He did. In Jeopardy.

I can adjust my schedule for whatever I need, and whatever you can match. I'm aiming for competency, how often would you suggest?

[helpdesk_hero]

Huh, I didn't know that.

Competency? Competency in a fight is your body acting for you a lot of the time. That would be something I'd want you doing about four times a week. If not more.

[ ughhhh this is gonna SUCK ]

Fine. How much time should I set aside for each day's work?

[helpdesk_hero]

One hour for the first week or two. Two after that. We need to build up your stamina.

And Dee? Please don't hate me.

[besainted]

I take it that means you won't be going easy on a beginner.

[helpdesk_hero]

I go as easy as the beginner needs. But training isn't easy, Damian. I'll start with some low level self-defense stuff.

We're also going to use some knowledge absorption as part of this. Doing things enough like that will train your muscles as well.

[besainted]

As long as I don't need to rely on anything that can be turned off to defend myself.

[helpdesk_hero]

It's more... for the feel of it. Your body needs to know how to move. And how that movement feels.

[besainted]

I know, I get it.

[ Skating was a little like that — even as it began to wore off, he could still remember some of the motions and how it was supposed to feel. He opts not to add anything about skating, though. ]

And don't worry about me hating you. I'm from a family of tough love.

[helpdesk_hero]

[Probably for the best, don't want to make David depressed.]

I don't take any pity in this field. Teaching someone to fight is teaching them to survive.

[besainted]

That's what I'm counting on.

Thanks.

[helpdesk_hero]

Thank me after your first session.
