"AAARGH! Who's going to train me now that Guts is unconscious?"
"The fact that you always forget my existence is downright insulting, Isidrop!" Puck chastises him as he tugs on his brows.
"Ditto." You appear behind Isidro as he jumps backwards from being startled at your display of stealth. "You know Guts is not the only one who knows how to use a blade in our team, you could just ask Serpico or me to give you some advice!"
"Nah! I saw what that witch did with her magic! The more I see those spells, the more I lose respect for you magic types!"
"Why?"
"Don't 'why?' me! I don't want to rely on claps, bows and chants for every problem I got! Where's the glory of the good old days? Where's the hurrah from doing things all by yourself! I don't want to feel useless like I did back in the village!"
"You weren't there in the 'good old days', kid. Besides, I can deal with both just fine."
"But that's different. Let me spell it out for you: Mercenaries? Cool! Knights? Not cool."
"How about you train with a mercenary then? Cindy just finished this piece for me, and I've been meaning to get some fresh air while I can." Casca dons the shortsword you lent to her, feeling the weight of the weapon pulling her arms down.
"Oh yeah! I forgot you were a merc like Guts! But are you really good with a sword, Casca? I dunno, maybe it's too much for a--"
"Girl? It's only the first few thousand times I heard this one... Although I've gotten quite rusty, and the rash is starting to get distracting..." Casca wonders if it's a good idea to train while running on mandragoran fumes, but serving as an extra motivator to Isidro might finally make him focus for once...
"What are we doing today, boss?" Puck salutes.
>Develop muscle mass. Let's see how many sit-ups you can do.>Spar with me for a bit, Casca. Maybe Isidro will learn a few things from it.>Raising endurance. See that wall over there? You can start climbing it.>It might be best for you to sit this one out after what happened at the tree dome, Casca.>We haven't gotten all that used to our magic weapons yet, let's test them out.>Write-in.
