Ha! Hyaah!
[After dealing a lethal blow to a practice dummy, Sielje puts down her weapon. The knight is sweaty but for once, seems content. And the weapon in question is not her usual sword, but a long rod. A practice spear.]
Yes, I did not forget. I still have the arm for this.

Ahem. Do not misunderstand, it is not my intent to request my work done for me.
But there must be a better way to do this.
[Sielje is covered in paint, a large brush in her hand. In the background, her handiwork - a beginning of some kind of shape forming on a large mobile suit shield. A shape painted by hand, as half-empty cans littering underneath betray.]
I know there is a device of sorts for this kind of... purpose. But I know not how to operate it, and...
[She glances at the mess, embarassed.]

Ynya too thought there is nothing wrong in fighting with a spear and told me of advanced techniques and advantages it has. But, I did not listen. I chose the sword, which was even harder to master, and trained. Eventually, I became as good with it as with the polearm.
