This house has far, far too many stairs.

My apologies for not informing you ahead of time of the change in instructors - however, I trust you will all treat Elena with the same respect you would show me. It'll be a few more weeks before I'm back - though I may stop in next week to check up on things.

Oh, and for those who expressed interest in hand-to-hand training - I'm afraid that's on hold for probably the next month and a half at least.

Only a month and a half? That's much shorter than I thought it would be! I'm sure we can manage for a while. It's better to keep practicing instead of taking such a long break, right? And I'm sure you have Elena reporting back each class to tell you what went on. I wouldn't worry too much.

Well, there's a difference of several weeks between when I'm well enough to teach and back up to full strength. And yes, it's better for you to keep practicing. I wouldn't say that I'm worried, though - just a bit bored, heh.

Well, Sparda-sama has given me a bit of leave while he's out of town... I suppose I could bring over some board games, if you'd like! Or maybe chess, if you know how to play? I know the rules, but I'm not very good at it yet. I probably wouldn't be much of a challenge, but it might relieve some of the boredom for a while. And I'm sure the kittens would love a chance to roam over the room for a while.

I'm actually a fairly good chess player - though I could try to teach you some tricks.

Or actually - you may have to do some hunting in Chinatown, but if you can turn up a go set - it's a grid, with two sets of stones, white and black. It's a bit like chess, but I haven't played in a long time, so we'll be more evenly matched.

Go? Hm! I've never seen such a thing! I'll have to look it up... If you would be so kind as to teach me how to play, I'd be more than willing to go find a set for us.

It's sort of an analog of chess, in my homeland - I'm fairly certain I saw some sets when I was kimono-shopping. The rules are very simple, but strategy can be quite complex - though I'm not nearly that good, heh.

Well, we'll just learn together, then! Hopefully it'll help keep your mind off things, too. Do you think Reno and Elena would like a set as well? I'm sure he's just as twitchy to be up and about.

Hopefully.

And no doubt, but I think Reno is more of a cards man, on the whole. I'm fairly certain he and Elena are finding enough ways to keep themselves occupied, though.

I suppose so. She seems very attached to him at the moment. And one deck of cards is very much like another. Except for that gorgeous set of cards I saw in a novelty store the other day... "Tarot" cards, I think they were.

I think he's enjoying the attention, heh.

And hmm. Never heard of them.

I hope so! He's in a much better mood whenever she's around, and she seems a little more relaxed.

Me either, but they didn't look like playing cards. Each one was different, but they had the most beautiful pictures on them.
