Be a man! [Closed]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

WHO: Issei and Lancer (Diarmuid Ua Duibhne.)
WHEN: Afternoon, October 24th.
WHERE: The park
SUMMARY: Issei would like to not die so easy, so he's going to pick up the sword apparently.
RATING: PG for training!
WARNINGS: They'll be swinging swords around.

Issei was ready for this.

...Well, no, he wasn't really.

He had done research about the proper ways to hold a sword, by Googling it. And he had found heavy objects like metal pipes to practice getting accustomed to carrying their weight. But he wasn't actually ready to train with a sword. He just didn't want to completely embarrass himself on his first day.

He wasn't one of the best students in Homurabara for nothing, though. He was studious and attentive. He would listen to every word his teacher spoke and put it to memory, and he would be able to get better.

He had also gotten there an hour early. Better safe than sorry.

...I'm sorry, he said what.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I'm telling you that he stood up during lunch one day, told me to take my clothes off, and then forcibly removed them.

You have not yet seen Emiya Shirou at his worst.

[croibhristeoir]

....For what purpose--

No, wait. Never mind, I don't think I want to know.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

You know, I have absolutely no idea. He told me to put them back on a little after he was done taking them off. He didn't do anything.

[croibhristeoir]

...Is he completely insane?

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

Yes.

[croibhristeoir]

...




Fair enough.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

[He'll just be grumbling here rapidly over how much of an idiot Emiya is.]

[croibhristeoir]

Was he always like that? I mean, considering his father I'd at least have expected him to be moderately clever.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

No, not really. He's intelligent in school, reasonably so. He's just terrible with people.

[croibhristeoir]

I see. I suppose that much can't really be helped.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

...At least I finally was able to tell someone about that. It was burning in the back of my mind like a secret shame.

[croibhristeoir]

I can't really blame you for that much.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

It was just so bizarre. I think I'm still in shock.

[croibhristeoir]

I really can't imagine what would possess anyone to just suddenly do such a thing.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I know. I feel sort of unclean thinking about it.

[croibhristeoir]

I don't blame you.

...You should really ask just what on earth he as thinking.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I really should. When things are a little calmer.

[croibhristeoir]

Good idea. If nothing else, I imagine things will quiet down until the next full moon.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I hope so. We deserve a bit of rest.

[croibhristeoir]

Perhaps. [Lancer smiled, looking almost like he was remembering something.] Though even the occasional match would be better than letting ourselves become completely idle until next time.

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I would never suggest we fall out of practice.

[croibhristeoir]

Of course not. I'd be only too happy to face you or any other whenever necessary.

[Someone's much too eager about that.]

[unknownrival.livejournal.com]

I may well take you up on that.

[croibhristeoir]

Excellent. I'm glad to hear that.
