. Rhapsodos, right? [Now or never, but better make sure it's the right person at least]

[recitings]

Yes, I am. Is there something you wish to speak with me about? Hopefully not about taking me back to the clinic.

[morecowbell]

Huh? Oh... as an instructor, I'm sure you know your limits, it's really none of my business whether or not you should be in the clinic. Hopefully you're not the type to overdo it and make others worry.

[That might have come out a little bluntly...]

[recitings]

[At that blunt statement, Genesis couldn't help but laugh, although his injury had stifled what could have been a full-bodied kind of laughter.]

That's no problem. It's not my business to make others worried. I can take care of myself well enough.

Anyway, so what are you here for?

[morecowbell]

Oh, uh... [why was it so hard to ask for help? Just do it dang it.]

I have this friend... okay.. no, it's me. I.. I just need to know if there's more I can do to contribute to a partnership as a Weapon.

[recitings]

[Genesis cracks a little smile at that. It almost sounds as if it was a question meant for Cupid's radio show.]

Well, it mainly depends on what your Meister can do and what you yourself can do as a person. For example, for the longest time, I had to help guide my Meister's movements when he handled me as he had little combat training. But at the same time, I also had to support him whenever he needed to use his Meister ability at its fullest.

It's all a matter of supplementing your partner's weaknesses and magnifying their strengths. That's how I see the role of a Weapon. You might not be able to be the one controlling the battle, but you can turn the tide if you know how to help your partner.

[everyonesconfidant]

[Here's someone that looks like they might be knowledgeable on the subject of combat. Hiro comes up to Genesis and asks:]

Excuse me, are you one of the instructors?

[recitings]

Yes, I am. How may I help you?

[everyonesconfidant]

[That question is a bit of a doozy when you're not sure where to begin.]

I need to learn how to fight. I never used any real weapons at home, so I'm a little behind everyone else.

[recitings]

Well. You've come to the right place. The combat instructors can tell you how to manage a fight, but the first step is all about handling your weapon of choice. Did you have something in mind? Or would you like me to recommend something for you?

[everyonesconfidant]

Could you please recommend something for me? I haven't really decided what weapon I want to use yet. I kind of want something that's not completely lethal in case something like the riots happens again.

[recitings]

Alright. You're in luck, then. Another young man such as you came up to me with the same request.

[He brings out three wooden weapons: a baton, a tonfa, and a hanbo. The same things he showed Bakura earlier.]

All three of them aren't lethal, unless you want them to be. That's where weapons handling training comes in.

[everyonesconfidant]

Hmm...

[Hiro studies the weapons for a good minute or so, waffling over which one to start with.]

Maybe I'll try... this one. Can you tell me a bit about it?

[He chooses the hanbo.]

[recitings]

Alright. The hanbo. Basically, it's a half-staff, but you can also use it as you would a sword. So, you get the best of both worlds from it: the defense of a staff, and the offensive power of a sword. But because it's made of wood, it can't deliver a lethal blow. The worst you can do is cause a concussion or cause a little spine injury.

[brainius]

[ Here you go, Genesis, have Ghoulia walking riiiiiiiiiiight up to you. She's already particularly hard to read, what with the whole zombie-facial-expressions not quite amounting to more than an occasional slack-jawed stare, but her jaw is set firmly and she's even gone so far as to arch an eyebrow at him as she approaches. ]

[ Of course, she understands that some individuals recover better under different circumstances, but she also understands that open wounds often do not take well to moving around, and given that he's here at the very physical morning training...? ]

[ She can't resist a comment with certain implications. ]

It would seem I am to anticipate an extension of my present work in your stead.

[recitings]

[Zombie expressions are definitely odd, but Genesis does get that feeling that Ghoulia is not all that happy to see him escaped from the clinic.]

No, I don't think so. I feel very fine.

[Have a charming grin for your trouble, dear.]

[brainius]

[ Have a continued stare to meet that charming grin. ]

And if you were to be punched, kicked, or otherwise physically struck by anything, for any reason? [ A pause. ] Or if you were to fall down?

[recitings]

Oh, I doubt anything of that sort will happen to me. And even if I'm struck by anyone here, I don't think it'll be enough to aggravate my injury.

[He's bluffing a little, but he does have a bit of a point. He doesn't show it as a weapon, but he has a great deal of combat experience to back him up.]

It's most likely that I'll stop anyone before they get to even touch me.

[brainius]

[ ...she sighs. She actually sighs. You win, Genesis. ]

Still, you are meant to be resting. Promise me that you will at least return, following this morning's training?

[recitings]

Hm. Would returning to my own bed at home be sufficient?

[brainius]

It would be, yes. [ A nod. ] So long as you are resting and recovering.

Icon keyword is relevant.

[recitings]

Good. Then we have a deal.
