i'll take you on;

Characters: Ken and open!
Setting: The meadow floor (25).
Format: Either.
Summary: Ken's looking for some sparring practice. Hopefully people will answer his request from his network post.
Warnings: Violence, probably language. idk what else.


Ken didn't really care who came to see him in the meadow. Hopefully it would be at least one person, but he needed the practice anyway. He'd brought a few spears, in case anyone came to learn, but his more sturdy spear was in his hands.

He thrust forward, backward, and then planted it in the ground, using it like a pole vault to leap forward. He couldn't go as far as he used to - he still needed to adjust for weight. He wasn't as short as he used to be. Really, his spears probably needed to be extended, but he'd have to find someone to help with that.

He didn't trust everyone here. He couldn't. Really, there were only a few people he could trust - but that was enough for him. Still, better to give off the illusion of friendliness and openness in a place like this.

... He was thinking too much. Hopefully someone would show soon.

"Huh... that's a long time in Tower years. I've been here for a little over a year myself, but I think I've encountered at least one person who's been here longer." Prussia adjusts his grip on his sword. "A few years before? Can I ask how old you are?"

[miseris_socios]

"I'm thirteen. I've had two birthdays here."

Prussia gives a long, low whistle. "So you're another one of the tower oldbies, huh? Coincidentally, the other oldbie I met was a kid, too. Or at least I think he was around your age? Not sure." Then Prussia re-checks his facts. "Oh, you said you've only been here for a year and a half... never mind. That's only a bit longer than me, I think."

"Romeo? He's a friend of mine. We look out for the younger people in the tower together."

He looks a little proud of it as he says it.

"Yep! That's right, Romeo! I met him a little while ago. I can't believe he's been in the tower for as long as he has." Prussia finds himself impressed with just about everyone who has been here for close to or over two years, oddly enough. "You two help protect the other kids in the tower, huh? That's great! They need as much support as they can get, given the things that happen here."
