35th feather

Hmm... no, that doesn't seem right. But then... It's more comfortable this way.

[For anyone who may be watching, the angel boy has taken up training himself with two short swords in a corner of the courtyard, one in each hand. He's holding the sword in his left in a reverse grip, and though he looks rather awkward with them, there is unmistakable determination in his face as he tries to get used to the weapons]

[ooc: feel free to come up and bug him/tell him he's doing it wrong LOL]

[exiting the stables while leading Epona and sees Pit training by himself. The horse and rider exchange looks before wandering closer to watch and see how he handles this. Epona whinnies at Pit out of amusement; like when Talo would try and mimic Link's sword training...

Meanwhile, Link just watches quietly]

[Pit makes a few more experimental swings, his wings tilted at a comical angle to keep balanced as he makes a haphazard swipe. Once he recovers his stance, Pit makes a face, then glances over to Link and Epona, smiling sheepishly]

[nodding at Epona, Link walks over to Pit with a small smile]

Practicing on your own?

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

Mhm! I've been meaning to try these for a while now. I have to say, it's much different from my other weapons!

[wolf-prince.livejournal.com]

I can't say that I've seen that style used before. Sword and shield, that's what most people used in Hyrule.

... You tend to use hammers and bows, correct?

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

I remember seeing some of the higher-ups doing it back home. There was a reason for holding it like this... hm. [he touches the pommels of the swords together, trying to remember what the motion was for...]

That's right, though I use bows as often as I can.

[...a Thanagarian? John watches closely, but after a while, he decides not. then he starts looking at what Pit's doing and... raises an eyebrow]

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

[after a couple more awkward slices, he lowers his weapons and looks towards the stranger]

...Is something the matter, sir?

[lanterning.livejournal.com]

[more eyebrow raising at the 'sir' but he ignores it, and nods towards the swords.]

What exactly are you trying to do, if you don't mind me asking.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

Not at all, sir, I'm experimenting. I haven't had much experience with swords, and so I am trying to get comfortable with these.

[lanterning.livejournal.com]

You're trying to get comfortable with both of them, at the same time?

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

I find I don't have the same control when I am using only one, so instead I have two.

[WAS LETTING HIM LEARN IT HIS OWN WAY]

[is a creative and special snowflake :D :D :D]

[cruxified]

[You're tainting my courtyard with your horrible stance. But I do appreciate your enthusiasm. God, why are all the kids these days RETARDED with weapons?

Anyway, say hello to teacher. Again. He looks... intimidating. As usual.]

Your stance is poor.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

[Aaaahh, teacher! Don't startle kids like that, darn it.]

Ah--!! Sir Kratos!

[he straightens up, though his weapons are still held at awkward angles]

[cruxified]

[Sorry, becoming an angel took away my ability to show expression B|]

... That is still incorrect.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

[Your kind of angels are scary, teach. :,(]

I-I--

I have never used these before. [nonetheless, he's trying to correct himself, however poorly]

[cruxified]

That much is obvious. [Ouch.] If you allow me, I can correct your pose.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

Ah- [winces inwardly at that.] I would appreciate that very much, sir!

[and have someone who has absolutely no idea what swordplay is outside of movies watching you, Pit. although she is a bit amused moreso by your tiny little wings more than anything, thinking you're like, a cute little boy model for Angel Soft or something~ ffffff]

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

[lolwut XD

notices her watching and stops for a moment, looking back curiously?]

[thefierceness.livejournal.com]

[wouldn't Pit be the perfect model for it? lol >D

Amanda raises an eyebrow curiously once she finds out that she was, well... found out. Oh, she caught his attention, how nice. She refrains from waving, howveer, but does indeed grace him with her nicest voice.]

You're cute.

[dafiteison.livejournal.com]

[he blushes a little, caught off-guard by her compliment; strangely enough, he's not used to being called cute around here XD]

Ah... thank you, Miss!

[thefierceness.livejournal.com]

[she smiles widely, denoting a 'you're welcome' on her part. leaning against a tree, folding her arms, Amanda resists the urge to ask whether or not she can dress him like a doll and give him makeup >D]

Aren't you afraid you'll cut yourself with those swords?
