[So. Sword going at it with a training dummy is not that uncommon. In the month or so he's been here, he's pretty much seen beating the shit out of a dummy for a few hours a day.

This is a bit Much, though. He's been at it since breakfast, stopped for a quick lunch, and went right back to training. It's now nearly dinner, and he hasn't stopped since.

There may be a Problem.]

[ Meanwhile Achilles is a very uncommon sight to see at anything involving training, but like how he finally decided to show up for one of Lion's sessions, it looks like he's decided to stop by here today too.

He pauses and watches Sword for a while though, not wanting to interrupt by saying anything at first but eventually finding the need to say something. ]

Are you preparing for the battle ahead, Sir Sword?

[swordofajerk]

And if I am?

[Sword is extremely prickly today, it seems.]

[twibeast]

[ Uh oh he's picking up on that prickliness, but he'll stay pleasant. ]

Well, I would commend you on your diligence and hard work of course. It's good to be prepared for what's to come next.

Though I would also hope you're not overexerting yourself.

[swordofajerk]

[Ignore how he's shaking, okay?]

I'm not.

[twibeast]

[ hmmmmmmmmmMMMMMMMMMMMMMM........

He watches him for a moment, making sure he's not just imagining things before deciding to say something. ]

So are you shaking for some other reason then?

[swordofajerk]

I don't know what you're talking about.

[Liar.]

[twibeast]

[ FROWNING!! ]

Have you truly not noticed or are you simply that stubborn?

[swordofajerk]

It's not causing any problems.

[twibeast]

Not yet it hasn't but you must know such things are a bad sign of problems to come, yes? You have limits...

[ He pauses and thinks on it for a moment. To be training down here nonstop with that level of stubbornness... ]

...Did something happen?

[swordofajerk]

That doesn't concern you.

[So. Yes, but this is Sword so he's not going to say anything about what happened.

But something defs happened.]

[twibeast]

[ ... ]

You're right. It doesn't. It's none of my business, really.

But the general well being of everyone in our group is a thing that causes me quite a lot of concern, actually. No matter how long someone's been with us - it's in my nature to worry, I'm afraid.

...You need not talk about it if you do not want to. But it would probably be a good idea to take a break, else you do some serious harm and put yourself out of sorts right before our operation even begins.

[swordofajerk]

If I refuse, are you going to stand there and judge me?

[twibeast]

No. But I'll probably go and tell someone who would, just in case. Or would at least be able to heal you when you inevitably wear yourself out.

[swordofajerk]

[Sword sighs and transforms out of his battle attire, sword vanishing in the process.]

Happy?
