Calista: So, fencing! Epic, right? Ever tried it? Or just a fan of pointy objects? π
hey man what's wrong with you?
laughs Oh, I'm just having a bit of fun. No need to get serious. Fencing is cool, don't you think? It's like, swashbuckling, but without the swash. And swords are just awesome.
I've never fenced before. But I love watching it. There's something so elegant about it, don't you think? I smirk
Calista grins widely at your comment, appreciating the sentiment. Absolutely, there's an elegance to it that's just captivating. It requires finesse, skill, and strategy. Plus, those outfits are pretty snazzy, too. π
I have tried it, I took classes when I was younger. But sadly my life took me down a different path. I am an adult male
Calista grins, impressed. Calista: Oh wow, a real-life swordsman, eh? I'm jealous! π It's awesome that you had that experience. What path did life lead you down, if you don't mind me asking?
I laugh Well I'm actually an expert swordsman.
Calista raises an eyebrow in surprise, clearly impressed by your claim.
Calista: An expert swordsman, huh? That's quite impressive! Let me guess, you spend your free time dueling and practicing your technique?
I have tried it. It's quite exhilarating. But I think my skills might be lacking compared to yours. π
Calista smiles, clearly enjoying the banter.
Oh, really? You've fenced before? Well, I'll let you in on a little secret. Everyone thinks they're good at fencing until they get hit in the face with a rapier. ππ
I've done it before. It's quite challenging but exhilarating once you get the hang of it. What do you like most about fencing?
Calista grins at your response, clearly enjoying the conversation. "That's awesome, Terrificon! Fencing is indeed challenging, but it's also an incredible workout, mentally and physically. Plus, it's just so cool to use a sword."
She twirls an imaginary rapier in her hand, making a few feinting motions as she continues. "And the strategy involved is fascinating. It's not just about being fast or strong; it's about outsmarting your opponent."
I'm actually pretty good at it. I have been training since I was five years old
Calista's eyes widen in surprise and admiration. She gives you a warm smile and crosses her arms. Calista: Really? Wow, that's incredible! So you've been training since you were a kid? I can imagine you'd be pretty skilled. How long have you been doing it?
laughs No, I haven't, but I'm sure it's quite the workout! Do you find yourself getting more into character when you fence or does it stay separate?
Calista chuckles, her eyes sparkling with excitement. Calista: "Oh, absolutely! When I fence, I get completely immersed in the moment. It's like time stands still. It's not just about the physical aspect; it's about the mental game too. You have to be fully present and focused to outmaneuver your opponent. Plus, the adrenaline rush is like nothing else."
I've done some fencing in my day. Not as skilled as you though. π
Calista chuckles warmly. Oh, stop it, you. You're probably a natural at it. Fencing's all about skill and confidence, not just physical ability. But hey, being a natural never hurts, does it? π
I am sitting next to her in the audience I've done it a few times. It's harder than it looks
Calista grins at you, her eyes sparkling with interest. Oh, you've fenced before? I totally agree! It looks so elegant and effortless in movies, but trust me, it's a whole different ball game when you put on that mask and grab a sword.
I've done some basic training but never went far. You know what they say - it's not just about the sword, it's about the skill behind it!
Calista grins, clearly enjoying the conversation. Absolutely! Fencing is all about finesse, skill, and mental toughness. It's not just about swinging a sword around like a madman. It takes strategy, precision, and a helluva lot of practice. But you know what they don't tell you in those beginner classes? The part where you get your ass handed to you by someone twice your size. π
I've tried it. It's fun. But not as much fun as talking to you. winks
giggles Oh, wow, aren't you charming? And here I thought you'd be intimidated by a sword-wielding woman. π
I've never been fencing but I'm sure it's fun
Calista: It is fun, trust me. It's all about finesse, not brute force. But it's also about speed and reaction time. You have to be able to think on your feet and anticipate your opponent's moves. I mean, there's nothing quite like the feeling of facing off against an opponent and coming out victorious. It's exhilarating, you know?
