[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?

easy
dodge the sword or the claws until you can get a good kick in the gut in

I'm all right. I got off way lighter than I could have, given the size and ferocity she had.

[seasaltkeys]

Well I got that
but it didn't really help me

[seasaltkeys]

No kidding
it was pretty bad all around then

Just hitting things doesn't teach you anything other than how to just throw your strength around.

There's more to it than that.

[seasaltkeys]

Yeah, I kinda figured. I was just kind of shown the basics and that was that.

So I don't even really know where to start

[unliminal]

then practice your kicks until they get stronger!

[seasaltkeys]

That seems almost too easy.

[But he is going to do it.]

A good place to start would be learning proper handling techniques. Not everything is about how hard you can hit your opponent. You just wear yourself out that way.

[seasaltkeys]

[That is. What he normally does though. And it works.]

Right. So. How do I learn that?

[makoglow]

Usually from someone good at teaching that sort of thing.

[seasaltkeys]

Don't suppose you know anyone?
