You know, I’ll take your word for it. [On the sword knowledge, she means. Not even being sarcastic; if anyone would be a sword expert, it’s someone raised by blacksmiths.]
Oh, that reminds me— uh, if it’s worth mentioning, I’ve… never used a sword before. Eren will help with that, but ah…
[Crap. She’d thought about asking the swordmaker for instruction directly, and then she saw a very youthful puppet-person. And it’s not that she doesn’t want Eren’s instruction, just…]
What would you recommend? [There, keep it vague.] For learning, and stuff.
Oh! I will give you one of my dull swords for practice too then!
[He gets excited enough that he hops off whatever he’s sitting on top preemptively start looking through his “wonky” swords- but then paused- oh he could offer her more than that, couldn’t he?]
I am not so good at fighting, but I can teach you proper forms! I was taught how to test swords, so I know many techniques and forms- but not when to use them.
Yes! Sometimes when I make swords I make mistakes, so they are not good swords for real fighting, but they are good for practice fighting because they are not very sharp.
[Of course he was taught with wooden swords, but he didn’t know how to make those.]

He’s a dumb precious baby doomed by the narrative

oh fun!
“Too”?
[Kanoa’s going to get himself multiple hearts at this rate.]
And forms… Yeah, I’d appreciate that. [Aubrey rubs at her neck, looking awkwardly aside.] Are you really sure you don’t want anything?

I just want to help. That makes me happy.

[He must be absolutely drowning in swords.]
…Hah, alright. [Sweet kid. Puppet…-kid. She smiles, faintly.] Thanks, Kanoa.
