[ voice ] | sometime end of January | and wow did you really

[hatesviolence]

[Beep beep beep—]

Saber? Just wanted to let you know about the exercises you gave me earlier. Still don't have it down completely, but I think it's been helping. Well, I've been trying a lot of other stuff as well, but your little mind trick technique is something I can do on my own at any time.

You almost replied to my Onbux.

[dragonsinmy]

I see, good. But what else have you been doing?

Onbuxes are cool.

[hatesviolence]

I tried that dunamis thing. Oh, and Freya is teaching me how to be a dragoon thing.

[dragonsinmy]

Excuse me?

[Saber sounds REALLY confused...]

[hatesviolence]

I'm trying dunamis and Freya is teaching me how to be a dragoon.

[Which part does he need to explain...]

[dragonsinmy]

Are you pronouncing dragon incorrectly?

[hatesviolence]

No, not dragon.

[Ah.]

But they're also called dragon knights.

[dragonsinmy]

... May I ask why you are going through such training? If I recall, this is outside of your comfort zone.

[hatesviolence]

Mm...yeah, it's different. But when I was working with dunamis, I realized a lot of it also dealt with my strength. So I figured I might as well learn how to better control that, too.

Well, actually I was just going in there to learn martial arts and give 'em the spear since didn't know what else to do with it, but that's when Roy introduced me to Freya and they wanted to see how high I jumped and guess I passed the test.

[He still isn't really sure how it happened either, but oh well.]

Not that I want to be picking fights. [Not that he even needs training—] But since I keep hearing about control and all that... And things happen around here with the Arehtei and stuff—figured I might as well try everything and see what worked.

[ie, shotgun method.]

[dragonsinmy]

When did this happen? Where did this happen? Also, why does everyone I know happen to know one another?

[Was it actually threaded out?]

[hatesviolence]

Earlier last month, uh, at the places the sessions were? And dunno about the last one.

[Dunamis was a partial, but the dragon knight thing was a complete. Yeah don't know how that happened, either.]

[dragonsinmy]

... Ah, right. I believe Roy was holding training sessions of sorts before.

As I was not personally involved, you can imagine how it may have slipped my mind.

[hatesviolence]

[A nod.]

I wasn't gonna go to it, but... Well I thought it couldn't hurt. The whole focus thing. See which ones work best.

But your mental ball thing helps most when I'm at work.

[dragonsinmy]

Not how I would personally describe it, but it pleases me know I was of help.

[hatesviolence]

Yeah, I'm really glad I went. [Of course it makes sense that the more mental exercise would work better in a more public space. Having different techniques will allow him to utilize each in a variety of situations at least.]

Though. Sometimes when I imagine the ball I end up imagining the person's head and squeezing it. Is that supposed to happen?

[dragonsinmy]

... I... suppose that would depend on the situation.

[hatesviolence]

Oh yeah?

[dragonsinmy]

Is the person your enemy?

[hatesviolence]

...Define enemy.

[ It's the middle of the day when Iri knocks on Saber's bedroom door. ]

Saber? May I come in?

[dragonsinmy]

[Saber is immediately at attention. And goes to open the door.]

Yes, of course.

[repositories]

[ She greets Saber with a smile. ]

Hello, Saber. Are you doing well today?

[dragonsinmy]

I... yes? I admit that I was expecting to be asked to do something.

[A simple greeting could have been handled at any other time.]

[repositories]

You were?

[ Iri blinks a little before sending Saber a rather apologetic look. ]

... I'm sorry, Saber. Does it feel as though I've been asking a lot of you lately?

[dragonsinmy]

Oh, not at all. Nor would I mind.

It is simply that... such simple greetings are hard for me to become accustomed to, even after all this time.
