[closed] don't call him dr. L

[torpour]

Who: Nehan and his students.
What: It's about time to start being a teacher, which means meeting up with them one by one and conducting their first lessons-- sparring for some, medic training for others. May not be completely nice and productive, due to blood type shenanigans. Thanks, December.
When: Early to mid-December.
Where: Nehan's house for medical studies, and some fields away from people for combat training.

Content Warnings: Physical violence, little bit of beasthood, potential potty mouths, potential squicky conversations, Nehan's personal issues with his disabilities. More TBA when they come up.

"Waiting for the enemy to make the first move, and then striking. Counters and dodges, as I said." Then he waves a hand down at himself, at the way his ribs show through his skin in the cut out parts of his top, exposing scarred and too-pale skin to the air. "I'm too small, and my build is too frail, so I must rely on my speed and agility. Or a gun."

Then he looks up and down the human, ears tilting this way and that. Combining what he can observe with that he remembers of Ryunosuke... well, the man has practiced archery in the past, but he doesn't seem to have the arms or back for it. Maybe he can help improve on that, and even train him on his aim.

"You seem to be more like myself, if a little taller. But you'll do better, eventually."

"Speed and agility."

Or a gun. He supposes that makes sense, no one could really outrun a bullet now can they? Part of Ryunosuke wishes that he could take notes by writing things down but this wasn't the sort of thing you learn by reading. He needed to be an active participant, to learn by doing. Nehan understood his lack of experience, and was teaching him based on skill level (which let's be honest, he has no skill right now), so he needed to focus.

"I'm sure I will." He offers a smile, shaking out his limbs again. "I just need to get the basics down. What should I be doing differently?"

[torpour]

What he should be doing differently... There are so many answers to that, because Nehan knows the man has so much to work on. It really is tricky, but he eventually decides on one easy thing that Ryunosuke can work on, even without Nehan to supervise.

"Your footwork. Learn how to pick up your feet, how to move and position them-- if you know how to dodge well, but your feet don't move with the rest of your body, you're still in danger." Then he waves a hand. "This is something you can practice with, even without me."
