    Summary

    She whirls around and points the wooden blade in his direction. “Did you come just to berate me?”

    “No,” he says, eyebrows raised. “I came to train, but if you’re already here, let’s spar.”

    Lysithea blinks. “Are you serious?”

    “Are you afraid?”

    Something in her clicks, red hot. She narrows her eyes and tightens her hold on the hilt. “No,” she says. “Are you ready?”

    Felix unsheathes his sword in one long motion, graceful and practiced, as if by second nature. It cuts through the air and shines silver, clearly polished and well maintained, and for a moment Lysithea sees her own reflection in the blade. An animal, she thinks to herself, with her wide eyes and untamed hair. I look like an animal.

    “Let’s go, then.”

    Lysithea learns how to use a sword. The help she receives is abrasive, but she's never known how to be soft, anyway.

    Me seeing the 2 biggest assholes in the game: I can make them SO much worse.
