"As much as I don't like your tone, I do appreciate it." Cassius stated to Minerva, but he was going to give her a nickname. "I'm going to call you [i]"Emerald"[/i] while you're in that..." Cassius stated as he stood up, but not before planting a kiss on Ritsu's cheek. "Though, I must admit you look lovely, pleasant even. But if your personality was less prickly, I might even dance with you." He raised his hand in a [i]"One moment"[/i] gesture as his index finger was out. Baku chuckled slightly. Cassius opening up to others was a nice change. But he quickly gave Blank a glance. "Boy, why don't you help him with posture at the very least... Jack of Trades, Master of none, but Master of verity... I can see why the Regent would value even... a somewhat weaker person... Strong front, weak insides." Baku thought aloud. "He is going to break a lot of swords." He joked. He then looked to Wylde "Maybe you could do stuff to help them out too?" Baku grinned. Monica chuckled. "Garnet, you trained under Beatrix with a sword, perhaps even you can help with postures and positional strikes... Not doubting the fair knight, but different tools for a person who only uses tools, wouldn't you agree?" Garnet grinned somewhat, it was a girlish one no less where she felt like she'd be helpful. "Alright, I'll show him things he can do... But Perhaps there is a room where there is wide enough space?" "Aye, I'll show you the way when he gets back." Monica stated, only to see moments later Cassius returned with his cane blade. He slowly showed the well maintained blade to Minerva, handing it to her for inspection. From what she could see, it was well cared for, had a moderate weight with the pommel, which means a firm hand was needed, and it showed a value of control with strikes. He slowly took the blade back before placing it in it's sheathe. As Monica stated, she took them to a rather large room, there were many props held in place in the back, but for the most part it was empty, but there were a few seats to the sides, in the inner most area, there was a cage like arena in the center, it was wide, and it certainly was meant for practice and sparing. Knowing your team lets you cover their weaknesses, and let's one flourish from their strengths. Cassius walked into the cage before holding his blade firmly in his right hand, waiting for Minerva to show him the ropes from her perspective. They might have had a hard time together at first, but at least now they could bond over something and leave that behind for a common goal. Garnet however watched from outside as a spectator.
