[1 - backdated a little]
[Daniel wasn't around for several days - he suddenly asked for a leave, if anyone bothers to investigate his disappearce. But now, he just as suddenly shows up again. He also looks kinda dejected. The large cyborg sits down in a chair heavily (which creaks in protest), and boots up a tablet (he has to use a stylus - fingers too big), which shows an e-book titled Tales From The Old West. But Daniel doesn't look like he's in the mood for reading. It's a mystery if he's physically capable of sighing, but he looks like he really wants to.]
...Thought I finally found them. But I was wrong. It was a false trail. A red herring. Again.
[2 - the outskirts of Alhambra]
[Steel Wanderer is being piloted right now, for a practice session. The mech fights against a target dummy, hitting it repeatedly with a training sword (pretty much a large steel tube). The attacks, while certainly strong, are very simple and without skill, as if delivered by a rookie - very different from Daniel's usual precise sharpshooting. Is he really the one who's piloting the robot?]

[So yeah, it's kind of a secret.]
Recent fights made me realize melee is my weakness. Going in a fight with a big weakness is just asking for trouble.

This is the Ankaian look at this thing. There is also a saying, that the worthiest knights will feel union with the sword as soon as they pick up the blade for the first time, wielding it with grace and no embarassment.
Regardless... that is but a say. The real world is often much different.
So...

Of course just showing will not be enough, you will need to practice regardless...

[Sielje picked up her own Arm, the unit looking commanding as she explains.]
I will show you how. Overpowering your enemy with sheer might is tempting, and may work - however... it is better to train for fighting mightier opponents, not ones weaker than you.
This is what I was told.

[Steel Wanderer points its training sword at the Knight's Arm, showing readiness for battle.]
Who told you that?

A friend.

[Despite that initial failure, Daniel doesn't get discouraged and tries to strike, with more thought put into the attack. The training continues.]
