His other hand rested his training sword on his shoulder, and he prepared to start critiqueing his younger brother, only for Serenity to beat him to it. Well, it wasn't as if anything he was going to say was different from what she was telling him right this moment. Once she finished, Renar simply shrugged at Elias, a lopsided grin on his face. [color=ff5000][b]"Well, she saved me a good bit of trouble there. I've little more to add beside that. You've still improved since last year, though. Sir Klein's teaching you something, at least."[/b][/color] Elias nodded, paying thorough attention to Serenity's critique before he responded, handing his wooden sword off to his elder brother as he did so. [b]"I'll endeavour to keep all that in mind, Dame Serenity."[/b] He bowed his head briefly before responding to her question. [b]"As for cross-training, Sir Klein has me working on all of the knightly weapons in turn. I've shown the best results with a sword, though."[/b] [color=ff5000][b]"We can go over this later, brother."[/b][/color] Renar set the training weapons back onto the rack, glancing back. [color=ff5000][b]"The sun will be setting soon, and we've dinner and beer to look forward to. Apologies, Dame Serenity."[/b][/color] A brief shrug. [color=ff5000][b]"As it turns out, one can tire of gourmet dinners at times."[/b][/color] [@ERode]
