Just wait until you try my rolanberry cheesecake. It makes men's knees weak.

Yes. I've another individual I'm teaching how to cook, a few commissions to finish and some records to put in order for a client. I'm also doing my best to keep atop my magic studies and recently I've taken up learning how to use a blade effectively.

_{[Not to chop carrots, mind you, but more to stab people.]}

[supersoldier]

[A huff on his side, though she can’t hear it.]

I doubt I have a choice.

[But stabbing people, she says.]

Swordmanship? Who’s teaching you?

[seemstressed]

You don't.

_[♥️]

Yes. While magic is one way of defending one's self, I find it may be in my best interest to learn a more physical means of keeping myself safe. His name is Felix. He's a soldier by trade. Tall but shorter than you, has dark hair he keeps tied up and pretty golden eyes. Maybe you'll run into him as he's going on the expedition as well.

He seems prone to putting holes in his clothes and so we struck a deal - I'll patch his garments up in exchange for a few lessons.

[supersoldier]

I remember the name. The man you suggested I seek as a sparring partner.

[Maybe he should reach out, now that the name and subject has come up a second time. He sets aside the thought for now.]

I can teach you, as well, if you want a second perspective. Not for a fee. Swordsmanship is where I excel.

[And familiarity is so easy to latch onto.]

[seemstressed]

Yes. That's him. Perhaps the two of you would have something common to talk about, if anything. It may be a comfort to have another soldier to confide in.

Really, you would? I would absolutely love to take you up on your offer!

[supersoldier]

I’m not looking to confide as much to fight when I can. Training has always been necessary, and I don’t want to fall out of the habit if I can avoid it. Would you consider him skilled?

As soon as I’ve returned from the expedition, we’ll arrange a time and place.

[seemstressed]

I would, from what little I know anyway. His instruction thus far has been to the point and easy to understand. If anything, he's extremely passionate about it.

That sounds wonderful.

[supersoldier]

Passion doesn’t always equate to skill. Neither does capable instruction.

[Sephiroth is, by default, more certain of his own skill and less of others’. It’s a subject where his pride flares the brightest when he allows it.]

[seemstressed]

I suppose you'll have to simply see for yourself and make your own judgement.

[supersoldier]

I think I will.

But for us, keep your busy schedule open. I won’t forget.

[seemstressed]

Of course, of course.
