Summary
Moving on, Dimitri focused on the question at hand. “You wish to… spar?” He pressed his lips together, faintly, unsure. “With me?”
Claude raised his eyebrows. “That a problem?”
Dimitri bit his tongue to hold back his first response, 'it’s strange enough to warrant scrutiny,' and then his second, 'I hardly ever see you here even with those you are more inclined to pass the time with,' as well. He shifted his stance and rested both hands on his hips to dissipate the thoughts further, concealing the unfavorable judgment to the best of his ability. He studied Claude for a moment, not bothering to attempt to hide it. Claude stared back, affably unreadable.
“No, it’s not.” Dimitri decided. He smiled, small and anticipatory. “Pick your weapon.”
**
Sunset, alone together at the training grounds, and Claude wants to spar. Certainly, Dimitri thinks, this is the one situation he can afford to feel as though he's entering it on an even keel.

Summary
SEQUEL TO MIRROR TO MIRROR
**
Claude brought one hand to his hip, digging into skin with his thumb, the closest thing he would consciously allow himself to a tell. It was fine, then. There was no need to keep… observing, let alone ask, because that was Claude’s answer, as if it hadn’t already been clear enough.
But Dimitri took a measured breath—his version of a sigh, Claude suspected—before saying, “No, you are right, of course. I really should get in some training before the exam. I am somewhat worried about some of the more... sophisticated maneuvers associated with the physical portion of certification. Combat archery demands a certain grace that I tend to find lacking in myself.”
“I could always help you out.” The words escaped Claude before he had even registered their existence, before he could catch them and force them back down.
**
Or a story of getting together, in three training sessions and a certification exam.
