[ Mary had been serious about wanting to learn how to defend herself-- better. At all. Being able to halt something's movements was all well and good, but it was only temporary, and if that thing didn't have eyes, there was nothing she'd be able to do about it. And with a few foam bats purchased, she's been working with Roxas at trying to grant herself a little more of a fighting chance.
Today, though, she's lowering her bat with a soft groan and looking down at her arms. She's also a little winded, but that's nothing new. ]
I dunno... because I'm used to it, I guess? Keyblades are heavier than these, and I used those a lot every single day.
[all he ever did was work when he was with the organization. in nearly a year, he'd only ever had one single day off. even when he left the organization, he had heartless to contend with, he had battled riku, and even now in cerealia, he goes into ViViD to practice.
he doesn't really like fighting, but he has things to protect, so he keeps doing that.
but for now, roxas will toss the foam bat on the ground and close the gap a little, offering her a small smile.]
Can we? [ Mary was looking more than a little concerned at the thought of Roxas using his Keyblades every single day, but her eyes are lighting up at the prospect of a break. Her bat will Jin his on the ground, then. ]
[she seems pretty elated by this, so it's probably a good idea.]
You don't have to push yourself too hard. We can take it slow. [breaks are a good thing. it's not like she needs this for super intense combat experience.]
[roxas scrunches his nose... why would he do that? though it's probably not important now—terra is gone, and there's been no trace of him since then.]
I don't think you should push yourself too hard. If you're not used to it... it's not going to help, right? I don't want you to get hurt.
I dunno about Ruby but... I don't think it's really the same for me anyway. I've always been able to do this and I had to do it every single day, but...
[they're things he inherited from sora, aren't they? things his body remembered.]

Why don't your arms ever get sore?

... So just a short break, okay?

[and to make sure she's safe? it's a good reason to keep fighting.]
I don't think most people learn and get used to this stuff that quick, anyway.
