17th Combo - [Video]

There! I-

[Locked from Eridan]

-did it! Good. That'll keep him from listening in on this. Thanks, Genis. I owe you one.

[Yup, somebody begged his best friend to show him how to lock. That done, he turns his attention on the Dreamberry - and Somarium in general by extension. His expression is very serious, and perhaps a little chagrined.]

Hey, everyone. I... kind of need some help. I need to get stronger, so I need to train, but I also need help learning how to fight magic users. [He makes a face.] Especially magic users that can fly.

[No, he's not talking about anyone in specific. What makes you think that?]

Does anyone want to spar? Or have any advice?

So why choose to bring it up right now?

[redcladidealist]

Because now I'm healed enough that I can practice. I couldn't when I had broken ribs.

Did Eridan attack you instead?

...Rather, did you attack him? [Oh boys, always prancing around being all macho.]

[redcladidealist]

H-hey, I had good reason to attack him! I told you he was threatening my friend!

[That's a flustered, defensive yes, Jade. He did attack Eridan.]

[uncute-one.livejournal.com]

[Jade finds that he always has a greater urge to facepalm when faced with Lloyd.]

Be that as it may, the best way to respond to a death threat is certainly not to make Eridan even more angry. Honestly. And you didn't think to make sure you can win before challenging him to a duel, or whatever it is that boys do to defend the honour of their beloved damsel?

[redcladidealist]

[Yeah, Lloyd's pretty good at making people want to do that.

A bit of embarrassed red begins to flush his cheeks. Because Jade... Jade has a point. And he's saying it in a way that's making Lloyd feel like an idiot. Not that he won't try to continue to defend himself.]

It wasn't her honor, it was her life. I didn't know how much time I had! What if he attacked her as soon as I left?
