A man for my heart.
I do love a challenge and I do love getting rewards.

[Stupid dog brain.]

I don't really know what "gongzi" is and I feel as though "young master" is a cultural difference I'm not familiar enough to comment on. Monsieur is a form of address like "sir" or "mister."

[dianxie]

Sounds like it's similar enough. Monsieur Wriothesley! It flows off the tongue, I like it.

I wake up early, so we could do a morning spar before breakfast if you're not opposed to that.

[armwriostle]

[Man. How do you early risers do it? Ignore that he's just the type of guy who stays up odd hours, but with how much free time they all have, he can shift things around to make it work fine.]

A morning spar works fine. It gives me a reason to enjoy a large breakfast after.

[dianxie]

[ Early to rise! Catch the worms, etc!! ]

Excellent! Thank you for this, I'm really looking forward to learning how to box!

[armwriostle]

[He likes to sleep in. Thanks.]

There's no need to thank me. I'm at Talon daily, and I'm more than happy to introduce those to boxing.

Though...if you're learning to hold your strength and pull your punches, boxing might not be the sport to picking up... The whole point it to knock your opponents down and it's a pretty dangerous sport all things considered.

[dianxie]

So you won't train me ... ? :(

[armwriostle]

I never said that. It just might not be what you're looking for.
You're really killing me with the sad face.

[dianxie]

Don't worry, I can pull my punches. I'd like to learn a new martial form, that's all. I usually fight with a sword.

:'( This is my actual face when you make me sad.

[armwriostle]

I've already agreed, so I'd like it if you stopped trying to make me feel bad.
I don't take too kindly to it.

[dianxie]

[ Xie Lian blinks at the message, confused. ]

I'm sorry, I was only teasing.

[armwriostle]

It's fine.
It doesn't translate very well through text.

I don't know you well enough, so I can't easily read what's being said other than literally.

[dianxie]

I thought the little faces were light-hearted tools, I didn't know otherwise. I'll avoid using them in the future.

[armwriostle]

You misunderstand.

I don't mind the faces, but I'm still getting more and more accustomed with using this mode of communication.
If this were a face-to-face conversation, this probably wouldn't be a problem.

You seemed upset that I might be refusing you and that was not my intention and just emphasizing being sad when I've agreed just didn't sit well with me.
It is a miscommunication, and I just wanted to be honest.
I'm sure once we converse more often, this won't be a problem.
