I am pleased and very interested, but this is so sudden. Can I please have time to adjust to having an old friend back before we go further.

He nodded. He sat back on the couch. "So...." He said not really knowing what to say now.

Lets watch the movie, I will make some popcorn and just enjoy being together this evening. We may have to do a lot of explaining about this movie to Kona.
When you we studying various weapons, did you do any sword work? Kona seems to think it is the most desirable weapon.

"I know a lot about knives and daggers." He said with a shrug. He felt like he did something wrong. Even though he hadn't he still felt like he had.

Kareen placed a hand on Luka's leg for a moment, and then got up to find a pack of popcorn and put it a microwave. She also handed out beers to the guys, Noticing how Kona's eyes lit up when he tasted his.

Luki laughed when Kona's eyes lit up when he tasted it. He took a sip of his. "I wouldn't drink too much of this stuff though. Tends to bite you in the ass the day after."

Kona smiles and sits back quietly. FINALLY something familiar... though the beer wasn't quite as strong as the ale he was used to. And hearing all of this talk of delusions... but now was not the time to address such concerns. He looks to the strange flashing box as the movie starts, amazed by the images flashing across the screen.
"Miss Kareen... what is this thing, again?"

"one of the latest action flicks, They get all the new ones at the library" Kareen started, then noticing his face. " The TV is like a scrying glass, but the images you see have been prepared by minstrels and placed on device to be shown in these glasses. It is a form of entertainment for people."
About that time the popcorn began to pop in the microwave.

Kona tilts his head and listens. "And... that noise?" He says. "It sounds like prestidigitation at a fair-ground..."

"Something like that, " Kreen laughed, "It is a special heater that cooks food very quickly. Have you ever tasted pop corn. It is corn that has burst form the heat and turned inside out. very light and fluffy.
She patted Luki's leg and rested her head on his shoulder.

"Inside out?" Kona says, trying to imagine it and finding himself slightly disturbed.
On the TV, a car abruptly explodes and people start screaming. A gunfight erupts in the lobby of an expensive hotel, the good and bad guys trading shots from behind statues and chandeliers while terrified guests scream and panic.
"... what sort of irresponsible behavior is that?!" Kona asks.

"It is a modern version of melee, the biggest difference is the weapons. and the disregard for the rights of innocents in the area.
They us projectile weapons and the metal vehicle is the modern chariot or cart. I think you should consider learning to use a projective weapon, we don't use swords anymore, most fighters try to keep a good distance from each other.
Luki, you are good at weapons aren't you, perhaps you could help Kona learn modern fighting. (Luki was rolling his eyes trying to follow Kareens explanations.)
Kareen opened the popcorn and poured it into a large bowl offering it to everyone.

Kona looks up and raises an eyebrow. "I am trained in the use of a bow as well as a sword." He says. "If neither of these are available, perhaps it would benefit to learn the weapons of this world... but if modern fighting involves such dishonorable tactics as this glass displays, I think I would rather not learn."

No, such dishonorable tactics are not common. They are generally an exaggeration for this type of perform ace. For some reason we like to watch dishonorable behavior. it makes us feel a bit better about ourselves. Kareen replied. However flawed we are, we are better than these guys. it is hard in these shows to tell the good guys from the bad.
Try some popcorn.

Luki had an arm around Kareen's waist and wasn't saying anything. "And as an added note people still use swords or daggers." He said taking out his dagger.
