001 // Training

[hadronknight]

Who: Mordred [AU1] and You!
Where: Capricorn Ward (Central Park)
When: Whenever possible before the Grand Prix
Format: Commentspam, but I can adapt!
Summary: The Grand Prix is coming up, and who cares if he doesn't have a Persona, he's training for it anyways.


[Ever since that announcement on the COMP, Mordred had been spending quite a bunch of his time in this area, it might not be much, but something to get him moving tends to be enough when it comes to practicing his sword skills, especially considering the fact that he can't just spar with Arturia all the time, that'd just make him go into a routine of anticipating familiar moves rather than unfamiliar ones, which would pose a problem in a real fight.

Which would explain why he's alone, really. And just swinging his Katana around in what seemed to be someone swinging it wildly to passer-by, but what it really was just well.

Let's just say a katana isn't meant to be used in a Medieval Western way to put it as simply as possible.]

Comments

[hadronknight]

Well, the tournament's getting nearer, and I need to practice my stance should I get the chance to purchase a broadsword.

[But yeah, even if his tone is level, you can probably tell how excited he is just from how visible his enthusiasm is within his body language.]

[maybe_a_king]

[Yes, she can tell. It's almost like whenever he finds out a new feudal anime is going to come on and begs her to set the VCR to record for him.]

If you need it, I have no problem letting you use some of what I've saved up.

[E-even if it's for a really nice sword. She has a chainsword and it's for her uncle! She's willing to give up the money so he can get one, too.]

[hadronknight]

Don't worry about me too much, it's your own money after all.

[And he has always left those alone even when they're on their broke moments at times.]

[maybe_a_king]

[Even insisted on paying her back when he could whenever she went out of pocket without groceries.]

I know, but it's not like I can't get another job to help and if you're in the ring you'll need it more than I or....

[She holds up the chainsword.] You could use this? We're close enough in build that it being weighted for me shouldn't be too much of an issue.

[hadronknight]

...I admit I am curious about it ever since I saw Ser Garviel wielding it. [your olde englishe is showing a bit mordred...]

...

If you are willing to part for it for but a moment, then I shall use it if I couldn't find an alternative.

[maybe_a_king]

I would not offer if I wasn't willing. [She tries to keep from smirking about the ye olde English. Everyone tends to comment on her speaking very formally so it's amusing when Mordred slips into it.]

[hadronknight]

Then I thank you, Arturia-

[...It took him but a moment to realize he's been speaking like how he used to speak a long time ago.

BOY he feels like an old man.]

[maybe_a_king]

[She actually snickers at him because of him realizing just how formal he sounds.]

I was wondering when you would notice, 'Sir' Mordred.

[hadronknight]

Stop calling me 'Sir.'

[He's not worthy of that title anymore anyways.]

It makes me feel old, you know?

[maybe_a_king]

You never mind your students calling you that.

[hadronknight]

Ah, that's because they just won't stop.

[ and doesn't know the meaning of the word too. ]

Maybe I should up my training menu then.

[ well let's just say that'd be a disaster. ]
