[There's a young boy practicing with his blade on the grounds today, swinging the sword with haphazard slashes and thrusts. From the look of it, it's clear as day that he hasn't had any formal training - while he does seem to have a certain amount of strength and endurance to keep up the pace, he also appears to have been self-taught, and clumsily at that. He's expending much more energy than needed with each attack.
Which is... especially odd, considering his sword certainly couldn't have come from the guild itself, particularly considering his age. Not only is it a real sword rather than a mere practice one, it is fairly unique in appearance, especially if one notes the three gemstones set into the hilt - with space to spare for two more, judging by the indentations. Where could he have obtained that...?
At any rate, he finally pauses for a break, flumping onto the ground with his legs crossed as he catches his breath.]
Ugh... It's a lot tougher when it doesn't move on its own, huh?
[D]
[Hey look, it's a kid doing some shopping in Tinwick! He's got a small list of items that he's consulting as he walks, although he also keeps stopping quite frequently whenever a certain shop catches his eye.]
A magic store... I wonder if those are normal here? They didn't even have those in Vision.
[The thought makes him grin. Vision had been a lot like an RPG already - but this place really takes the cake!]
