[IT'S FINE IT'S FINE IT'S FINE THEY CAN MAKE IT WORK they can have a nice long fight YIPPIE!! Lucas has turbo stamina so they can just go for a couple of hours. Good work team.]
[THEIR MUTUAL TURBO STAMINA!!!! I feel like Lucas probably technically has more even though Kanda practices for eight fucking hours a day?? HATEFUL. It's fine though--either way, he won't drag Lucas through eight hours of sparring, so they're saved.
Once they're finished, he's quiet for a little while--but eventually:]
[Kanda's schedule is so stupid it exhausts me daily.]
Wasn't your island isolated or something?
[
Actually damn how old was this guy's dad when he had Lucas if everybody dies at 23. Kanda never thought about it too hard but he's realizing now that that's wild]
[Ask and find out........ye of stupid schedule...]
It is, yes. A long time ago, a drifter ended up on our island from a far-off nation... He brought books from another land with him that included physical strength training, which ended up in my family's hands.
[No he doesn't want to know your weird biology lore]
Oh.
[Well, that would explain it.
A nice and friendly person who is good at conversation would ask more questions, like "do you enjoy it" or "what other types of weapons" or literally anything else, but Kanda is fucking USELESS!!!! So even though there is still obvious curiosity in his emotions, he just leaves it at "oh"...
But if Lucas wants to keep talking... he'd listen... not that he's interested or anything.......]
Kanda is so fucking funny though. HE PICKS UP ON THE CURIOSITY SO HE'S LIKE ??? WHEN NOTHING FOLLOWS THE "OH". This man is literally just an unsocialized feral raccoon.]
...Are you... interested in hearing more about it? The book...? Or perhaps the techniques in it?
[HELP HE'S SO FUCKING FUNNY. NOT THE I'VE BEEN CAUGHT EMOTIONS. This man is a leetle baby.]
Oh! [...] Well, that's a shame, really, since I've been looking for someone who might be interested to hear about it. You wouldn't let me burden you even the slightest...?
[HELP STOP BEING LIKE THIS. Also it worked because he is a 9-year-old 35+ year old.]
Thank you very much. I'll begin with the the form training then, if you don't mind?
[im not coming up with the contents of these books but he will indulge kanda in conversing about martial arts forms from the pre-1800s and also various different weapons and weapons forms and such YIPPIE.]

You're trained.

Lucas is already moving to put the halberd back, though, but he glances back toward Kanda at the statement. A little pause, and then:]
My family has trained in foreign techniques for generations. My father taught me from a young age.
[Hilariously their shit is Japanese-style martial arts so maybe Kanda can recognize it.]
