Part 176: Vaike B

Ah, Vaike.

Heya, Miriel! So did you watch me fight or what?

Indeed. I observed that your battle shouts enhanced the effectiveness of your blows. Often the foe would briefly let down his guard, granting you a momentary opening. I had not realized the impact war cries could have on the psychology of an enemy.

Yeah, yeah. But what about me? What about the Vaike?!

I observed the details of your moves, but not from the perspective of the foe. Perhaps an analogy would be helpful here... So if we were to assume that you are a planet and the enemy is the sun---

Hey, wait. I wanna be the sun!

But the sun does not travel around planets. Rather, planets spin around the sun. Or so it was postulated in my mother's book. It has yet to be proven...

You sure it's not your head spinnin'? I don't see this ground going anyplace.

Alas, we cannot sense this motion, making the theory intuitively difficult.

All right, sure. The ground's spinnin'. Just like when I swing my weapon. yeah?

Yes. This generates the centripetal force we discussed the other day. I'm glad we had this conversation. It has helped clarify my thoughts on the subject. Would you mind terribly if we continued our discussions For research purposes?

You mean chat as friends? Er, well, sure. After all, we have so much in...uh, common?
