Master Raske is NOT pleased. ‘I have been teaching you German Longsword,’ he tells me. ‘So you can rediscover the lost art of European martial arts. I have NOT been teaching you longsword so you can act like a vigilante and perform random acts of violence with Jack Donaldson’s baseball bat.’ (See my last post).
‘They weren’t random,’ I tell him. ‘I thought about it very carefully. Because Jack Donaldson is bigger and stronger and certainly tougher than me and thinking about it was the only advantage I had.’
Master Raske takes a deep breath. ‘You thought about it.’
‘Yes.’
‘And you still did it.’
‘Yes.’
He takes another breath. ‘Why?’
