Summary
Fencing is one of the few things that has been suggested to Vimes by Lady Sybil which he has categorically vetoed. He has always been vaguely aware of the idea that exercise and adrenaline can be good for blowing off certain kinds of steam – and to be fair, throwing himself in the general direction of armed criminals had been almost as much of a recurring habit as the drinking prior to his marriage. He understands, hypothetically, why she wants him to give it a go. It makes a certain amount of sense. It's just that fencing is not, as far as he can tell, dangerous, and most of the techniques used seem far more concerned with showing off than with practicality.
It’s a good idea, it's just the damned principle of the thing!OR:
Vetinari catches Vimes off guard with an invitation to fence with him on a slow day, and Vimes has a much better time of it than he was expecting. -

Summary
Dr. Lawn has laid it out to him thus: if he walks using the cane, it will wear away his hip, and warp his spine, and may well weaken his game leg. If he does not walk at all, his muscles will weaken and atrophy. Walking without the use of the cane is not yet available for consideration.

After finishing Going Postal I couldn’t stop thinking about what Sam Vimes must think of Moist at the end of that book. That’s what this fic’s about.
