A twitch of regret at the corner of his exquisitely defined lips. Against his better judgement, Rayn lifted his free hand to where Andraste held hers at her face. His fingers gently rounded a couple of her own and he applied a little pressure so as to move her hand away from her face without holding it. "You will have to overcome that fear.. or it will overcome you." He spoke from experience; from many years of turning from his past as if it had never happened. Although Andraste was only newely aware of her history - he could not allow her the same pardon that Acheron had allowed him for the first decade or so of his immortality. Now, Rayn was avoided; whispers spoken behind his back, but back then, he'd been the boogy-monster of daimon nightmares - settling on nothing and no place but for that of his bargain with Artemis - to hunt. It had allowed him reprieve back then - with no time to dwell on what had happened - on what he'd caused...
He wished he could give Andraste that same courtesy. He wished he could give her the time she craved to come to deal with all that had come to pass.
They didn't have that kind of time.

When she felt his cool fingers envelope hers and gently pry them away from her face, Andy felt the heat rise in her, like a viper poising to strike out in her defense, prepared to bite him. She gave a squeak and hurriedly pulled herself away, taking a step away from him. The instant there was some distance she felt the bubbling heat begin to simmer down, slowing its surge until she felt like she was cool again.
"Maybe you should let it," she sobbed.

Rayn frowned, his forhead creasing lightly as he set his jaw. "Fear is not your ally, Andraste."
Lowering the sword, Rayn glanced at it's sheening silver edges before flipping it in the air to expertly land the hilt in his opposite hand. "This is not evil." he twirled the sword, making the blade flash as he did so. "It is merely a tool. The one who wields the weaopn is the one who decides its fate.." he watched the sword as he continued to move it slowely in the air.
He could feel her anger, her desperation, yet, for now, he refused to enter her mind to find out why they stood out above her other emotions.

Andraste's eyes were drawn to the sword as he flurried it around expertly. She'd always loved the majesty of the blade... so why, now that she had a chance to try it for herself, did she fear it so much?
No... it wasn't the sword she feared, it was herself with it in her hands. Why did she now feel so tainted? As if the Daimon's hands on her flesh had only served to draw up an evil that had always lurked inside her. Why did she feel that if given a blade she could cause as much harm as help?
She swallowed thickly, drawing in a deep breath to try and calm herself.
"and... you'll teach me to do the right thing with it?" she asked quietly.

She wasn't scared of the blade.. she was scared of herself...
That realisation came with a feeling of tenderness.
Bringing his slow movements to a stop, Rayn braught his eyes back to Andraste's, "I can teach you how to control the sword.. and along with that will come your own self-control."
He took a step forward to move back in front of her and twisted his wrist so that the hilt was once again offered to her.

Andraste took a moment to wipe her eyes dry, before she reached out to take the hilt from him. Her hand was still trembling violently even as she took hold of it. She was terrified, but she trusted him.

Rayn let go to allow her to take the sword from him fully. Reaching his other hand behind his back, he returned it a moment later. In his hand were two daggers, their blades crossing from the way he held them. Exchanging the hand of one of the weapons as he took three steps backward, he took a casual stance, seemingly undefended and open to attack. "hit me."

Andraste stared at him incredulously, shaking her head.
"N-No, I don't want too," she insisted. "Can't I hit something not animate first?"

Rayn scoffed, his eyes hardening to blue steel, "The daimon won't give you a practice run"...
Well-placed confidence dripped from his voice as he spoke, "You won't hit me."

"B-But I--" Andy started to protest, but the intensity of his eyes made her recoil into silence. She took a moment then to think, letting the swords presence in her hand really sink into her mind. Then she lunged, just letting her body work through the motion as it felt right.

Rayn stepped to the side and swung around to face her, daggers crossed behind his back, tips pointing to the roof. She would find that she had inherited many things from her father when she began to tap into her potential, but she would have to learn how to control what was forced upon her; learn how to use it. "That was clumsy. Let the sword become an extension of your arm." he flipped one of the daggers in his fingers and dropped it into the wooden flooring before bringing his other hand around to his front, "Again."

Andy gnawed on her lip for a moment before she lunged again, trying to imagine the blade as a part of herself. It was difficult though.

This time, with one foot braced behind the other to hold his weight, Rayn let her come at him, catching the sword with little effort before it reached him and letting it run down the side of his dagger for a fraction of a second before flicking it off. He was strong, he was quick, he was a highly trained, lethal warrior of mankind.. but he had every belief that Andraste held the same, if not more power inside of her. '...but how to fracture that barrier to get to it' he mused, continuing to parry with her as he did so.

Andraste was quickly falling into a comfortable pattern, her control over the sword improving. The strength behind the attacks did not grow any harsher, but her focus seemed to be becoming more solid.

An small unguarded smile passed his lips, followed by a determined frown just before he dropped his dagger so that it would not catch the sword, readying himself for the pain that would come with the follow-through of Andraste's current swing.
Some lessons couldn't be taught through words alone.
