[There is context to this, though how much you get might be dependent on how well you know Roxas. But it's been on his mind a lot, especially since last month with it's stormy skies led to him taking a pretty big hit from a harpy. Recovery's been a thing, and it gives you time to think, which maybe isn't the best thing.

Maybe it's just been fair to say that Roxas's confidence has been rocked a little. And maybe he's reached a point where he's ready to ask for help.]

I want to get stronger. How do I do that?

That would depend on what you consider as being strong.

[seasaltkeys]

I just don't want to lose another fight

[catsgothistongue]

Have you tried lifting?

[seasaltkeys]

Lifting what?

[catsgothistongue]

Heavy stuff. Ya know, like weights, dumbbells, boulders. No pain, no gain?

[seasaltkeys]

Never really done that before. Lexaeus usually did the heavy lifting.

[At least, for the brief time Roxas knew him]

[moremystyle]

Strong how? Endurance? Muscle power?

[seasaltkeys]

I guess all of it?

[moremystyle]

All right.

What do you like better? Heights or water?

[seasaltkeys]

Uh...Heights.

Why?

I think that depends on what you want to get stronger for?

Do you want to be physically strong? Or is it your heart?

[seasaltkeys]

[Oh that is the question, isn't it? And he thought that he was strong in both.]

I just don't want to lose again. So whatever that takes

[forgeabettertomorrow]

What'd you lose? You get into a fight?

[unliminal]

it's something you gotta be born with
at least in part

[seasaltkeys]

So does that mean you can't get stronger?

[unliminal]

that depends
were you born with what it takes?

Beat up a lot of stuff.

[ And collect their drops and use them to increase your levels and traces— it's fine Roxas, you have protag power, you can do it!! ]

[seasaltkeys]

[That is usually the way to do it.]

what kind of stuff? Like monsters?

[misstellaron]

Yep. Or anyone who decides to be your enemy. You know. Gotta farm everyday or else you'll fall behind!

[starshower]

I think all of us do, in some way.

What way is it that you're looking to try?

[seasaltkeys]

A way that doesn't let me lose against a monster again, I guess is the way to put it.

[starshower]

Besides the obvious "more training" which I'm sure you've heard plenty of already by now... you gotta remember your mindset, too.

[makoglow]

Training, mostly.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, that's kind of what I'm getting.

And I can do that but I think I'm doing it wrong. No one's ever really taught me.

[makoglow]

How do you think that you are doing it wrong? What are you doing right now?
