<faces Gillianren, executes fencing salute, and then bows at the waist> Thank you for your kind words, dear lady. I'm I'm not sure the fencing analogy is the best, though. It was turbonium's bad luck that I've been rather upset the past two weeks about a situation involving my former girlfriend, and haven't felt like studying as much as I should have. He's made a convenient verbal punching bag--very therapeutic for taking out my frustrations.
