"SCAR, MUMBO, ISKALL!!! WAKE UP!!! OH, ISKALL YOU SAID YOU WOULD TEACH ME HOW TO USE A SWORD!!!!" Mumbo groaned, not wanting to actually wake up yet. They snuggled into the couch even more. "MUMBO!!!!!" The Shapeshifter groaned again, this time pushing themself up into a sitting position. "Why the hell are you waking us up, YOU PESKY BIRD!?!" Grian laughed, fluttering his wings a bit. "I just wanna make sure I know how to use human weapons correctly!!"
Mumbo pushed themself out of the couch, rubbing their eyes as they desperately tried to wipe the tiredness from their eyes, their wings slightly dragging on the ground. "You don't wanna do that, Patat Boy. It'll just undo all of the preening you did last night." The Shapeshifter hummed, pulling the wings up before they quickly disappeared into Mumbos back. "I think I'm just going to sit and watch... I'll train or whatever later..." Grian laughed a bit but nodded his head.
The pair went outside, rather quickly seeing that both Scar and Iskall were already out there. Scar smiled, "Ah, there you two are!!" while Iskall just silently smiled at the Shapeshifter and Harpy. Grian quickly went over to where Scar and Iskall were. Meanwhile, Mumbo went over to a tree close by and just practically collapsed onto the ground. After a few seconds, Mumbo moved to leaning against the tree, still struggling to stay awake.
Mumbo watched as Iskall showed Grian how to properly hold a sword, though the Harpy looked to be struggling a bit. Scar muttered something, though Mumbo didn't catch what the Vex said. But, Iskall seemed to agree with whatever Scar had said and they took the sword away from Grian, quickly replacing it with some throwing knives. Grian looked way too chaotic holding those things, honestly, it was a little creepy...
Grian started to try and use the knives, and he was really good with them, which made the Harpy very happy. The trio continued to train and practice for basically the entire day, only taking breaks when they were hungry or tired. Finally, the sun started to set, and it was obvious that Grian was exhausted, so Scar took the Harpy inside to sleep. Now, the only people outside were Mumbo and Iskall, neither of them was tired. Mumbo pushed themself up, walking over to Iskall. "You wanna train for a bit? I haven't done anything today, and I told Grian that I would..." Iskall hummed, quickly nodding their head. "What do you wanna use?" Iskall said, gesturing over to the weapons they had.
Mumbo shook their head, "I'm better at hand-to-hand combat. I've tried to learn how to use all of those weapons, and while I'm alright with a crossbow and throwing knives, but I prefer hand-to-hand." Iskall nodded their head, though they seemed a bit surprised. "I don't mean to sound rude at all, but I kind of never expected you to be good at hand-to-hand combat..." They said while scratching the back of their neck. Mumbo chuckled, "Yeah, most people think this when they meet me. Honestly, you're not being rude. Er, at least, I don't see it as rude..."
