Spar with me. [Video; Azalea starting 12/23]

[The man who appears on the screen as the feed begins looks annoyed, but the effect is slightly ruined by the fact that he has a Purrloin and an Espurr, both adorable, using him as a cat tree.]

Apparently, this world forbids real weapons and real battle, and I refuse to let my skills dull. I'm told training swords are acceptable. Someone out there has to be good enough to be worthy of a spar. So consider this a challenge.

Rather far. Like as not, you shall be in Goldenrod City at the very least afore I make my way there, as I am in another region entire.

[Not that he meant to be, he sort of just washed up on the beach and he can't tell you for certain how.]

[bestswordmaster]

You wouldn't be the only one I'm planning to meet in Goldenrod. I ought to be there for at least a little while, so if it's on your path, let me know when you get there and we'll duel. And shop for catnip.

[Estinien lets out a soft amused snort.]

Tis where I was aiming to return to. Unless my place was given away due to my absence, I live there.

[He wouldn't put it past Emet-Selch to have changed the locks though.]

My name is Estinien. I wield the lance, not the sword, though I am certainly used to sparring with opponents using either.

[bestswordmaster]

Good. [He nods.] I'm Felix. And I train with lancers all the time, so I'm not worried. [Whoever this Estinien is, he can't possibly be as good with the lance as Dimitri. No one is.]

If you live there, does that mean you're from this world?

[stardiving]

I would not expect you to be.

[If you're throwing down this challenge and all.

He will probably surprise you all the same.]

No. It has been over half a year, however.
