I want to train you in that then. A crossbow won't be able to help you much if the mob manages to reach you, y'know? Sure you can smack it with it but I think knowing how to fight up close would be beneficial too. At least knowing enough to be able to get 'em to back off and give you distance again.

[If a big monster came in close and got one good swipe at Shuichi, that could be it for him if he isn't prepared to defend and fight back...]

Annnnd I want to spar with your crossbow too! That'd give you a moving target that's a little more real to life than these dummies here, and it'll give me practice against long ranged enemies.

[He wants to get into a full range of training for them, it seems. No messing around here.]

I can still shoot it if it's close to me, you know... [That's an option!!! It's not like crossbows can ONLY be used if you're a certain distance away, you should know that better than anyone, Kokichi.] Though I won't say no if you want to teach me something close range.

But, um...if you want to spar with my crossbow, we'll have to see if we can find...some kind of practice bolts for it. [Like...nerf darts or something.] I don't want to actually shoot you with live bolts...

What if you get disarmed?

[There! Even though you agreed, there's another reason to justify it.]

But you wouldn't shoot me, don't worry! The bulk of my Rogue skills still work, so I have evasion, and that lets me dodge one attack flawlessly. We'll go until I have to use it, even if it's the second or third bolt, and then stop for the day! Eventually I'll get better at dodging, and then you'll catch up and get better with your bow. We'll improve together.

[Shuichi still looks hesitant. Apparently the fact that evasion still works isn't as reassuring as Kokichi was hoping. He just...really does not want to accidentally shoot the other boy. But, in the end...]

O-okay. If you're sure...

[Beta nature strikes again!]

[slieght]

I'm positive!

[He grins, then cocks his head curiously.]

We can start with something else though. I won't thrust you into that when you're so nervous.
