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.

I don't have a lot of money but I'll pay you what I can. Not sure if that'll help with location though. I don't know of any good places either but there might be a few people you can ask. Pepper Potts is the first name that comes to mind. Though honestly I just used to find an empty clearing outside of town.

That may have to work for one-on-one instruction for now.

Talking to Ms. Potts about somewhere a little more permanent does seem like a good idea though.

If it works for you then it works for me. I'll have a day off in two days... or should I wait to hear from you?

[Then he huffs a laugh at himself.] Actually I just realized that I never got your name.

[clay_and_truth]

In two days, then. I'll mark an area out with some posts that hopefully isn't too muddy.

My name is Diana. I'm told I'm... easy to spot.

[Luke doesn't quite understand what she means by that but he doesn't question it as he figures he'll find out in two days anyway.]

Sounds good. I'll see you then.
