[ Maybe it's the overall mood of the training session that gets Roland to wonder if he can show off too...Especially to a guy as quick as Tidus, someone who's so used to using speed to an advantage...Roland stays silent until the decision is made inwardly. Determined eyes meeting blue, his weapon suddenly dissolving until the sword returns to his grip, his stance back in position. ]
[ Let's see how I fare with a real challenge like this. ]
Hit me again. Like you mean it. Like you're going in for the kill. [ It's an intense ask, but Roland just smiles at him, ready to take it. ] Don't hold back, okay? It won't work if you do.
[ He needs to feel the rush. Just like when Reno tried to hurt him badly then, tried to maim him and Inigo in Irivar - it has to be that intense. If they can get it even to a fraction of that...he could stand a chance to match this speed. ]
