While I don't know many of you very well yet, and you probably have no reason to take me on my word when I say I'm skilled in the area, I'd still like to know if anyone without any skill in combout would be interested in instruction in self-defense, were I to offer it.

Or, for those already more practiced, interested in further honing your skills with melee weapons, provided they could become available- though I can make practice swords from wood easily enough.

I can also give lessons in basic archery, but it's never been my strongest skill. I'm far better at deflecting arrows than nocking them. [She smiles a little, as if at a private joke]

I won't turn away any students, regardless of whether you can pay or not. As people have pointed out to me, there are dangers here, and it would be irresponsible of me not to do everything I can to help- and one of the things I can do is to teach.

Also, does the city have a library, or something similar? I'd like to know of the philosophers and literature of this world.

Male g-... Ah.

[He laughs, low and a little rueful.]

As much as I would like to defend my adopted countrymen, that will certainly be an issue here, amongst those who prefer women.

I would be interested in hearing your long and complicated story once you're more settled, if it's something you're willing to share. A greater understanding of one another's backgrounds can only help in the days to come.

Certainly, I'm all for trading stories, especially as I'm sure you have some of your own to tell- I clearly have a lot to learn about this world and I've found that's always the best way to learn such things.

A fair trade is a fair trade, after all.
