Hey, you there. Mark, right?|
\s[-2]

\w[16]
\f[5|Mark]
\s[5]
Yeah. Can I help you with something?|

\s[2]
Maybe. You seem pretty good with\n
that sword of yours. You up for\n
a friendly duel?|

\s[5]
I'm not interested in wasting my\n
time with things like that, sorry.|

\s[2]
Fair enough, no worries. You don't mind\n
if I observe your swordsmanship, right?|

\s[5]
Just as long as you stay out of\n
my way, I don't care what you do.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
You won't even notice I'm there, trust me.|

\s[5]
Any reason you chose to watch me\n
as opposed to other sword wielders?|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Well... I've already observed the\n
kid, and he could use some work.|\n
Figured I should see what I could learn\n
so I'd have more to show him later on.|

\s[5]
The kid...? Oh, Dorin.|

\s[2]
Yeah. As much I hate to admit it,\n
he's the only reason I'm still\n
alive. So, I kind of owe him.|

\s[5]
I see... I'll do my best to\n
assist you in that endeavor then.|

Mark, there you are.|
\s[-2]

\w[16]

\r[5]\w[4]\s[5]
Ah, Renoart. Did you\n
get what you wanted?|

\s[2]
I did, actually. A lot of interesting\n
information. I do wish we could spar\n
so I could confirm my observations but--|

\s[5]
Then let's spar. I have some time now.|

\s[2]
Huh? But, you said earlier you\n
didn't want to waste your time.|

\s[5]
That was before I looked into you.\n
You never told me you were an Avilnite.|

\s[2]
You didn't ask. ... Wait, are you angry\n
with me because of my background? I\n
didn't start this war, that was the--|

\s[5]\e[5|2]
No, no; I'm now interested because learning\n
how swordsmen of Avilion are trained. It will\n
make it easier to tackle them in combat.|

\s[2]
... Hard to tell, your face is a bit... angry.|

\s[5]
It's always like this.|

\s[2]
No, it most certainly is not. But, I'll oblige.\n
Just... don't run me through with the waster.|

\s[5]
A waster? I see little point in using wooden\n
blades. It'd be better to use regular iron.|

\s[2]
... Are you sure this isn't some\n
kind of plot to murder me, Mark?|

\s[5]
I swear it on my life. Unless you're\n
unable to keep up with me, that is.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Heh. Fine. I almost died a few times before,\n
what's yet another chance to taunt death?|

\s[2]
Whew! I'm starting to enjoy these\n
morning sparring sessions. Wakes me up.|

\s[5]
Glad to hear my training regiment works for you.|

\s[2]
You know, I've been meaning to ask something.\n
Before, I was sceptical, because I hadn't\n
experienced your swordsmanship first-hand...|\n
But after that crazy first match we had, I\n
can tell for certain. You're a Kamelothian.|

\s[5]
It's not something I was trying to hide.\n
But yes, I was raised in Kameloth. I moved\n
to Merovin when my father remarried.|

\s[2]
Interesting... I guess that makes sense,\n
your style of bladework is a bit different.|\n
It's not exactly Kameloth's Heavy-Blade\n
style, but it's certainly not Merovin's\n
Flashing-Blade style. It's sort of a hybrid.|

\s[5]
I learned the basics from my instructor\n
in Kameloth and perfected my skills in\n
Merovin from observing my lord's soldiers.|

\s[2]
Impressive, being able to learn the styles\n
from just watching them in actions. Does\n
that mean you'll learn my style next?|

\s[5]
Perhaps. Avilion's Dancing-Blade style\n
has always intrigued me, but I feel as\n
if it focuses too much on speed.|\n
What good is that much movement when the\n
hits themselves do little to no damage?|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
You're saying my sword strikes don't\n
faze you? I'm a little insulted, Mark.|

\s[5]
I didn't say that. But, some of your...\n
former comrades do little to impede me.|

\s[2]
Fair enough. True masters of each style\n
are able to use it to the full potential.|\n
Anyone else is just going through the\n
motions. It takes years to master them.|

\s[5]
You speak of them as if you've trained\n
others in the art in the past. I thought\n
you were just a mercenary for hire.|

\s[2]\e[2|0]
Believe it or not, I was an instructor.\n
It's always been my passion to teach and\n
inspire the newer generations to get better.|\n
It's likely how I managed to let Dorin\n
convince me to join your army, truthfully.|

\s[5]
Ah, a teacher at heart. You are truly\n
a man with many blades in his scabbard.|

\s[2]\e[2|1]
Heh, I like to be well rounded. Anyway,\n
you up for another match later today?|

\s[5]
Certainly. And, if you had any notes on my\n
Heavy-Blade style, feel free to let me know.|

\s[2]
Will do!|

We'll need to make it through this\n
battle alive first, Renoart.|

\s[2]
Like that'll be an issue for either of\n
us. Don't sell yourself so short, Mark.|

\s[5]\e[5|1]
I was talking about you.|

Oh ho! Saying something like that before dashing\n
off. I didn't know you had it in you, Mark.|
