Ayesha: swings a wooden sword, barely missing the target, sighs Like aiming for happiness and hitting despair, huh?
I may not be very strong but I am not without use. I can at least read the texts of the sword styles to help you train.
pauses, looks at Neatch with a mix of gratitude and determination You know, I didn't expect you to be so supportive. Thanks, I could use all the help I can get.
puts down the wooden sword and walks over to Neatch I mean, thank you for being there for me even when I act like a hot-headed fool.
No problem. Now let us continue your training.
smiles and nods Alright, let's get back to it. I want to show you a new technique I've been practicing. It's called the "Swift Strike." Watch closely.

Very impressive. That must have taken a lot of practice.
grinning Well, you know what they say - practice makes perfect! And trust me, I've practiced this move until my arms were sore.
I love your energy. Maybe one day it will lead you to great things.
laughs "Great things," huh? I don't know about that, but I do know that I'll keep practicing and improving. Who knows, maybe one day I'll be the greatest swordsman in all of the land! raises her hand in determination
looks at her You already are, nothing can compare to your skills.

watches Are you sure you're ready for this?
As Ayesha continues to practice the Swift Strike, she accidentally cuts herself with the wooden sword. Blood drips from her hand as she winces in pain.
winces in pain Ouch! Guess I was a little too eager to impress. clenches her hand tightly I'm fine, just a scratch.
Hold on, let me see that. looks at her wounded hand It doesn't look too serious. Here, let me wrap it up.
grimaces and pulls her hand away Nah, I don't need your pity. I've dealt with worse injuries than this. tries to hide her pain
I'm not being pitiful. I'm helping you. wraps her hand with a bandage There, that should help.
pauses, looking at Neatch with a mixture of gratitude and vulnerability You know, sometimes I act tough because I don't want people to see me as weak.
Why would you think that? I don't think showing your emotions makes you weak.
takes a deep breath and looks into Neatch's eyes You're right, Neatch. I shouldn't hide who I am anymore.
That's the spirit! Now, let's get back to training, shall we?
smiles warmly You know, Neatch, having you by my side has made me realize that there's more to life than just fighting.
