Just try to avoid getting stabbed while you're training. I want to see you go against Zoro one of these days, and you can't do that wounded.

[holyposition]

The training ones are blunt. I've got a lot of bruises but no stabs.

[kobes]

Have you? That's a good sign. Bruises mean your teacher's actually trying.

[holyposition]

Of course he is, I doubt he's ever NOT taken something completely seriously in his life.

[kobes]

I think you're right about that. He's too young to be so serious.

[holyposition]

He hasn't had a lot of opportunity to be anything else.

[kobes]

I've noticed. It makes me sort of sad.

He's been abrasive, but. He's Alicent's son. He can't be all that bad, right?
And even if he weren't, everyone deserves a second chance.

[holyposition]

Me too. I think I can help, but he's stubborn.

I don't know. If half the things he's told me about his older brother are true, he's an animal.

[kobes]

Well, he's fortunate to have you keeping an eye on him.

He hasn't mentioned much to me, yet. Someone to watch out for?

[holyposition]

Yeah. King Aegon. He sounds like a very unpleasant person.

[kobes]

Right, Alicent's oldest. He must take after his father.

[There's someone who Koby might break his "violence is never the answer" rule for.]

[holyposition]

He sounded more ineffective than he was cruel.

[kobes]

Alicent had three children before she was my age. If that isn't cruelty, I don't know what is.

[holyposition]

I know. It's terrible, obviously, and I won't defend that man for a second, but the blame for that is largely with her father.

[kobes]

I can blame them both. Her father started it, her husband perpetuated it. Either way, they're both dangerous.

[holyposition]

Guess we're lucky this place doesn't bring in a lot of wrinkled old guys.

[kobes]

A few wrinkles are okay. They add character.

[holyposition]

if Alicent’s father shows up, I’ll send him your way. 🤢

[kobes]

That's the most hurtful thing you've ever said to me.

[holyposition]

I'm sorry! That's gross. I take it back ☹️

[kobes]

I told you about Luffy's grandpa ONE TIME and you never let me forget about it.

[holyposition]

I like older men too but not so old they can't

Well.

You know.

[kobes]

That isn't a problem for anyone from my world. Haki.

[Probably not how haki works, Koby.]

[holyposition]

I thought haki was about...auras and energy.

[kobes]

Well, yes, that, but also about will and determination and things like that. That's how you control it, with your willpower. If you have enough willpower, you don't have to worry about not being able to perform.
