Dick's no stranger to training newbies. He was the first, which means he's seen a lot of new faces in the training ring over the years. Honestly? It's pretty fun! Look, this is a family with unusual bonding activities, okay, and 'sparring' is definitely one of them. Bonding, hanging out, maybe some catharsis, y'know...

Look he's not saying it's ever 'the right call' to punch a sibling, but he's also saying sometimes you just gotta punch a sibling within a controlled and appropriate environment. You're Jason's sibling now too so Dick is sure you'll come to agree with him on that fact someday, yeah?

But that's not why we're here today! No arguments to be settled. Nope, this is training. You're new to the Fam, and it's time to turn potential into real skill. And really, that's the part Dick likes most - seeing new siblings blossom, find their niches, start to get confident. Every member of this family is exceptional, and he'll be the first to tell you that it takes work to get there. All of them started as beginners once, even Bruce himself. He'll also be the first to assure you that you will get there. And to that end? Training.

And as said, he likes helping train the newbies. It's low-pressure, it's less competitive than it can get with long-time family members, and hey, it's kind of a 'big brother' thing to do and that's his deal, really. So it's a win-win: you get an experienced, skilled, and he likes to think pretty fun teacher (especially compared to some of Bruce's methods), and he gets to have a chill time and teach you some tricks.

So he's looking pretty upbeat as he directs you to the spread of training weapons available for the sparring ring. "Don't worry about finding the 'right' one right away," he advises, "It takes a while to really find what you're best with sometimes. And let's be honest, we all sorta pick up all of them eventually anyways. I'm always gonna talk up the escrima, but we'll go with whatever leaps out at you! Your choice."
