Function (3) - Text

Who wants to teach a lady how to fistfight?

[She probably shouldn't be texting and riding a giant firedog at the same time, but hey, Crash knows what she's doing.]

I'd gotten used to running around, it feels strange not to keep in shape like that anymore. It seems like a good skill to learn, besides.

I've specialized in hand to hand for a long time. I could be of some help.

[There's a bit of a delay, since her 'Gear got stolen so she pinched Royce in the ribs so it got dropped and they had to go back to get it off the road... But hey, it's sharktoothed buddy. Considering he's not dead from shark attack, she'll take his advice.]

That'd be great. What advice would you give for an amateur?

You need to get guards for your hands. I'm not entirely sure if you'll find them anywhere here, but I imagine so.

You want to avoid breaking your hand, and that's the best way to do it.

There are techniques for knocking your opponent over, and you don't need to be very large or strong to do it. It's all about putting balance on the right part of your body.

This place seems pretty peaceful but I'm sure I can find something.

That sounds easy enough. What's one technique?

[He doesn't go into great detail, because this is one of those things that really needs to be taught in person, but it's enough to at least be comprehensible. Especially coming from Greed, whose idea of teaching you think would actually be pretty sloppy and missing details.]

At the very least, you should probably be able to find someone who wouldn't mind letting off steam by fighting.

Can't get in trouble with the police if it's done for fun.

[...Royce is getting a casual glance now.]

I think I know someone. If nothing else, he owes me so this would be a good way to work off debt, right?

Probably.

If he's ever gotten on your nerves, you can call it payback.

That's putting it lightly.

By the way, how've you been after getting your sharks?

Quite well, actually.

I'm in Kanto with a friend.

Sounds fun. Anywhere in particular you're visiting there?

Not really. We're going to see as much as we can before it gets too cold in autumn.

Good luck.

If I'm stuck here, I feel like I should go sight seeing too at some point. Let me know if you find anywhere good.

I haven't been to it yet, but there's Mount Moon.

In Johto there's always the ruins, but I didn't visit them when I was on my way to Goldenrod.

Sounds romantic. Have a special someone to go with, or is it stag for you?

Romantic? Nah, I'm jut here to have fun.

I'm traveling with a friend right now, though.

Hope you have fun then. What's your friend like?

She's a fun person. Smart, philosophical, and curious about the world.

I'll have to meet her sometimes. What's her name?

Lust.

Don't get any ideas. She and I really are just friends, despite what it may sound from her name.

Lust and Greed...

I feel like there's a connection there for some reason.

Maybe so.

But she doesn't act much like her name suggests.

She seems interesting if you have all these good things to say.

I'll remember to talk to her if she posts on the network anytime soon.

Keep an eye out for her. She's a fun woman to talk to.

I'll be sure to. Looks like you picked a good traveling partner.

I think so too.
