(You'd note the two swords he carries on his person, of course.)
"Swordplay is all about flicks of the wrist and angles. You do that often enough, you learn to apply it to everything else."
That's certainly true enough. You even learn to apply it to things much less pleasant than skipping rocks over water. Like the precise angle to flick a wrist at a throat to cave it.
Wow. Being home has made him morbid. Or is it this kid, perhaps? There's an air of death about him, a fresh one. Card or Sin-Eater? Either way, he isn't going to ask. He decides to come clean, just because.
"... it might also be because I'm an Obrimos mage? We're bad ones if we don't instinctively know how Forces works." He cringes, because he hates being ungrammatical, and that sure as heck sounded like it. "As in, Forces magic. Y'know..." And he makes lightning dance between his two held-up fingers.
For such a dignified individual with such a distinguished track record and such a responsible position, he really has never outgrown being a show-off. Well, at least he's picking suitably appreciative audiences this time? Maybe?
