[arkitect]

Well, you will have to pardon me for referencing overheard conversations, but... to be direct, I do not believe you were wrong in saying you would be an effective source to learn from.

I have somewhat more interest in that than in asking others, frankly.

[It's just a different experience, dealing with someone who only knows what to expect versus employing something themselves.]

[thereneverwas]

[Intriguing.]

That a fact.

[As much as he hates to engage with the topic, it’s nice to know he has the potential to be useful.]

You’ll be wanting to practice against actual magic negation, then?

[arkitect]

That would be preferred, yes. I know how to fight without the use of magic, that part isn't going to be a problem, but... no explanation of it would be better than experience.

[After a moment, slightly more reluctant:]

It has never exactly been a threat. Not until coming here.

[It's an unpleasant thought, but it's better to take it into account early rather than being surprised when he needs to keep his focus.]

[thereneverwas]

[A sigh. He may get flak for this, but he did, after all, openly offer it.]

Right then. I'm at the sparring pitch most mornings.

[arkitect]

Then I will see about coming by.

Unless, of course, you prefer to make less public arrangements.

[thereneverwas]

[He thinks on it, but--]

Nah. Out in the open.

[The more clandestine the arrangement, the more it'll be seen as trying to keep a secret.]

[arkitect]

Well, if you insist.

[He certainly doesn't sound like he disapproves.]

But I will leave you be for the moment, then.

[and I'll just make a new starter in my log when I am next not driving if you don't do it first, SO.]
