[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.]

If that were the case, she wouldn't be so offended by me not liking her and calling her on her bullshit.

[schardynfreude]

There was no reason for her to be so offended with Ruin and Lion, either. She's an odd chocobo, that one.

[swordofajerk]

[Sword nearly misses his next swing because--]

Odd what?

[schardynfreude]

[Chiron blinks owlishly at him for a moment.]

Chocobo. Like an odd bird - it's, er. Something of a turn of phrase, I suppose.

[swordofajerk]

Like "odd duck"?

[schardynfreude]

...Well, different places would have different ways of saying the same thing, naturally.

She's odd, in any event.

[swordofajerk]

Just say it, Chiron. She's a pain in the ass.

[schardynfreude]

She can be odd and a pain. I don't know if she knows quite what she wants. But then, do any of us? There's a lot of anger in her and seemingly nowhere to put it all.

I don't forgive her for her ridiculousness, of course.

[swordofajerk]

She came down here to harass me for no reason whatsoever. She's beyond ridiculous, Chiron.

[schardynfreude]

That's...troubling. Picking fights with you specifically for no reason.

And you two do not strike me as the type to stand for some mediation to work out your issues. Whatever they may be.

[swordofajerk]

I just want her to leave me alone unless we're working together. I don't see what's so hard to understand about that.

[schardynfreude]

I imagine no one will let you work together if it can at all be helped. It's clear your personalities clash, even if they're similar in some surface ways.

Still...perhaps I'll talk with her. She may not see reason per se, but it's worth a shot.

[swordofajerk]

It's really not, but I can't stop you.
