in this one a sixteen year old Firuz is being... taught... to fight? an older man with bright cerulean eyes is running him through basic martial arts forms, the theories of melee combat, showing him how to shoot a bow, etc. Firuz seems to be doing okay at the theory and the forms and the stances in all cases, but in every single friendly training spar he can't do it. he freezes up. he can't even swing a wooden sword at another person. this happens across all forms of combat - technical proficiency but some block stopping him from actually being able to apply it practically - until his teacher gives up on teaching him to fight, commenting that it might be for the best after all.
Firuz pretends to not be bothered by it but the irritation, frustration and shame IS there in the memory. he is very bothered by it. ]
I don't think so because whatever mental block HE has didn't exist for me in Estoria, I just didn't, like, train to fight because I was a musician and not a MMA fighter.
