Erachten

Was hoping a Yuri on Ice question would get in here. Good Job.

that anyone can feed your dog and show it enough attention, and eventually it will transfer loyalty

I feel like this is kind of a thing for humans to...

In 7th grade I picked up The Silent Blade (read these way out of order at first) and I read the first fight scene, where it described Artemis' blade piercing the robbers lung. I knew I was hooked then. Very rarely do I reread parts of books but the fight at the end, between Drizzt and Artemis, I read over and over. My question: Do you study any particular form of sword play for your books, or research many in general, or do you mostly make up the style as you are writing?
