[ sorry, fuuta—it's not you, it's him. hopefully the way that blade moves to help correct fuuta's grip and stance will help to make up for it, his focus seeming somehow sharper now that they're engaged in something blade knows well and understands clearly. he puts his own sword down to shift fuuta's hands a little, making his grip stronger and more steady; he steps up closer and uses one of his own feet to nudge fuuta's a little wider apart, giving him a more solid stance. ]

Not bad, [ blade says. it's clear that fuuta is new to this, but if nothing else, he has a good eye for copying blade's own posture, and that puts him a step above total beginner in blade's opinion. ] Now follow me.

[ standing side by side, although carefully out of range of any errant swings of fuuta's sword, blade slowly demonstrates a few basic moves for fuuta to follow along. a couple attacks, a couple blocks—nothing fancy, just very basic functional swordplay that would allow him to defend himself against an inexperienced attacker. ]
