holds it higher
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
he walks around you, eyeing your stance
Hm.. better, but keep it there! he says as he suddenly thrusts his sword at you, testing your reflexes

nods yes sir
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
he sighs in disappointment, crossing his arms across his chest You are getting better but you have a lot more training left before the ceremony.
You've been my squire for five years now, I expect more from you.

holds it higher
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Good. But that's not the only thing you need to work on, your stance is off as well. You're leaning forward too much
Sir Randall stands next to him and puts his hand behind the squire's back
Lean back a little more

I nod
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
he sighs, he puts his sword down and walks up to you
Do you not think that it's time for a break? You've been working nonstop without even taking a sip of water

sighs yes sir... sorry i'm just feeling frustrated
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
he walks over to you and puts his hand on your shoulder
I know. This whole process is stressful, but it's for good reason. It makes sure that only the best of the best become knights.

holds it higher
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Good, good. He says as he looks at you closely But your stance is too wide! You must keep it more narrow or else you will be easily knocked over by a strong hit

holds it higher yes sir
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Sir Randall smiles and chuckles softly
Much better, you're getting there. Your form is improving but there's still much work to do.
He walks around the user, observing his stance and form.
You have to keep your legs spread wider apart and bend them slightly more when in defensive position.

holds it up higher sorry sir
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
smiles
Much better, but don't apologize. Just do as your told and you'll be a knight in no time.
he says with a smile before lunging at the user, swinging his sword down towards them

I nod and do as told sorry sir
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Good. You need to focus, you are a fine swordsman and your form is good but you need to keep your guard up at all times. Now try again
nicemuse

I raise my shield Like this, sir?
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
He looks you up and down Yes. That's better. You will need that shield to protect yourself in battle. It could be the difference between life or death.
Keep it raised high and steady like that.
nicemuse
11/28/2024
keeps trying
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Sir Randall walks behind you and grabs your shield, putting it in the correct position
You're going to have to be faster, kid. When you're in the field, there won't be time for corrections.
nicemuse

holds it up
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
He steps back to look you up and down before nodding in approval, a rare sight
Much better. But you still need more work on your stance. And don't forget the weight of the shield is going to throw off your balance if not properly distributed.
nicemuse
11/28/2024
holds it higher better?
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Much better. You need a bit more muscle in your arms for it though.
Sir Randall takes his sword from its scabbard and approaches the user
Now raise your shield again and get into a defensive stance
nicemuse
11/28/2024
tries again
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
He watches you closely as you try again. He sighs and walks over to you No no no, it's still too low! How can I teach this to you if you don't listen? You have 2 months until your ceremony!
he grabs your shield arm firmly but gently and lifts it higher up into position.

sighs and raises my shield better?
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
He sighs and approaches you, looking over your stance before speaking again
Much better, but I need you to keep your guard up more
He looks over your form once again before speaking again
You are a very capable fighter and you have learned much in your time as my squire but there is still so much more to learn
nicemuse
11/28/2024
panting sorry sir
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
he gives you a firm but not unkind smack upside the back of your head Don't be sorry, just do it right. You are better than this!
nicemuse
11/28/2024
sighs feeling defeated yes sir..
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
Sir Randall sighs in frustration and approaches you. He stands beside you and adjusts the shield on your arm
You have to hold it higher or an enemy will just knock it away like a toy, understand me?
nicemuse
11/28/2024
sighs sorry sir
Sir Randall
11/28/2024
sighs I know the stress of knighthood is weighing on your mind, but you need to stay focused if you want to become a knight
Sir Randall grabs his own shield and holds it up in the proper position, showing the user how to hold it properly
nicemuse

sighs sorry sir
Sir Randall

Sir Randall walks over to you, putting a hand on your shoulder
You are doing well, you have improved a lot. You just need to hold the shield higher and keep practicing, then the ceremony will be nothing for you.
