[flynn smiles warmly upon catching sight of hibiki. ah, those manners that mirror flynn's own. he'll never grow tired of them.]
I barely had a chance to wait, truth be told.
[he'd arrived maybe a minute or two before hibiki. arriving earlier rather than later is his own personal preference. even then, going off his own internal watch, that felt right around 15 minutes. hmm, what's that hibiki's carrying? flynn eyes the items curiously as soon as he catches sight of them.]
Exactly. It's nothing special, just some sandwiches we can consume after our training session.
[ When training alone Hibiki doesn't bother with such preparations beforehand, but this time around he's going to have a practice partner for the first time in a while. ]
What kind of training do you have in mind? Magical or physical? Perhaps both?
[not everyone would've done that. flynn makes a mental note to return the favor whenever they happen to spar next time.]
Why not both. I'd been meaning to test out Qri's abilities and their functionality in combat for some time now.
[so as long as hibiki doesn't mind purposely cutting up flynn a little, that is. trying out healing abilities means actually needing to heal something and what better person to cut up than flynn himself?]
[it's a normal reason to smile just like it's normal for flynn to return that smile! two completely normal dudes here, yup.]
Of course. I have no intention of making this spar one-sided.
[that defeats the point of needing a partner and wouldn't be any fun. all it means is that flynn will focus a little bit less on defense than normal to the point of allowing a couple strikes to hit when otherwise he'd dodge or block. no big deal or anything.]
So please come at me with everything you have. I plan on doing the same.
[with adjustments as need be, of course, but somehow flynn feels he'll be able to stay true to this word with hibiki. someone possessing so admirable a stance on training is likely to prove a worthy opponent and not one requiring him to hold back.]

ugh i always forget the italics
no worries! also sorry for the slow ;;
[ And by preparations he means food and drinks—nothing too fancy as their food rations are limited but it should do.
Hibiki arrives right on time, not even a second early or late and greets the other man with a nod. ]
Hello, sorry for making you wait. We can start right away.
nah, i've been slow this week so we can be slow together!

Are those the preparations you were referring to?

[ Hibiki gets the meaning behind these words immediately; they've done this before, so it's not surprising that Flynn wants to test it even further. ]
You can count on me.
[ To prove his point, he pulls out a few knives and smiles sweetly. Because that's what people do when they show others their knives, yes. ]
Maybe this time you could inflict a wound on me? I don't mind.

[ He didn't intend to make it a child's play for Flynn in the first place anyway. ]
I'm ready whenever you are.
[ With his stealth skills sealed he might be much slower, but it doesn't change Hibiki's attitude—he's still confident in his skills. ]
