[animatedly]

It would be a new side of you I have yet to see.

[which would make it impressive to her!!!]

[lucentia]

I'd rather hope I don't have any enemies here, though.

[animatedly]

If you do, then please rest assured that I would destroy them until they are nothing more but dust on the breeze.

[what happened to letting lucien outsmart them]

[lucentia]

Pardon?

[HE WASN'T EXPECTING THIS RESPONSE?]

[animatedly]

[wow it's clearly a very normal response from someone who is not normal?]

I like you very much, Lucien. And since you are my friend, all those who may wish you harm must be dealt with accordingly... Perhaps in a manner where they can never try again?

[lucentia]

Not that it should be relevant here, but please don't kill anyone, if that's what you're suggesting!

[animatedly]

Not at all! All life is very precious to me.

[this is before her (redacted) era]

I was only thinking of various methods that do not involve such violence.

[just y'know... a little bit...]

[lucentia]

Such as?

[animatedly]

Such as discovering their fears and dislikes!

[see.... it's safe?]

[lucentia]

And then what will you do with those things?

[animatedly]

That depends on what they fear and what they dislike...

[ahem ahem... sees the PECS room]

Oh, we're here, Lucien! Shall we continue our date?

[lucentia]

Let us, although... er, are we here to spar...?

[animatedly]

I do not know if it is allowed on dates... But I would not be opposed! I would cherish the chance to cross swords with you.

[WHY IS THEIR DATE LIKE THIS]

[lucentia]

[WHY INDEED]

If you would have me as your opponent, then.

[animatedly]

[the way i think anastasia would also want to spar on a date]

Of course! [goes to get training swords... once he takes his, she will assume her position.]

Come at me with all your strength!

[okay... anyway i would roll but while reirin is v diligent with practicing she has not actually fought in her entire life... she has only trained.... she will Lose,]

[lucentia]

[this is not wrong because in the dlc iirc when lucien asks out of curiosity why she chose to become a knight she's like "duel me and i'll show you the answer that way"]

Very well—same to you!

[HELP SWEET REIRIN. lucien's no crius or even anastasia but according to himself in the fd he's like at the level where he'd be allowed to instruct in swordsmanship so there we go ig.]

[animatedly]

[WHY IS ANASTASIA SO FUNNY AND SEXY

THEIR BLADES CROSS TO DRAMATIC MUSIC..!!! but the victor is clear... Reirin is both disappointed and also thrilled, because there's nothing like Adrenaline to keep the heart pumping,]

It is my loss! Your skill is truly impressive, Lucien. I must train even harder from now on so I can defeat you...!

[lucentia]

[he lowers his sword, smiling faintly.]

Given your passion, I've no doubt you could if you worked for it. I'd be happy to spar with you again.

[animatedly]

[lucien... he is so cute... please be happy forever (ignores the canon point you took for him).... he is also so nice to reirin.... who will absolutely take him up on this offer...]

Then shall we make this a regular occurrence? We could go on a friend date again tomorrow... And the day after that as well, and the day after...

[EVERY DAY]

[lucentia]

[blinks.]

In other words, you would like to spar every day? [reirin... though lucien doesn't think that's too odd, since] Well, for training, it is good to be diligent.

[animatedly]

[they are just both so not normal]

I would! I confess, I love nothing more than the reward of physical exertion...

[she says this like it wasn't super obvious]

I would... also like to explore the mazes again. And to do that, I must become stronger. I did not go the week prior, much to my shame...

[lucentia]

I can understand, to an extent. It is very rewarding to feel yourself grow physically stronger.

[but reirin sure does seem to love her physical activities.]

... Indeed, the mazes have continued to be dangerous. You needn't feel shamed over taking a break, though.

[animatedly]

[helps return the equipment as she shakes her head. lucien is actually right here but]

How can I hold myself back when Lady Keigetsu is waiting for me...? Even if I did not know it was her at the time...

[lucentia]

... I can understand how you feel. I am ashamed of some of my earlier progress, or lack thereof, now knowing what I am here for.

However, your Lady Keigetsu would surely not wish to see you unduly harmed for her sake. Neither would you be in your best condition without a break here and then.

[animatedly]

[these wise words from lucien who offered to spill all of his life's blood in a chalice once..............]

It is true that she would be most upset if I were injured on her behalf. She would call me an ignoramus, a fool who pushes herself needlessly and ungraciously, someone who is more a hard-headed beetle than a delicate butterfly...
