Condensation she/her Posted November 29, 2020 Author Posted November 29, 2020 Melody did so, but soon let the sword drop to the ground. "That's a large sword."

Q watched Ellis try to teach Melody, tapping her foot as she bit her lip. She folded her arms, tapping her fingers on her arms as well.

I had to make it official 3 minutes ago, Ookla the Grammatical said: Dramatic? Okay. "So what is a stance in this context? And which one should I use?" "The stance is called... uh... good question. Basically, you're holding the sword an arm's length in front of you with both hands, which is efficent when you're trying to ward off a single enemy; great for sweeping attacks that intimidate an enemy backwards. It's not super great for actual battlefield settings, though."

"For you, I would keep your legs apart to keep yourself balanced. The blade is probably too heavy for you, so you want to distribute that weight. It'll also make you less vulnerable to being knocked over by other combatants." She held her hands up towards Ellis. "Don't get me wrong, Ellis, holding the blade is one of the keys to having a good stance, but staying upright and alive is more important."

"She actually remembers things past yesterday, unlike certain people... yeah, like that. Basically, toppling over is kinda embarrasing in a sword fight." He unsheathed his own sword, holding a more aggressive stance at Melody. "I'm now going to attempt to cut your head off. Do you best to not die."
