I know a thing or two about swords myself. It's not my best area, but I'm good enough at it to be a sparring partner, if you ever wanna try. Though you'll have to lend me a sword for it.
You could, but it's harder to do. Especially with sticks off the ground. Most of 'em will break before someone's head does.
[Wolf will get handed a stick that's about 4 feet long, once Shiro finds one and snaps off the smaller, excess branches. It's all bent like a stick would be, though. Actually fighting with it will be a challenge.]
Maybe. Though if you did, you can't remember, yeah?
[By the time Wolf is done getting into his stance, Shiro has finished preparing his own stick. He takes a stance as well, and his is consistent with someone used to using a katana. He might favor guns, but he still had to do sword training too.]
Definitely gonna be the former. [ Wolf's hand flexes on the stick when they say this, not acknowledging, Shiro, mocking their amnesia, wow, ] Ready when you are.
[Shiro sounds confident, but he's also not moving immediately. Instead he's watching, waiting to see if Wolf will move first. His fighting skillset largely revolves around using other people's momentum against them, so it's better for him if he lets the other person attack first.]

[ well, they're back to being tired. ]
But I'm... good with a sword.
[ good job, wolf. ]

See? Not so hard, yeah? But a sword, that's pretty interesting. Do you do training here or anything?

C'mon, let's go over to the woods. I'll show you how to do it.

[I'm so sorry Wolf. Thnx for being a champ.
For his part, Shiro is looking on the ground for big sticks. He's not about to break them off of the trees.]

Try hard enough, and you can brain someone with a stick, too.

Maybe I just knew more destructive kids.
[ or maybe they had no friends as a child. they whip the branch once of twice-- their stance is practiced, and they twirl it after ]

First one to break their stick or yield loses?
