"Nah, its not code I was just bored. Lighting stuff on fire though, that sounds really fun!" He hops up from the bar. 

"Actually, have you ever used a shardblade?"

“Can’t say I have. I’m not far enough along in my oaths of summon one, and it’s disrespectful to, as a Radiant, use a deadeye.” Ryn hops up after him

”Why do you ask?”

"Wanna try one?" Kyo summons two baldes, one long and flowing, wide bladed with blue swirls and waves down it, and one straight and thin, with red red crack patterns like lightning down the blade.

He held the second one out to Ryn. "This is Pyre. He's my ashspren. Did I mention I'm also a Dustbringer?"

Ryn stared down at the blade, surprised, “you did not.”

After a moment’s hesitation, she reached out and carefully accepted the offered blade.

"Oh. Oops. Yeah I'm a dustbringer too, that's how I caused all the property damage. Anyway, Pyre says hi. Here, lets go outside. Also, what type/shape/size of weapon do you want to try out?"

Ryn glances down, “Hello, Pyre. Lovely to make your acquaintance.”

She considers for a moment, “Hmmmm, oh! I know. Glaives have always been a weapon of interest, so I guess we can start there?”

"Sick!! Glaives are personally my favorite pole arm. They are just so objectively cool, right? Anyway." Pyre forms into a long glaive in her hands. "How much experience do you have with weapons in general? Do you wanna practice a bit or spar? Or just cut rust up cause its fun! :3"

Ryn twirls the glaive in her hands a few times, “not much, unfortunately. I’ve dabbled, but I’m not as well versed as I’d like to be, and I probably wouldn’t stand as a great sparring opponent.”

She gives a practice jab, “cutting stuff up stands as the most appealing option right now, but maybe you can give me some tips.”

"Sounds good! Lets find some rundown or damaged buildings to slice parts of." He sucked in some light and floated up. "Come on! See if you can pick a spot from up here."

Ryn breathes in her own light and joins him, though with less confidence. She surveys the city,

”How about over there,” she says, pointing to a run down, two story brick building towards the edge of the district

"Loos good!" He placed a hand on her shoulder cause she looked nervous. "Hey. You'll be fine! Have fun with flying, ok?" Then he lashed himself at the building.

Ryn mutters an “I hope you’re right,” before taking a deep breath and lashing herself after Kyo

Kyo touches down on the roof of this building, and sends his armor spren back at Ryn, just in case she came down fast to form around her. "Nice job! You're doing great!"

Ryn lands with a stumble

“I don’t know how y’all do that so gracefully. But, hey, at least I didn’t have a crash landing,” she says with a smile

"The trick is to kill your momentum as you land. It takes practice, but basically you lash yourself at 1.5 times your lashings you were using half a second before. Like, if you are lashed toward this building at 1 lashing, then you would lash yourself backward in the opposite direction at 1.5 lashings, and drop your forward lashing at the same time. Then once you are not moving relative to the building, you 1/3th lash yourself up, and drop all other lashings, and you float down. Then you cancel all your lashings once you're sure you're on your feet. And besides, you did really well for a beginner. I just used to rely on my Light to heal me and smash into things."

"Now, go try to cut through that random metal chimney over there!" he points with his blade. "I had Pyre put a very fine edge on that Glaive, so you can practice your edge alignment. If you don't line up your slice right, it wont cut. Go try!" He grins at her.

“Ah, I’ll keep that in mind.”

Ryn walks over towards the chimney, before turning backwards. “You can’t judge me if this goes horribly wrong,” she says, still walking, “I don’t have much practice with exotic weaponry. Glaives have been more of a ‘respect at a distance’ relationship.”

As she’s talking, a small fish appears and begins swimming in the air around her head. (@GraycePoise)

"Course I won't judge! This is for fun! It took me four years of intense training to get my edge alignment good. Who is that fish?"

I form into the typical honor spren. Except the clothing was more suited for colder weather. “Hello” I chime seeing the new person.

"Yeah. And dw, the only way you get good is by practicing. So, there is a small, smooth ridge along one side of that glaive. You feel it? That is aligned with the edge of your blade. Now, if you are familiar with the chain of the body, then just swing, and keep your knuckles aligned with the angle you want to cut at, ok? And the blade will follow."

“Alright…”

Ryn examines the glaive, aligning it based on Kyo instructions. After a moment, she swings at the chimney. That blade hits, but doesn’t cut.

”Dang it,” she mutters

“Very effective” Grayce muses from an over exaggerated distance.

"It's fine. So, first, where are you swinging from when you do this? Are you trying to pull all the power for this swing from your arms?"
