Mmm. That means you don't have to pay us back for us loving you. You aren't a burden.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

But... I cause a lot of worry and trouble. And I don't give anything back for that.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

Worry is still "feelings."

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

And really, worry is a lot more selfish than love, when you come down to it.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

It's not selfish. It comes with caring for others.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

Then there's no reason why Syaoran can't accept those feelings, right?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

And if those feelings are hurting others?

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

... is it hurting you?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...That others would worry?

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

Yes. Because I don't think we mind the hurt of worrying.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

It's not that.

I want to give others something other than 'worry'. They said it helps when I 'try hard' but I don't know what that means.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

It means you're doing the best that you can do, as best you can. Nobody has any right to ask for more than that.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

They never would.

But I don't know what it is that I am supposed to try so hard at.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

I ... I guess I don't know, honestly.

[pause]

Could you teach me how to use a sword?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

You want to learn it?

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

[nods]

Father taught me how a long time ago, but I've forgotten just about all of it.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

I can try, though I don't know if I am a suitable teacher.

It would probably be a good idea to make you a wooden practice sword to start.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

[n-nods]

Swinging around live steel would be a little ...

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

Dangerous. It's also heavy. You would probably want something lighter to start.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

Oh. I hadn't thought of that.

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

If you haven't done that sort of thing in awhile it may be a good idea. And please think of what kind of sword you would like to use.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

There's different kinds...?

[time_andagain.insanejournal.com]

...Yes...

For example, River and Kurogane-san use katana. Claude's sword is a kind of broadsword and the one I use is similar to it, called a jian.

[ghostduster.insanejournal.com]

...

M-maybe you could teach me a little more about swords first.
