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 could use some self defense training. I mean, I pretty much know nothing about self defense, so it would be a good idea to learn some.

[Sure, he could manage the 'panic when he was backed into a corner and lash out', but it wasn't like he really knew what he was doing, or like it was too hard to take him out if the person he was fighting knew anything themselves.]

I don't have a lot of money, but I have some if it's not too expensive. Kind of short right now, though, since a lot of the stuff I'd been doing kind of relies on being able to be outside with a violin.

[Getting a violin wet wasn't the best idea, after all.]

[clay_and_truth]

I'd be happy to let you pay for the first few lessons in song, if you like. It's been a while since I've heard a solo violin performance.

It always makes me wish I'd paid more attention to the music lessons I had as a child. Sadly, the lyre and I really did not get along at all.

[roddy_reinigen]

Thanks, I'd definitely like that.

Yeah, well...music lessons were pretty much the only thing I paid attention to. When did you want to meet up?

[clay_and_truth]

Perhaps next week, if things dry up a bit? I've been a touch busy helping as much as I can with the evacuees of late. This has been something of a bit of a chaotic time, with so many people displaced.

[roddy_reinigen]

Yeah, next week sounds good, assuming nothing crazy happens.

[Like wraiths. Or more flooding.]
