//added him to the sky so getting him set up now

[His ears keep twitching at the touch.]

Please, may I ask you cease such action. It feels unbecoming of our stations.

[Her eyes light up.]
So this is the sensory data associated with fluff…! So soft…

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

That would explain much. In coming to know her, I can see how your actions can cause such to one not prepared.

[He takes his spare pair and places it on one of his pockets. The second comment catches his attention.]

Ryne?

[Thancred Waters @RoguishGunblade]

I don’t. But I do enjoy taking Levviana’s glasses from her because of how flustered it makes her.
[He smiles softly and hands him the glasses back.]
Don’t let her catch me saying this but I’m glad at how close she and Ryne are.

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

…You seem to be rather attached to them.

[He stares for a solid minute before he speaks. Though his mood is clear if you were observant enough to watch his tail.]

Do you, perchance, need your own pair to see?

[Thancred Waters @RoguishGunblade]

I don’t know either… I guess that some habits die hard.
[He holds them out to Koana. But then quickly pulls them back before the Dawnservant can take them back.]

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

…I see that is where that particular missing pair went.

[He sighs]

I do not understand what you had to gain by taking them.

[Thancred Waters @RoguishGunblade]

[Thancred fishes something out of his pocket.]
Wait… whose glasses are these—wait, are these Koana’s?! How did I even end up with them?!
[He doesn’t remember, but he pickpocketed them.]

Congrats on MCH PVP LB in MSQ, Koana

Have you ever heard of Marksman’s spite

@DrgDelivery I would rather use such funds to assist in supporting my people than something trivial

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

I cannot see like this.

@scionprotector Your chosen combat style has intrigued me, I admit. It is far from practical in someone such as myself. Yet to you, it is second nature.

[He thinks over the second comment.]

If it intrigues you so, perhaps I can show you a more proper demonstration for learning.

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

[Target practice. He needs to stay sharp.]

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

@GUNSANDROUSE These are entirely separate topics…

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

@scionprotector That is because I must train my aim and my reflexes with my tools. I find it easier to take time to go through a variety of training exercises.

[He smiles.]

It’s a difference in style. all, you use the momentum of your shots power the swing of your blade. To deadly results.

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

@scionprotector …I was not aware anyone was watching.

[He sighed, it only made sense for Thancred to watch him, given the other’s specialty.]

Merely going over my earlier practice from the morning. It was not good enough.

Yet, it feels there is more you want to say than just that.

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

@scionprotector [Koana did not notice his companion. Even if he did he was too focuses on his practice.

It was calculated, planned, each pull of the trigger and tool used. It had to be perfect. It was almost second nature.

Despite this, after one shot, he lowered his firearm.]

Not good enough

[▻| Koana, Vow of Reason @2ndPromise]

@xandeseulogy It is a matter of perspective, Lamaty’i often grows fond of other without much effort, even if the encounter was brief.

From the tales Thancred and Urianger have shared, perhaps the Warrior helf similar views to you.
