"Me? Nah, what for?" He makes a gesture as if it were obvious that magic users don't dabble in such things. "But you're telling me you did all those sword moves <span class="mu-i">without</span> ki? That's kinda crazy..." He cracks open another beer. "Once you learn ki, you're really gonna take that stuff to the next level."
"Not necessarily," Yorunde chimes in, taking a can for herself. "You know, magic users have a reputation for staying at range, but there are many who fight up-close. They're called spellblades. You could still learn basic magic. You seem like you've got the aptitude."
"Meh..." Hassan guzzles down his beer. "Doesn't this dude strike you as more of a ki person?"
Yorunde laughs through her nose. "Not all mages are sophisticated." If that was intended as an insult, it went completely over Hassan's head.
