[Valvatorez himself is a practiced warrior, having seen countless fights over his many years. But learning that Shinki might end up being something other than what his preferred weapons are, he decided to take up the opportunity to learn a few new weapons. He had long favored swords, but he was certainly good with a spear too. Other weapons he could use in a pinch, but truth of it was he was not as practiced as he ought to be.
So with that, he picked up other weapons, taking turns hacking away at the training dummy with whatever was on hand. Axes, maces, flails, and whatever other martial weapons they had available, he'd give a try with. In fairness, he was pretty decent with most of the ones he picked up, though a keen eye could catch that he was leaning on experience from his preferred weapons to adapt to whatever he was using. He eventually switched to ranged weapons, including a bow and even a gun. Perhaps a surprise with his small frame, he had little trouble with drawing even heavier bows, but to say he was a good shot with them would be a lie. He's very clearly a novice with bows, and frankly he wasn't much better with guns.]
...Training dummies are only worth so much. I do wish they offered something more of a challenge if they want us to improve.
[Feel free to approach during his training if any of his labors caught your eye, or perhaps you need to disturb him on an errand from a certain pushy shinki.]
R&R
[...There might be a significant amount of salt-grilled fish missing from the main table and it has found its way to Val's plate. The vampire himself though, has moved to a quieter area and is digging in rather passionately on the fish. Yep. That sure is a rather dark looking character shamelessly chowing down without a care.
If anyone who looks interesting happens by and doesn't approach him first, he'll flag them down.]

You there! Have you tried the fish yet?
