[ drayton follows kieran's gaze with a vaguely agreeable hum, stretching his arms out above his head. fair points on all counts... aside, perhaps, from assuming he knew anything at all about physical combat. with his attitude and noodle arms, really?
the fact that he does is the added surprise. he was, unfortunately, his grandfather's grandson sometimes. ]
I getcha. Reckon these guys would be fine holdin' back for the most part, but startin' small is the best way, right? Heh. [ hands on hips, he gives kieran a look-over. ] Been a looong time, but I know a couple things. You bring another stick?
[Were he still obsessed with getting stronger, he would have picked the strongest person on the island and trained until he collapsed. Now? He's willing to take things slow.]
[However, Kieran perks up in surprise at Drayton, blinking in stunned surprise.]
Eeh. [ middling hand motion. ] "Fight" is prob'ly too strong of a word for it. It's a few forms at best, and even then I'm super rusty so don't go expectin' much from it. Not that you should ever be expectin' much from me, heh.
[ he's still just drayton, at the end of the day. ]
Why're you all surprised now? Did you really just ask me out here to smack some sense into me after all, if you thought I couldn't fight?
[ an amused sigh. he'll step over, looking over the staff, how kieran is holding it. offer a little more explanation. ]
Handlin' dragons, all the traditional family stuff, it's part of that. Haven't bothered since I started goin' to Blueberry, though. [ a hand to his chin, contemplative. ] What are you wantin' me to do then, exactly?

No, I'm not gonna hit you with it! It's just... I know I asked you if you knew anythin', but I guess I'm just surprised that you actually do.
[Which isn't really helping his case but still.]

[You write formally, that's what you learn in school! But despite huffing, he looks down at the staff in his hands.]
Well, I was wonderin' if you knew anythin'... basic? Like how to hold it..? I guess?
[He has no idea what he's even doing, to be honest.]
