Um... I want to ask anybody who knows how to fight...

How do you pick a weapon? I mean... how do you know what suits you best? Do you try them until you figure it out, or do you let someone pick for you? And what if you-

...nevermind...


[Simon's going to be chilling out around the stairs at the entrance of community building 7, a sheathed sword tucked against his shoulder, holding an unsealed envelope and gazing at either it or the snow. He's bundled up for the cold, at least, but he doesn't seem bothered by it for once.

Every now and then he'll pull out the letter inside the envelope, read it, and cup his hands around the Core Drill at his neck, focused and intense. Nothing seems to happen though, so he'll quickly give up and go back to whatever he was doing before. As always, Boota is with him, though he's probably buried in the snow by the stairs or wandering around a bit.

Bother him?]

[...Belatedly Simon realizes he didn't think this through. At all. Probably should have filtered this or something :|]

No, no! It's okay! I'm sorry, I didn't mean to question you, I just...

[He's not sure yet, fff.]

[Sigh. How to explain this as gently and unscarily as possibly?]

I have learned to use many weapons. All of them have, in some way, made me a better swordsman. If you would like to try something else, perhaps I could teach you... or perhaps there is someone else.

I would not recommend you quit with the sword, even if you have no aptitude for it. It is good to learn many things, even those we are not good at.

[Simon's quiet for a bit, pondering his words carefully. Something new, huh... maybe he doesn't have to just give up on swordsmanship, either way.]

Um... can I ask a favour of you, instead...?

I can make no promises; but you may ask.

Can a hole be made in the hilt... for a drill? A small one, I mean...

[He's had this theory forming for a while now, and it's worth considering at least.]
chaincutter: (uh.)

[That's kind of a weird request. He needs a few moments to consider it. Maybe in the pommel... or... as the pommel? But Sigmund's not that good of a smith, and that would be pushing at the edge of his abilities. Hm.]

I would need to see the drill.

I can bring it to you, if you want... oh, and it's also- [He fishes around beneath his jacket, pulling out the small Core Drill on the string from around his neck.] It's like this.
