[itsuki does look a little embarrassed, maybe it's because he's not used to asking people to teach him things. usually he's the one in charge? (he thinks he's a top)
but it has been on his mind since the trial, and he figures that if he's going to ask anyone... it should be Vax, because Estinien and November are scary.]
I figure I should learn something that might give me a running chance? Like, I thought I was pretty okay at fighting already, but it's definitely not even close to what guys like Bu-kun and Estinien can do.
[ hmmm. well. he taps his fingers against the outside of his beer, thoughtful. ]
... Sure, yeah. 's not easy, though. Throwing them's a lot harder than just stabbing something with it. You know that, yeah?
But, if you're willing to put in the work, you can pick it up. And don't compare yourself too much to those two - I don't know what the fuck Estinien's deal is, but Bu is a literal sword.
[hilariously Itsuki stands there and blinks rapidly a few times, his reaction time is that slow??? Vax is already standing there with his fist raised and Itsuki's like hello point A?? point B???]
Alright, I did say as fast as possible, but... [that was fast fast] I think I might have better luck with hiding.

I'm glad you said that. It's actually kind of related.
[he mimes.... throwing something... it's a bad mime, terrible posture.]
You mentioned you were good at throwing stuff, so I wanted to ask if you could teach me.

he's sort of surprised, and absolutely does not laugh at his absolutely terrible mime but he definitely looks amused. ]
Gonna have to be a bit more specific than that. Throwing weapons?

My goal's more realistic. Maybe learn how to throw something hard enough as a distraction, and then run away as fast as possible?
That should be achievable for a normal guy like me, right?

[ be nice!! but: ] Sure. We can do that. I can teach you how to hide well, too. 's the trick if you're not the biggest guy in the world.
[ he sets his beer down, leaning back against the wall for a moment. ] Wait for your chance. [ wait... wait...
and then he steps out, quickly, darting up into itsuki's space and raises a hand like he's gonna pop him - but he stops, there. ] Take it.
Then get back and hide again.
