Canon is Dog Days

Hm? That's not really amusing, you know? At least you decided to stop slacking and gave me icons, good. I should probably chastise you about using your time in things less important than tests and responsibilities, but ultimately is your call, isn't it? I will gladly stare at your direction in a disapproving way for now, so I hope you appreciate the gesture.

Well, if that is all you needed me for- of course it isn't, is it now? By the time you get some free time to fool around I'm sure you will have me stuck somewhere for sure. If you are going to go through that then, I have two requests. The first is pretty obvious and I don't think you out of everyone needs to hear it out loud.

The second are strong opponents. I ought to have some fun, after all.

Wow, all of your icons look so amazing! [ Can she just see the sparkly eyes and energetic tag wagging? ] Um, but why would you want to go somewhere you have to fight? Don't you think it'd be a nice vacation to not have to do any of that?

[grandvert]

She only made ten though. I guess she will finish later? She better does. [Her own tail lashes out. If Milhi approves everything is fine.]

Why? Because I would get bored, of course! I can stay calm without a good fight for only so long. That doesn't exclude the chances of a vacation though.

You can't really expect muns to devote all their time to work and schooling. If your mun is anything like mine, she'd burn herself out. It's better to live up to our own standards ourselves and let them do what they're capable of.

So, you like to spar, huh?

[grandvert]

I know, I know, but there is a thing called timing. She lacks that quite a bit.

But of course, you don't even need to ask something like that.

[blue_flames]

You mean you think she should have spent that specific time doing something else, then?

I've found it never hurts to ask. I'm something of a fighter myself, which was all the more reason. A person can never have too many sparring partners, right?

[grandvert]

Yes! But now is past the time to worry about that.

Ah, then color me interested. If you ever want to cross blades, it would be my honor.

[blue_flames]

...Yeah. It looks like that was over twelve hours ago.

Same here. I'm always ready to hone my blade.

[grandvert]

At any rate, it didn't go that bad. It could have gone better.

We shall cross blades sooner or later then.

[blue_flames]

There isn't much that can't go better. I've never seen something done that was completely perfect, and I don't think anything like that exists. There's always room to get better.

Good. I look forward to it.

[grandvert]

I concur. Still, shouldn't we aim for the very best?

As I do.

[blue_flames]

Of course. What I said wasn't meant to be an excuse, just a fact. There's no reason to not strive to be as good as you possibly can.
