[realmenknitplushies]

Who: Kanji and anyone who runs into him!
What: Training time for Kanji and his duo
When: Sometime after the fourth wall business
Where: Around Traverse Town, ending at the Fourth District
Warnings: Nothing so much?

Kanji wasn't much of a magic user. Okay, so perhaps he'd had to step into that position during the skirmishes with Nightmare Moon, but he'd never had the power to keep it going, never had the force behind his attacks some did. It was his own strength that he trusted most, and it was that that he wanted to work on, right now.

With his Dream Eaters by his side, he was working his way around the town, checking out the usual spots for Nightmares to be found; Plum and Jet (as the Meowjesty had come to be known) taking care of business with their usual speed, and with various treats being thrown around at the end of it all... they deserved it.

In the end, he could be found in the square at the bottom of the hill in the Fourth District. Around the place, some of the barrels and crates that seemed to be omnipresent, piled up. (And a few with Nightmares' - or even Nightmare Moon's - face drawn on them.) While the Spirits were playing on the steps - time for a bit of target practice.
With his typical yelling, he rushed the barrels, swinging his shield around viciously - but not with any regard for what it was supposed to be, not with any finesse, just another blunt instrument to be wielded. How long before any of his targets broke under the onslaught? Not the most elegant training method, but ...
...well, he'd make do.

"I'll be sure to do my best, then."

And he does know what he's doing besides, even if he's never really taken on anything much like an apprentice. But he'll manage one way or another, of that he's reasonable certain. Even if it might just as much a learning experience for him as it would be for Kanji.

"Thanks. ...I will too."

He's not entirely used to playing the good student either. But this isn't something he'll be able to play around with, he knows.

[earthshatter]

Very much not something he can play around with. Using a weapon improperly is just as bad as not having one in the first place, and although Aeleus is willing to allow some leeway, there are certain things Kanji may find that he's not willing to budge on. But for now, those can wait. Especially since he isn't even certain that this will end up with him taking on something like a student.

Instead, he simply nods. There's nothing else he can really think to say, and so he figures that silence will do.

[realmenknitplushies]

Silence might do for a bit, but soon enough:

"Look, uh. How about I see how I get on with this thing for now, yeah? I won't try anythin' big. I'll just see if I can get used to the feel of it."

[earthshatter]

Aeleus nods at the comment. It seems a sensible enough thing and it'll get him a little more familiar with the weapon besides.

"Of course. And if you need me, I shouldn't be far away."

[realmenknitplushies]

"Alright. Thanks, man - uh, wait, did I catch your name?" he asks, scratching his head with a free hand.

[earthshatter]

Ah, yes. That would certainly tend to help, especially in the long run.

"My apologies. It's Aeleus."

[realmenknitplushies]

"Cool." He nods in reply. "Mine's Kanji."
