Oh. Okay. [yeah never been to one of those but it makes sense to him.] Then sure, I guess I'll be your therapist. I don't know what kind of stuff you've gone through that you don't remember yet, or what's happened to you here, but...it's probably not great.
[otherwise tiger would not be like this, but that's okay. sora ignores the part where he probably also needs a therapist because he feels fine enough.]
Wasn't expecting it. [tiger...please.] But okay. So a few things! I brought some stuff for you to look at to see what you might like, but I also found some wooden spoons in the kitchen that we can use to try and teach you how to fight. Figured you wouldn't want to start with knives right away.
Cool. [he can almost hear the judgment though, so:]
Unless you can conjure up some wooden swords, this'll have to do. Riku and I grew up using those and turned out just fine. So spoons should be good enough.
Wanna head outside? You can finish your smoothie first if you want.
[smoothies on the go! sora picks up his shirt bundle and follows them outside. the bundle's dropped to the ground and he pulls out two wooden spoons, offering one to tiger.]
Here, take this. We're going to work on blocking first since that'll be the most important for defending yourself. How fast are you?
That's a good start. Usually if an opponent is facing you head-on, they'll rush. If you don't have time to dodge out of the way, you have to find a way to block.
[good! great! sora immediately turns his spoon to block, attempting to push tiger back.]
Like that. If you have a bigger weapon like a sword it's easy to use your opponent's momentum to make 'em stumble. And once they do--[he adjusts the spoon for a pretend strike.]--you can counterattack.
[this is so stupid. but sometimes you have to improvise a lot.]
[he will lovingly handcraft wooden swords from the goddamn forest next time, but for now this works. they rush and he blocks, going in for a counterstrike at full speed so i truly hope tiger is ready to block? at least it's just a spoon.]
Fight with spoons? Never. Fight in general? It's sort of my job. [there's a grin.] My weapon's a lot bigger than this though...I've been using it for a few years to save different worlds.
Shocking, I know. [the bitchiness is met with his own brand of sass it's fine.] It's called a Keyblade. Think of it as a big two-handed weapon that's shaped like a key. Sometimes I can use it one-handed though.
[he sighs then.] The profile's wrong because the word "junior" really shouldn't be there anymore, but yeah. That would be part of it.

Right... try again?

[ okay then. they will use this stupid spoon, again, and attempt the same thing again. ]

but tiger just brings the spoon up??? in what is hopefully a block??? ]
no subject
Just like that! It's about your reflexes, so if you're watching and react quick enough, you can really throw somebody off.
no subject
How often do you do this kind of thing?

[so. he has had a lot of practice.]

So you just smack people around with a key.
no subject
It's more than just smacking people around. My magic helps out a lot, too.
no subject
[ they hate this. wow. ]
And of course you also have magic.
