and once she's inside, there's a pause as she glances around. it looks like she's about to lean the weapon against a wall, before shaking her head and deciding to keep holding it. it's fine. she clearly has no idea how to hold this properly but it's fine. ]
Yes, to wield a sword often requires months of building strength.
[ He's so focused on this that he forgets how close they are, going into professional knight mode and forgetting how intimate a position this might be. ]
You've a long way to go before you'll be able to swing this properly I'm afraid. But once we've perfected your stance we can discuss an exercise regimen to suit your needs.
[ He's got one hand on her elbow, and the other drifts past her waist to fix her legs– hand gripping her thigh through her clothing. ]

week 1, monday
but for now, she's knocking on dimitri's door. knock knock! and when he opens, he'll find her just smiling pleasantly at him
and also just, holding a naginata for some reason? oh well ]
no subject
[ He looks utterly perplexed but he holds the door open assuming she's going to enter. ]
Would you like to come in?
no subject
[ but in she goes!

Have you seen the ocean yet? It's very pretty.
no subject
[ He's staring at her weapon. ]
If I might derail this conversation? Why do you have that?
no subject
[ hm. where did she get this?
at least she remembers that she bought it. ]
I thought it look neat.
no subject
Do you know how to wield such an item?
[ he examines it a bit– the size, the height an what sort of material it seems to be made out of. ]
I could teach you if you'd like. Knowing how to defend yourself might be necessary.. this place being what it is.
no subject
Oh, that would be nice of you. It's a little awkward to hold.
[ that kind of answers the knowing how to use it question.
as for size, it's about average. i have no idea what it's made of i have to ask the mods. ]
no subject
But for once, Dimitri doesn't feel out of his depth in this place. So he rises to the occasion. ]
The first thing you'll need to learn is proper grip and posture. A sword is dangerous to you if you can't wield it properly.
[ Dimitri moves so he can stand behind her. ]
If I may, my lady–Â
[ His hands fall on her shoulders, gently straightening them out.
Then he places his palm on the small of her back, smoothing out her stance. ]
no subject
it's a good thing she's not shy, at least. ]
Does it always feel this heavy?
[ she's a spellcaster ]
no subject

[ potentially
perfecting the stance is important at least, because the chances of her accidentally stabbing herself was high before this.
grune glances over her shoulder to look at him more properly. ]
Do I always stand like this?
no subject
[ This is perhaps the most enthusiastic Dimitri has been at any point since waking up here. ]
Once you've learned the fundamentals we can adjust your stance accordingly to whatever your specific style of fight may be.
[ He's literally talking a mile a minute. ]
I must say, it's a very impressive sword. You've got a keen eye.
[ Finally he moves away from her just so he can stand in front and examine the sword more closely. ]
Beautiful, truly.
no subject
but she won't contest what dimitri said, and instead she simply smiles. ]
Why, thank you, I try.
[ she really doesn't.
but then there's a pause, her expression scrunching up just a bit as she... considers... ]
We should have sex now.

[ hello?? ]
I was under the impression you sought me out to learn how to wield this sword. Why– so suddenly..?
[ Grune explain! ]
no subject
[ grune is actually aware this isn't her room but she's still going to keep coming here as if it is. ]
So... that's the kind of thing we're supposed to do here, right? What better way to say thank you than to help you somehow?
no subject
You might exhaust yourself in any attempt to help me, my lady– and not in the way you may think.
[ Aka it takes a bit for him to get it up. ]
Perhaps I might service your needs instead?
no subject
but she blinks at that, tilting her head slightly. well... that's fine, probably. ]
Alright then, if you're okay with that.
