Shu tries to remember whether he had balanced more mushrooms in his left hand or his right hand and comes up with a blank before she cottons on to the much more likely method of recalling which hand he wrote with. So even a left-handed swordsman needed to fight with his non-dominant hand. Was that a serious difficulty to overcome? In which case, simultaneously, it meant left-handed novices had a higher barrier to entry while left-handed experts necessarily had to practice much more to become experts.

Vague thoughts running idly through her mind, Shu takes up the correct defensive stance, focusing on mirroring the position of Link's feet and the shifting of his body weight. Though she might not have used a shield before, she is generally familiar with the correct approach towards combat.

At his instruction, she smiles briefly.

"I will endeavor to remember. ...You can strike at me, if you wish."
