[ it wouldn't at all! smiles, ]

Just makes it feel a little more familiar. [ hmm... ] If there's time, I'll ask him? If nothin' else, maybe I'll join a naginata class at home or something.

I wanted to ask him to show me more this week, too.

That's another kind of spear, I take it?

We can take a class together.

[ there's something a little amusing about that thought. ]

Kinda, yeah. It's more like a sword or knife on a pole than a spear - only one cutting edge, not for stabbing.

He already showed me the basics and I tried looking into it more on my own... but some of it's just hard to understand without someone to show you.

[ huffs. ]

That... doesn't sound easy to use.

Were you just learning by yourself? Havin' a sparring partner is kinda helpful, right?

[ not that he would work for that if he's months behind, but still. ]

They're cool, though, and I know there's classes for it. Or maybe archery?

By myself, yeah. Eupha asked me to show her what I did know, but it's not the same as sparring. And Saber started teaching me right after Zhongli was killed, so I was sparring with them instead.

[ cannot begin to explain how many times he got his ass handed to him ]

Why archery?

With Saber-san... [ yikes. at least zhongli seem like the type to show some restraint.

shrugs!! ]

They're the ones we have school clubs for that I can remember.

They still went easy on me, but...

[ they can truly beat him with their eyes closed and hands behind their back. ]

Clubs...?

Trial by fire, sounds like.

[ nods............ just like your maid outfit adventure (no) ]

Yeah, activities for before or after classes. Sports and martial arts are common.

Hah... Kind of. But it's good, I guess? If someone came for me on Thursday, they wouldn't be holding back, either.

[ doesn't matter anymore though thankfully. murder is over. also i forgot it was a school club but listen he is still very confused about that whole thing, ]

Oh. Guess that makes sense. [ tilts head. ] Are there ones for running, too?

[ that reminder just makes his grip on laurence's had tighten, a flicker of panic lashing at the otherwise pleasant emotions. murder is over, but it's still not nice to think about. ]

Guess so. Glad it never came to that, though.

[ hums and tries to shake that off. egh. ]

Sure are. Running and other kinds of track, too. You'd be some star athlete.

[ shoots him a concerned look? ]

So am I. We don't have to worry about things like that anymore.

[ not here, anyway. home is a different story but we don't have to bring that up right now. ]

Star athlete. Yeah, right. [ shakes his head. ] I wouldn't mind giving other tracks a shot, though. Usually we just do running or skating.

[ gives him an apologetic one back. he's still kind of agitated even with everyone returned. ]

...yeah. Think Zhongli is still more appealing as a teacher, though.

[ let's not bring that up because he's going to worry constantly about him anyway. ]

I'm not too familiar with 'em, honestly. Sports were never my thing. [ training doesn't count. ] Skating? Rollerskating?

He's a lot gentler, that's for sure.

[ they're both pretty patient with him but oof. ]

Might've helped you with your astronaut thing if they were. [ he's just teasing but anyway. technically it's rollerblading but he nods anyway. ] Rollerskating, yeah. We do some of our races that way, too. It's fun.

No surprise there. Seems like it'd suit him, that kind of coaching.

[ learning from peepaw... sounds really nice. ]

Hey, being active and playin' sports are different things. [ where the border of jock and nerd intersect..... there he is. ] That's really cool. I know how to skate, but not very well.

It does, yeah. When he's not just lecturing on something or other.

Sure, but it's worth it, you know? [ okay, jock. ] What's so hard about it? All you have to do is not fall on your face.
