[@Damiann47] [hr] Gareth chuckled at Silvia's rhetorical inquisition, simply shrugging off the rejection to her past without pressing further. His wistful countenance aligning with the twirls of his wrist as he worked out the strain in his arm. His smile turned playful as he looked towards the sky, [color=00cc22]"I think they should be able to fight until the last straw, I think I would feel unsatisfied if a fight was prematurely decided even if it was my win. As for Artura, I think there's a reason she's our Master, my initial impression of her is that of a shrewdness that I lack."[/color] There was a moment of pause as Gareth reviewed the conversation in his mind, followed by a sudden amused laugh as he faced the fighter looking up at him, [color=00cc22]"I am also extremely excited to stretch out my muscles a little bit too."[/color] Leaning forward so that his elbows rested on his knees, Gareth watched the fight with his chin resting on his forearms, his eyes focusing on what he could learn, specifically, Kaito's swordplay. Eventually, he spoke without turning his head towards Silvia, [color=00cc22]"If Kaito teaches me swordplay, and you teach me unarmed combat, wouldn't I just be too powerful?"[/color] The question was posed more as a joke but it almost seemed as if Gareth was genuinely worrying about it.
