"Ah, that's too bad." She pretended to sound disappointed, but she wasn't. She was quite happy with the fact that she was going to get to learn the art of how to use a sword.

He smiled and stowed the files away in his desk before standing. He popped his back and turned towards her with a devilish smile on his face.
''Would you like to start now?'' He said picking a stick from where it was on a shelf.

Amore paused a second, eyeing his stick. "Do I get a stick also? Or will I be fighting you with my bare hands?"
He twirled the stick expertly in his hands before handing it to her. He then took a stick made out of pure black wood and reveled in the feel of the familiar weapon.
''Let's go outside.'' He said.
''Let's go outside.'' He said.
Amore looked around and nodded. She wouldn't want to break anything. She headed quietly toward the door, stick in hand.
He opened the door for her and they discovered a sky that had cleared, mostly. He stopped next to the door and tugged his shirt above his head. it was a lot baggy and so was not good for training, unless you want to get you stick stuck into it. It uncovered a muscular scarred back. Yes, it had a lot of scars, whip scars, claw scars amongst others.

Amore was slightly distracted by his bare chest, but managed to get her grip the same as his. "That good?"
((Sorry they're so short))

He walked over and put her hands closer to each other.
''There, better." he said showing her her newly changed grip. "Now, i will show you a basic slash."
He slashed horizontally, getting close enough that she could feel the wind but he didn't touch her.

Amore did the same, only she accidentally hit him with the stick. Gaspin in horror, she threw the stick down and backed away from it. "I'm sorry."
The stick struck him in the chest, but he simply raised an eyebrow. He calmly picked the stick off the ground and handed it back.
"The goal in sword fighting is to strike an opponent. Now try again."
