( open ) practice makes perfect
Who: Jim Kirk & YOU!
What: Jim wants to learn how to wield a sword (and some other weapons)
When: Now-ish
Where: Temjask arena
Rating: PG-13 for possible mild violence, fighting and minor injuries
While not unfamiliar with using weapons, it's fair to say that Jim's well out of his depth here. Barring the use of magic, there's nothing even remotely resembling energy weapons, and even projectile weapons are nonexistent. He's checked out what's on offer but some of them he doesn't even recognize, and those that he does...
Well, he can't really remember ever holding a sword in his life, for instance. But he's definitely curious. He goes to the arena to train, keep his body in shape and possibly look for someone willing to spar with him, and after he's worked up some sweat, he heads out to where all those weapons are on display, looking over the selection with interest.
He picks up a sword at one point, a smaller and lighter-looking one, but not knowing what to do with it, he'll put it back down unless someone approaches or cuts in. He also walks around the training grounds, watching others use those same weapons, admiring from a safe distance at how skilled they are.
A more elaborate or showy move will no doubt get an impressed sound from him, and he tips his head at them. "That was brilliant. You're really good."
Not that he'd know the first thing, it just looked impressive.

Instead of answers straight away, he pulls Jim into a hug, mindful not to squish Sandy while doing so. ]Thanks man, I really needed to hear that.
He takes a step back after that, a goofy smile still on his face. Sorry about getting all sappy on you, I'm sure you came here to train and not to be roped into my love life. I should leave you too it.
no subject
Not at all. You can talk to me about anything, anytime. Yes, including your love life. You can repay the favor if the opportunity ever presents itself.
[ That is, if Jim ever finds anyone special while he's here... for now he says his goodbyes to Peter, letting him go on his way while he goes back to his practice. ]
no subject
Likewise, Jim. I'm always here if you need anything, my friend. [ Peter smiles and reaches out to gather Sandy in his hands before saying good bye as well. He's got a wedding proposal to plan. ]
