[ He steadies his breathing by closing his eyes and counting to three before exhaling. It works, to a great extent; a smirk quirked on his lip as he listens to the guy sat next to him now. ]

Not that often, I'll admit. But I'm not sure how I'll be able to practice without the proper resources. [ Roland turns his head slightly to meet Tidus's eye. ] You can only improve with Manuals of the Maiden, which we study back at the barracks in the kingdom. Plus, it's a move that needs me to replenish the energy spent after using it. It'll be more effective if I can actually do what the move is meant for, which is to attack repeatedly while the target isn't aware I'm not in front of them anymore.

[ He waves his hand around lamely, before setting it down against his lap. His other leg lifted and bent, arm over his knee. ]

But I guess there's no harm in getting myself more built for the speed. You guys make it look easy, eh? Heh.

[ Which is an understatement. Roland knows you can only get at that level with constant practice. ]
