C-Support Conversation: Parith + Koorier
Parith is out in the courtyard, practicing on the straw dummies, when Koorier comes running in, dragging a very heavy broadsword.
KOORIER: Hey, Parry! I wanna try swordfighting! Teach me!
PARITH: I... Well, I’ll show you. First, put that sword away. What I’m about to teach you won’t work with that weapon.
He does as told and sets it aside.
PARITH: Next, pick up one of those wooden swords, and we’ll begin.
Time passes, as Koorier tries and fails to learn the proper techniques.
KOORIER: Man, this is way hard! I thought this was going to be easy.
PARITH: If you expect anything to be easy, you’re in for a massive disappointment. Fighting of any sort is a performance art, one that requires years of practice to master. One mistake, and you’re dead. You take your fighting abilities seriously, don’t you?
KOORIER: Well, yeah, of course! I had to work out these muscles to hit harder. And I’m always working everyday to become stronger.
PARITH: It’s the same with me and my sword. It requires a different set of movements and techniques, but the premise is largely the same.
KOORIER: I see... Hey, since you’re teaching me all this stuff, howzabout I teach you a thing or two in return? Say, fist fighting? Or maybe baking; I know you love your sweets!
PARITH: You can bake?
KOORIER: Heck yeah! Just like Ma taught me! My pies are the best in the Village!
PARITH: If that’s the case, I’d like to try one sometime. You got yourself a deal.
