She carefully stuck them in her ears, and the sound of Roy sharpening his spear immediately disappeared. She sighed with relief. Jenny could hear herself think again. “Thank you so much!” Not knowing what else to do, she gently bumped Edgar with her shoulder, imitating what he had done before. Quote I love it too! It’s so fun writing someone with even less social skills than me “You’re welcome,” he said, unsure if she could hear him. She might be able too, his carvings tended to allow stuff like that, little things he wanted them to be able to do. A little ability from his dad, he assumed. He laughed, smiling truly and joyfully. This was nice. 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Unknowingly, he was drawn to Roy. He looked at the spear that he was sharpening as he was walking. "Does that spear have any magical properties?" he asks, trying to sound inquisitive. "And if so, how do they work?" he adds as well, lobbing the questions at the son of dionysus 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

This was nice. Edgar’s voice was oddly clear among the other muffled sounds. That was unexpected, but rather nice. Perhaps they were magic earplugs. He was laughing, so maybe the bump thing was the correct response. She’d have to remember that. Jenny laughed a little too. She noticed Aaron trying to speak with Roy and took one earplug out. Hopefully she could break up any arguments they had. Two overly confident personalities like that could clash very easily and spectacularly. @Scars of Hathsin @RoyalBeeMage Edited February 19 by Lunamor 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She would help him see clearer if they were getting in the way. “Hopefully they’re not too much trouble, I don’t want another fight.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hoped that walking wouldn’t aggravate them too much. ”I brought some ambrosia if you’d like to have a bit. It could potentially help to accelerate your healing some more.” She started tossing Sword, making it do flips before she caught it. That was a bit of a challenge to do while moving, but it was fun.

After a few more throws, however, it nearly slipped out of her hand, so she went back to her former tossing height. She considered digging another dagger out of her pack so she could toss two at once, but decided that it wasn’t a great idea to experiment with that while on a quest. Jenny was rather proud of her restraint. ”If you ever need a dagger for whittling and stuff, I have a few extras you could borrow.” 0 Quote Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

She hadn’t brought her favorite ones on this trip in case she needed to abandon them. She flipped it once, testing its balance, then put it away and grabbed a different one. Jenny wanted to ensure that Edgar’s lesson would be as straightforward as possible, and balanced knives were best for beginners. She held it out for Edgar, handle facing him.

He took it, and was immediately tempted to try throwing it up like she had. He didn’t, however, waiting for her to tell him how to do it. He could tell it was a well balanced blade, right he’d never really had anything else, the Gift was very good at balancing weapons.

It’s got the lowest chance of accidentally slicing yourself.” Jenny pointed to a faint white scar on her palm. ”I learned that lesson the hard way. Wrap your four fingers around and under the handle, and rest your thumb on top. Hold it like you would a hammer, essentially.” She demonstrated the grip with Sword. Jenny preferred a pinch grip on the blade, but had plenty of practice with other methods.

The tricks I like to do are more difficult than you’d think, so you have to be very familiar with the simple stuff first.” Jenny resisted the urge to demonstrate another vertical toss. “To set up a throw, you need the proper stance. Shift your weight completely onto your dominant leg and rest your non-dominant leg in front of you. Then, hold your dominant arm up perpendicular to the ground and bend your elbow until the knife is beside your head.” She demonstrated, moving slowly so Edgar could track her movements.
