I hate to ask this but is there anyone around who can help me? My arm should be somewhat okay so would anyone be willing to spar with me? Just enough where I can get my arm moving again.

I can do it, if your brother will allow it happening out of his sight.

Though you'd really be sparring with Mehrak, more than me.

[scooba]

Lyney already knows.

...I just have to be careful about not using it too much.

[empyrean_mirror]

We can certainly manage that. I've had Mehrak spar with young kids before, she should be able to keep your injury safe.

Can you meet me at the cafe? We won't spar there, but it's the best way to get where I'm thinking.

[scooba]

Okay then, I'll be there.

Is there anything I should be prepared for?

If moving the arm is the aim, would creating a number of targets for you to hit suffice? I cannot match you with a sword, but I could easily create a number of targets for you to focus on.

[ He may have played with toy swords as a kid, but he's no single stick expert like some other Holmes. ]

[scooba]

I think that would be better.

I don't want to sit around and do nothing.

I can create light projections with my magic. You won't feel any physical feedback as your weapon will pass through like it is air, but again, if movement is your primary concern, then this could provide an opportunity for the both of us.

[scooba]

You can do that?

...That's kind of amazing. How did you do that?

[astudyinviolet]

I've been learning to use light magic from this world. It has been slow going, so the additional practice will benefit me as well.

[ He knows you, Freminet. He will spin this in a way to make it sound like Freminet is doing him a favor and cut off any ideas of debts or being a bother. ]

[scooba]

...

If there anything else I can do help you with your research?

[gruffier]

If your arm is still recovering, sparring may not be the best option at the time. You may risk damaging it further.

[scooba]

I suppose not.

But I do need some assistance with helping me move it more often.

[gruffier]

I'm no doctor, but I do know of one who would give a proper scolding should you not allow yourself time to heal.

[ Why does the text from Freminet sound so sad!? ]

Although... I may be able to assist. If only to keep your arm mobile.

[scooba]

...I am aware. My brother and Kaveh would do that.

But that would be wonderful. Thank you for helping me.

Where do you want us to meet?

[gruffier]

Oh? You know Kaveh. Then I’m certain you are already in good hands.

If it is not too far we can meet on Elrut. Or perhaps… using this shellphone?

[scooba]

Yes, I do. He's from the same world as me.

But...can we spar on the shellphone?

Happy to help, friend! What kind of sparring we talking? Fist to fist, sword-fighting, what have you?

[scooba]

I suppose sword-fighting?

I never tried fist to fist before. Isn't that more difficult to fight with?

[sos_pilot]

Sure, but in my line of 'work', you gotta be prepared for every scenario. You don't wanna be left defenseless if your weapons are knocked out of your hand!

[scooba]

...I wonder if I could learn that from you.

[sos_pilot]

I'd be happy to teach you! I can even share a word of wisdom right now!

When throwing a punch? Tuck your thumb into your fist, not over it. When punching, hurting you hand is a big risk, but that keeps your thumb from getting broken.

[scooba]

Really?

I never knew that. The only person I know who fights with his fist is...a bit scary.

[obliviscere]

I'm not sure what sort of challenge I'd really be, probably not very much, but I'd be happy to help you.

[scooba]

You don't have to spar if you don't want to.

I just want to regain strength in my arm.

[obliviscere]

I've been wanting more practice! And I'd like to help you. How were you hurt?

I'd be glad to help as well, if you still need assistance. I've some experience with several sorts of weapon, though some more than others.

I've also needed to recover quickly after an injury before, [mainly a doctor insisting she not move, but Miriam insisting just as loudly that she needed to do that thing] so I understand that.
