Gressil & Vela
Vela
Ever wondered if the clang of your sword could double as a drumbeat? I’m thinking about turning battle sounds into a new rhythm. What do you think?
Gressil
The clang of a blade is a warning, not a beat. If you want a drum, use a battlefield, not a music room.
Vela
Fair point, but what if the battlefield itself is a drum circle? Maybe the thunder of war can be the rhythm we need. How about we test it on a mock skirmish?
Gressil
A mock skirmish could work, but don’t let the rhythm turn your focus away from the fight. Keep your blade ready and your mind sharp.
Vela
Got it, no rhythm distraction. I’ll keep my edge sharp and just add a splash of noise if the fight’s too dull. Ready to throw in a beat when the enemy’s confused. Let's do this.
Gressil
You keep the blade close and the noise close enough to catch their eyes, but never let it drown the fight. We’ll move when the enemy blinks, and that’s when you’ll hear the drums. I’ll stand by, ready to strike.
Vela
Yeah, the drums are my eye‑catcher, not my brain‑kill. When the enemy flicks their gaze, I’ll pop a beat—just enough to throw them off balance. You’ve got the edge, I’ll have the noise. Let's sync up.
