[Koz can't do much with the storm going on so he's going to make some conversation with the people at large here.]

While I'm aware that english, or at least a variation on it, is the language most used here I'm curious what other ones people know or are more comfortable with at the very least. I'm familiar with quite a few so if there's one you'd prefer speaking in I'm more than willing to oblige.

A language barrier shouldn't be a reason for us to be unable to work together and if anyone wishes to learn a language I'm more than willing to teach.

[There's a pause.]

I'm also wondering if anyone skilled with a sword could use a sparring partner, I seem to be short one.

[And Atticus picks a language at random to throw at Koz, just to see what he knows. So here, have something he hasn't spoken in awhile and is not a damned Slavic language.

Let's go with German, that's rather common right?]

I've, apparently, been working with some of the metalsmiths in town so not only do I have access to weapons we might use but I have had no one to test my sword against in far too long myself.

[German? Really, that's easy and while it's a bit formal and probably a tad out of date it's german.]

Really now. What sort of things are they working on?

[He grins a little.]

What sort of a blade to you use, if you don't mind my asking.

[Atticus' German isn't the most modern either, though 70 years really isn't a big difference. It is easy though and the fact that Koz's is a bit older makes Atticus cock an eyebrow. Oh really. Sir, he knows a few reasons to talk like that and most of them involve not aging normally.]

A lot of things, actually. Things for the ship sometimes. Requests are fairly common. I've been showing them a few different styles of blades they can do as I'm experienced with quite a variety.

[Two questions, one answer.]

[You expected the guy with antlers to not be older than he looks? Shame on you.]

I see. So they aren't proper weaponsmiths then, I'll have to remember not to break mine or anyone else's then.

I'd be happy to spar with you, though I don't think it wise to do so until the weather improves. I'll even provide a meal as part of the occasion so long as you don't mind it being cooked over a campfire.

Not in some of the older styles that I'm used to anyway, they do well enough with the weapons of this world's culture. And I can almost guarantee I can mend anything you have that might need fixing.

[Okay he'd missed the antler bit initially. But that doesn't necessarily mean a whole lot. There's some city kid with green skin and some weirdly toad-like qualities running around here and he's actually a kid.]

I'm actually out of town for the moment anyway, though I should be back within the next day or two... And over a campfire is the best kind. [Screw grilling. Real men cook with fire.]

I think mine's a bit older than most anything you've seen.

[Eh, he's not bothered by it, and he's yet to meet the frog boy.]

That seems fine, I'm staying in the woods between the two cities. I'm not exactly used to so many people around and I tend to get along better with the trees anyway.

[It's pretty obviously a joke at himself.]

[Atticus has to laugh at that.]

That makes two of us. The forests here really are beautiful. [And then he cocks his head a little in an almost challenging manner.]

And I might surprise you with what I've seen

They are, though I haven't had a chance to fly over them properly.

[He just raises an eyebrow.]

I doubt you have seen a sword forged of starsteel.

Fly over? So you get some variety in your shapeshifting abilities I take it?

[What is that look? Geez don't underestimate him, Koz. But he just laughs it off, totally harmless Druid, really.]

Starsteel? [And switching back to English to make sure he got that right.] Not a term I'm familiar with, no.

[A nod, and back to english as well.]

More than a little.

[The entire animal kingdom actually.]

Yes, starsteel. Though it may go by a different name depending on where you're from.

I guess we'll see when I get back if you're still up for sparring. This starsteel sword of yours... what kind is it? Just so I know what kind of blade I should be getting.

[Not like he can use Moralltach for much. He still caries it around with him he's just keeping another, less fatal blade on him at all times now too. Paranoid? He liked to think of it as practical.]

It's roughly the size of a longsword, hand and a half grip. It's... unique.

[It's mostly that long because he's pretty tall himself.]

You can, of course bring whatever you'd prefer we use.

It just so happens that longswords are my favorite. [Though he doesn't have his favorite with him. Someday he'll stop missing Fragarach so badly.... maybe.]

I'll look you up when I get back to the city.

Just give a call and I'll be able to locate you if you'd like a guide to where I've set up a home.

Until then.
