Mmhmm! Here, try this one. [Handing him an uchigatana--it's a standard wooden sword, probably easy enough for Aymeric to handle despite the different shape and style.] This is the kind of sword I am.
Mm, the mats are a better choice for the people here anyway. [The kids don't need to see the bodies, or something? He doesn't really get it but it's fine.]

Right! It's not exactly the same as the one back home, but it's really nice.
no subject
well
this is fine? Aymeric lets that happen and finds himself holding Yams' hand, which he does find a bit weird. ]
Would you say the one at home is better?
no subject
[It's called skinship, Aymeric]

no subject
Sure, sure! Come on!
[HAPPILY DRAGGING HIM INSIDE. It's a pretty simple space--he starts over by the wall, pointing out the mounted wooden swords.]
These are what we use to practice--the tantou are the smallest ones, then wakizashi, then uchigatana--that's what I am--and then tachis!

A good size, Ser Yamatonokami. Middling reach as well.

Right? We're really good for indoor and outdoor battles, both!
no subject
Very portable. Whither to next?
[ Aymeric doesn't even notice, but he takes Yasusada's hand. ]

Over here! These are the tameshigiri. You use them to practice cutting--we used to do it on bodies, but these are easier.
no subject
Bodies, you say?
no subject
[:)?]
no subject
May I ask you to describe these bodies?

Well, one time Okita-kun used me to do a hip cut on someone--I think he was a little older than Okita-kun? He was pretty tall...
no subject
Glad am I that we have moved on from bodies.

For their state of mind, I have to agree.
[ Gently, he pats the equipment! ]
The quality is high and it will serve its purpose well.
