[ blandly. he is apparently not going to commit to explaining the classpect shit any further? than he already did? which was not at all. he's pretty sure dirk doesn't know anything about the game, yet, but dave isn't going to ask.
dave's aware this is actually maybe a bad idea. he doesn't think dirk will remember attacking him at all, but asking someone to attack him with that sword is tempting fate.
he doesn't have anything else for dirk to use, though, and it's not like it matters much in the long run at this point. dave's still weirdly wired, but he's smooth when he brinds caeldfwch up to block. ]
You're too tense. You gotta loosen up. [ his voice goes focused and calm, and he takes his own advice to the extent he can; the nerves are filtered back and shoved down and he focuses on the task at hand. ] That's too slow and you need to aim it more. Weak points, you should know 'em. If not, follow along.
[ he's going to stay WAY THE FUCK AWAY from any blow towards dirk's neck, but dave will demonstrate other strikes, patient and stubbornly determined. unlike dirk, he doesn't frown when he makes himself attack, and he doesn't go as slow; still, he's clearly holding his speed in check to at least some degree. ]
