For those who are your approximate height and weight, it is of greater benefit to learn jลซhล, as it relies more on redirection of your opponent's force. However, your strength is disparate to most — so the question is more, do you wish to learn to be a more effective fighter when you have access to your current state, or do you wish to learn how to defend yourself if such a thing is inaccessible or diminished as a mission parameter?
๏ผ which isn't something he can decide on her behalf — it's more about what she needs for herself. ๏ผ
ใ gwen considers it a moment, turning the question over to the symbiote too. whatever happens to her, they both have to deal with the consequences. as it so happens, they are both in agreement. ใ
Weโll go with the soft method.
ใ her strength is incredible. but she needs to be able to defend herself when her powers are limited. as itachi himself pointed out, she has to look after two. more, she may be able to use it to compensate for when spider-sense starts acting up. ใ
๏ผ he accepts that with a faint nod, and then — ๏ผ
How much time are you willing to dedicate to practice? I can focus either more on the fundamentals — building up foundational skills that will be of benefit to your later techniques. Or, if you feel you would rather learn combat straightaway, I can ensure you have adequate knowledge and understanding of what is of immediate importance, with the caveat it means you will eventually reach a point where you are unable to progress in skill.
๏ผ she is not a shinobi, and he is not going to approach her in the same ways as if he is teaching sasuke to throw shuriken. she's plenty old enough to decide what is of greatest benefit for her, and in an informal training scenario it is more the job of the instructor to be flexible rather than the job of the student. ๏ผ
๏ผ We Don't Talk About LeonardTM so he's moving right along past that — ๏ผ
Very well. I am in the training room every day at 0400 — you may join me for that, if you would like, or we can set a specific time later in the day depending on your schedule.
๏ผ look, he knows that gwen just hasn't slept yet. he's an asshole, but he's not (usually) (deliberately) an asshole (in that way). ๏ผ
๏ผ local morning person wishes you an ounce of luck!! ๏ผ
Give me a day to devise a lesson plan. It's been a very long time since I taught anyone from the ground up.
๏ผ it isn't as though she doesn't know how to fight, but he's going to have to change how she approaches it as a whole. discerning that approach will take him time, and while he's not too tired out by the clone's sparring match to begin now, it will be better to take a step back and approach it logically rather than by instinct alone — beginning today or the next matters very little in the grand scheme of things. ๏ผ
Fair enough. I'm going to try to get another nap in. ใ nearly at the door, she waves at the hammock. ใ Ignore that. It'll disintegrate in, like, an hour.

The only person who would notice I'm busy, or complain about it, is Wei Wuxian. ใ a little pause. ใ Dr. McCoy too, I guess.
ใ who also told her to stay far away from itachi. oops. ใ

ใ not like her sleep schedule has ever made sense. it'll be like being back in new york except no sirens this time.
