I won't argue this. There are some who are unfairly talented at certain things.

[slashay]

Yeah... My old master was like that. [Willingly talking about Okita Souji??? Sometimes a peanut does grow.] He was a prodigy - got his certificate of mastery of his school of swordsmanship before he was eighteen and everything. People like that don't always get how hard it is for the guys who aren't talented, though.

[Said with a sigh...]

[disingenuous]

[ she doesn't know he had an aversion to talking about souji. good for you, peanut. ]

It's hard to understand something you've never known. Prodigies are often lonely because of that.

[slashay]

[He's doing the best any sword can do without a therapist.]

...Yeah. [Though he knows Souji was lonely for other reasons, not least of which was being a wholeass assassin.] Well! There are goods and bads to everything, I guess. Or whatever the saying is.

[disingenuous]

We all have to do our best with what we're giving.

[ For better or worse. ]

But you should show me your best. Let me see how beautiful you can move with a sword. Move as you usually would.

[ Don't worry about whether or not she can follow his movements. ]

[slashay]

[it's because she's a vampire with special vampire eyes huh

Kashuu just nods at the first part, though, in complete agreement. What else can they do? As for the second, with a little quirking smile:]

Yeah? I'll show you what I've got, then!

[AND HE WILL. A little demonstration just for her... Obviously it's not as pristine as it would be with his actual blade, but it still reflects 500+ years of Being A Sword. His style is described by others as both vigilant and wild, and he's quite elegant with his bladework. He'd be even more elegant if it wasn't such an aggressive style, but sometimes, you're just a stabby lad beneath your makeup and fancy clothes.]

[disingenuous]

[ yeah, that's exactly why.

she watches with avid attention, and she applauds when he's done. ]

Truly magnificent.

[slashay]

[A little bow when he's done! Not so much a stage bow as an actual appropriate-for-dojos bow, though it's still lacking in any true pomp.]

Heh - thanks! You should see me with my real self.

[disingenuous]

[ It's a little odd to hear someone refer to themselves in third person like that, and it makes sense in context, but it takes a second for Roxana to nod. ]

I'd love to see it one day. You'd be a sight in motion.

[slashay]

[#swords... He's beaming, though!]

I am! I'll definitely show you as soon as I find me again.

[Just shoving the whole existential crisis box that this is back under the bed again.]

[disingenuous]

[ yeah, she's not going to touch that crisis box today. ]

Let's hope that's soon.
