Aymeric takes a neutral stance, not defensive or offensive yet. For now, he observes their posture, studying very carefully. ]
Then I hope to witness your other masteries in the future.
[ He shifts his weight and his stance changes instantly. With a quick lunge, he goes for a pierce. don't torture me into writing a fight i am giving us a preamble ]
[ i will take pity, I thank you for your service. me just like: THEY FIGHT NOW. In general, they're extremely quick. dex 20. but pretty vicious with that polearm. they aren't using their color or anything, except for when they sort of seem to blink out of the air on occasion - maybe somewhat without thinking about it. it's kind of cheating. it's fine. ]
[ This is the most beautiful fight scene I’ve ever read. Steel obviously wins, but Aymeric does give a good spar. His strikes and movements use most of his weight, full of wide arcs, but quick in succession. In the end, he can’t match up when he’s a tank and not a melee dps.
Also, what the fuck. I guess sometimes blinking happens. ]
[ thank you, i tried very hard. who doesn't love a good tank though. he'll probably manage to land at least one hit because Touch Week. im a mod and I say that can count. anyway, disgustingly, they're a little smug at the victory, even though he's nerfed and they're clearl not.]
One should hope so. It's the main point of my duties here. But thank you anyway. And really-- there's no need for titles. Steel is fine with me.
[ its like claires brand and its gonna turn his ear green
no, it seems to be well made. heavy enough to be quality without being too hefty. anyway, they seem a bit embarrassed to be called out for making something nice, and simply LOOK OFF the other direction.]
I am pleased that you seem satisfied. It should be proper incentive to complete more of the tasks.

Steel. [ they may have it. ] I had first thought you would also wield a blade based on your profile information. Is it one of your disciplines?
[ I’m cry no one told him ‘twas meme ]
no subject
I do wield a blade. I simply haven't, as of late.
[ though there's the tiniest bit of confusion in their voice when they say that? Why not. Hm. ]
no subject
Is aught amiss...?
no subject
Ah-- No. I was only thinking. I suppose ... I haven't seen a sword here, for some time. Discounting the ones you've brought, of course.
no subject
[ ... ]
Can you at the very least recall when was the last time you held a blade? Or stumbled upon one?
no subject
[ just kidding we're not going that meta ]
The swords room has plenty. None of them are mine, however. So really, I don't feel the need to take them.
no subject
I imagine asking if you remember your sword would result with naught...

[ so nosy!! ]

I have asked you many questions today, haven't I. 'Twould be remiss of me to not repay you. Is there aught you need or desire?
no subject
If anything, you have fulfilled my task, so to speak, so I'm the one that should be providing you something.
no subject
[ aymeric really has just been helping and not thinking about it. ]
no subject
Can you think of anything you'd want? I have been told I am not allowed to provide weaponry ...
[ frowny face ]

[ But now he's also like ? I could have asked for a bow...? Anyway. ]
I do miss some of my skills from home, but I imagine that is far from reach.

[ With a general idea, it’s HELPFUL. ]
Would accessories be too complex?

[They think for a moment, before a delicate earring appears. Holding it out.]
Perhaps it is not your taste, but ... you did ask for what I would think of.
no subject
[ he takes the earring! And their fingertips can touch briefly. Giving it a look real quick. ]
Nay, 'tis beautiful, Steel.
[ Even takes off the one he's wearing to put this one on, checking the feel and weight. ]

Enough incentive it is. Do expect me the next week.
