I fear that I cannot answer, but I will endeavour to do so later, if I can.

Tis no trouble, Swift, I promise. It's nice to have young ones in the house. [ He teases lightly ]

Mm, for bot of your sakes, I think. But I will, I suppose, see if there might be another way to teach him. If violence is what he knows... perhaps some self-discipline might help.

I suppose protesting wouldn't change your opinion.

It isn't his fault. He doesn't mean to. I'm not sure how well he'd respond to more violence, but if you think you have an idea, by all means try. I've run out of them.

Mm. I don't know if it will work, but it helped Caranthir, long ago. Physical exertion, that is. I'll take him out to the training fields.

[ A soft, hollow laugh ] He's been wary of me ever since he visited the house. I suppose I might as well see if I can leverage that. Get him some sword training, while we're at it.

It may. I apologize in advance for his stubbornness.

[Sigh]

Perhaps I haven't done my own job, either. He shouldn't be an ass and I should be able to keep him from being one.

His stubborness is not on you - that is entirely his responsibility. We shall see. And you are his beloved, not his mother! He really is old enough to be managing such things on his own back. But we will see if a few rounds on the training fields will help that.

I know, but I'm supposed to be able to keep a leash on him.

I hope it will help. I'll see what I can do to pull myself together as well.

Again, you are not his mother!

[ A pause ]

I can teach you too, if you want. Or I can ask Fingon or Maedhros or Curufin?

Somehar has to be. It's clear he's not behaving himself.

I...I would appreciate that. Thank you.

Not you, I think! Tis a cruel thing to ask of a lover.

I would not offer if I did not mean it! I will bring Seel down early. Come by later - although I won't go easy on you!

I don't have much of a choice.

I'd appreciate that. If nothing else, it will give me something to focus on. I know better than to expect easy, at least.

Then I will set some time aside for you as well. [ He promises ]

Is there a style you favor?

No. I've not really had the time for very formal training.

I'll let you try a few things then, and you can see what you might like. I was a dual-wielder myself for a while, although both Maedhros and Curufin favor single blades.

Thank you. I just hope you'll be patient with me.

[ He laughs softly ]

I am a harsh taskmaster, but not cruel. You will be sore, Swift - but I promise, I won't ask more than you can give.

I don't mind sore. And I appreciate your help. Again.

You're welcome, Swift. I will see you soon!

And you.
