I think this bodes well.

How early is too early to fight again..? :twisted:

yes here you can see the beginnings of a Calontiri great sword fighter.
Whenever the legislators endeavor to take away and destroy the property of the people, or to reduce them to slavery under arbitrary power, they put themselves into a state of war with the people, who are thereupon absolved from any further obedience

One of the cutest little ankle-biters I've seen in ages.

Um, your son, not Audax.

Err, not that Audax isn't cute.

Cripes, nevermind, I'm going back to sleep.

Cute little monkey. Need to start him on footwork drills -- soon as he can walk, I mean.

Reminds me a bot of Denys de Caergwen's son. Even as a baby, he'd crawl around to the hilt end of a sword to play with it.

This is true. He's also a huge flirt. Every pretty girl that walks up... Smile + dimples, then does a cute wiggle and buries his face in whomever is holding him. Ladies eat it up.

Awesome!!!!

My son is 2 and love "BITE SWORD" as he calls it! Although he does not mind me fighting, he refuses to let people hit me if I am unarmoured. One of the other SCAdians told him he was going to sneak up and hit me as I was removing some armour. My son yelled "NO! MY DADDY!!" and stood between us with his arms raised and refused to let the guy passed until he dropped the sword :lol:
If I have not seen as far as others, it is because there were giants standing on my shoulders.
