Part 354: Lon'qu A

Hmm? Someone tidied up all the practice equipment. Also the laundry's been brought in, and supper is on the boil. What manner of witchcraft is this?!

I did these things.

You?!

Yes. I discovered a problem during our fencing lesson. You are too worried about everything else going on in this camp. This means you are incapable of the proper focus required for fencing. I have removed the distractions so that you might concentrate properly.

Oh, er. Right. I see.

Ungh...

Lon'qu? What's happening? What are you doing? You just went pale!

I am steeling myself for our next session. It's a complicated procedure that cannot be shouted from a distance. I must... approach you... and hold your arm... to show you how... to perform the action...

Gracious, Lon'qu! If it's so stressful, we can skip the lesson.

N-no! I owe you... a debt... Just... watch well. I don't want... to do this again.

You have my undivided attention!
