Day 65 [video]
[Dilandau's out in the grassy land near the beach, sweating from a recent bout of intensive exercise]
Have you finally stopped apologising now? [He doesn't hide the curl of his lip that shows how little he thinks of such gestures] I need a sparring partner, so if any of you demons have a sword and know how to use it, tell me. I start working at dawn.
[He pauses, narrowing his eyes]
And I don't want any of you to start telling me swords don't exist in your worlds too. I'm sick of hearing about how alien you all are.

Are you trying to say your land has contact with Gaia? What do we look like in your present?

[He's never enjoyed discussing theoreticals. That's the realm of Sorcerers and politicians, not practical men.]
What branch of the military are you with? What weapons do you use with your shield?

Infantry or mounted? I'm interested to see how a man fights with just a shield.

[ he is there in an hour, holding his shield and looking positively ridiculous. ]

You've got a target on your shield? What are you meant for, drawing enemy fire?

[ Mainly it's so people shoot at him and not the others, but seriously, why did they change Steve to a covert special oops group with this thing?
Anyway, he raises it. ]
Everyone fight with a sword where you're from?
no subject
The infantry use swords and bows, but I moved up to being a guymelef pilot when I was fourteen.
[He starts to circle, watching how easily Steve moves to keep his defences up. The man's far bulkier than him, but Dilandau knows that doesn't always mean he'll be less agile]
no subject
Mostly, he's on the defensive, watching how this guy attacks. When he moves, it's mostly backwards, throwing parries, nimble despite being bulky. ]
You're pretty good with that.
no subject
I'm not good with it, I'm excellent.
[He darts low, attempting to swipe Steve's feet. Now that he's got a little measure, he's not holding back his blows.]
