[Johnny saw Maul observing the class and had to admit he was a little surprised to see him here. He didn't exactly like Maul, the asshole had killed him on his first day here. But after the thing with the frogs and their last conversation on the network there was a part of him that felt kind of sorry for the prick. He didn't know much about the world Maul was from but not knowing how to fight for anything but to kill- That fucking sucked and he toll that could take on soldiers. He wasn't one, of course, but his mentor had been. And while he had a lot of hate for Kreese he could at least understand that much about him.

Which is why he let's Sayo and Paul take lead on the rest of the lesson as he moves to join up with Maul.]

I'm not one for using weapons much, but sure.

Why don't we trade a lesson for a lesson. Maybe a couple of old dogs can learn some new tricks.

[Maul isn't sure he liked Johnny all that much but that is par on course for most of the residents of Trench. Most people don't like him and Maul is fine with that. Besides, he figures that they're even after Maul had killed Johnny for insulting him. The great thing about people coming back to life here is that murder tends to calm Maul down when it comes to dealing with people he otherwise might want to kill on a daily basis. Doing it once gets it out of his system in a way.

Maul nods, brightening up a little and no longer looking ill at ease, although he does look curiously at Johnny with the use of the word 'old'. He's not very good at judging the ages of human beings to begin with. Johnny looks older than him but he acts about seventeen most of the time, so Maul has absolutely no idea how old this guy is supposed to be. Maybe he'll ask about it later if it is still on his mind.]

How much do you know about staff fighting?

[Johnny was honestly pretty prickly and his friend group was pretty small outside of a few high school buddies and his students. He didn't really hold a grudge over the whole dying thing but it still sucked and it probably wouldn't stop him doing it again.

But he did know what it was liked to be disliked and treated the way Maul did. Which maybe bought him a few points out of sympathy. One day he'd figure out how he actually felt about the guy.

Still he feels a bit of a smile come up when the other guy brightens up.]

Probably enough to get by against someone who doesn't know shit about what they're doing in a fight.

My sensei taught me a little bit when I was doing lessons but it was never really the focus.

[Considering one of Johnny's students whipped his staff across the room and knocked over a trophy case his skills probably weren't great. Penis Breath or Mitch wasn't his best student but it still said enough.]

That has always been my specialty. Many know how to fight against swords and even traditional lightsabers. But fighting against a saberstaff? That is something else entirely.

[He goes off and grabs two wooden staffs. Looks like Maul came prepared. He tosses one over to Johnny, holding his own in his left hand right in the middle for the moment. He goes into the usual fighting stance Maul has when beginning a fight and gestures for Johnny to make the first move.]

Go on. I want to see what I'm working with here.
