Are
He would have contemplated the meaning of the words. Properly allowing them to sink in and mull over them for an hour or so, maybe busy himself as to allow it to really make sense to him before applying it in any shape or form.
At least that had been the plan the split second before the actual lesson landed square in his chest. Sending the cobbler and what little breath he had left, hurtling back end over end, spilling both axe and shield to either side.
Allowing himself a few moments to collect his thoughts and what Roana knocked out of him he started reconsidering how wise of a move it really had been. Maybe brute force had it's place, but Are had learned that he had a shield for a reason other than to cower behind. Determination won out in the end though, so he got up, collected his arms and resumed a more guarded stance.
No words from the cobbler, only a face of slightly pained determination and another wind up. Not allowing his shield to fall down he struck out from behind it, another wide, arcing sweep coming down like a falling tree.
