Sooo... I've got this katana now.

Except, I have no idea how to use a katana.

At least not in real life, you know.

Does anyone want to teach me?

[ Don't read too much into it, Astarion uses 'darling' the way some people use 'dude.' ]

That's why you keep the sharp and pointy bits away from yourself.

But I take your meaning. I'd suggest purchasing or fashioning a wooden practice sword.

[ Still gonna catalog it as weird. ]

I meant what if someone else has a sword too!?

[sanguinehunger]

[ Fair. ]

I hate to have to break it to you darling, but you're almost as likely to cut yourself if you're not careful.

My own style of combat centers on the element of surprise, so ideally, no one has the opportunity to strike back. But it does happen, and it's difficult to walk away from a contest of blades without bleeding. Just so you're prepared for that eventuality.

I guess I do see how it's possible but I'd imagine it's possible to practice so it's less likely to happen.

That's true enough. Muscles have memory, and all of that. Good luck to you, darling. Try not to lose any fingers.
