[ Ithaqua is truly the product of his worst nightmares, a foe who likes to toy with him, mess with his psyche when he is simultaneously, indeed, a true threat. If he wanted to, he could've killed him, but Yamato thinks Ithaqua would rather continue toying with him instead. Maybe he's terribly wrong about that, but for whatever reason, Ithaqua hasn't killed him tonight and for that he should be thankful.
He lets the other blade in his hand disintegrate into nothing, and falls silent.
Heheh! No more fight left in you? [Ithaqua rolls off of Yamato to pick him up under the arms, like one would handle an ornery cat, to get him to sit upright again.]
You had the courage for a moment there, a shame it lasted for only an instant. But I think I understand why-- you haven't the skills or necessary training to keep it up.
[Ithaqua, of course, is just going to barrel right on.]
You need training, dear little skeptic. Quite a lot of it, in fact. You're as thin as a stick, but there's another one like that in this room, and that's never stopped me before. [And yes, he is implying that he will do it. He'll bring this zero into a hero.]

Hm?

[ Or maybe, Ithaqua, you are just a scary motherfucker regardless of whether someone has the skills to handle you or not- ]
...I guess.

Are you offering?
[ And is he seriously contemplating agreeing to this, if he's right? ]
no subject
Yes, yes I am. Have you enough courage for it?
no subject
Does he have enough courage, indeed. It takes him a moment to answer, but ultimately, he decides he needs to do what's best. ]
Fine. I'll – I'll do it.
no subject
You must be prepared for that. [He waggles his fingers.] Perhaps eat better food, and drink more water.
no subject
[ He eats balanced meals! ... Or so he thinks, anyway. What does Ithaqua-sensei have to say about this? ]
no subject
More grains, more greens, perhaps. Put meat on your bones so your body can actually support you while running.
Do you even eat eggs?
no subject
[ He's fit!! He's an idol! ... But not a combatant, so. Yeah. Maybe more muscle is necessary. ]
I eat all that stuff already, you know. Are you saying I need more of it?
no subject
How often do you eat fowl?
