I've been reviewing some of your running times. I'm not impressed. We need to get some serious training in if we want to be ready to perform. I'm working on a new regimen right now. I want to get everyone on it immediately.

I've noticed a lot of different styles of both swordplay and dance here in Union. Is anybody particularly proficient in either? I'd like to learn some of Union's techniques, if possible.

Oh, it is. Parrying, attacking from multiple angles, looking so cool no one wants to bother fighting you...

I can give you some basics in not cutting your nose off if you think it'd improve your act.

Sure! I'd love to learn!

Great! I'm available most days before happy hour.

How does tomorrow around 2 sound then? I think the Swords have a pretty good training ground, as do the Rangers.

Lets stick with the Rangers. I get on with them a bit better than the Swords.

Right. I'll see you then.

[The Rangers, being largely busy outside the city, don't concern themselves too much with who's using their facilities, and anyway, once you looked past her fashion sense, Isabela clearly knew what she was doing.]

This seems to be my week for meeting women with nice blades. That's a nice, traditional dueling weapon there.

Thank you. I've had this sword for quite some time. It's an old friend.

((Kinda ignored this during the event. We can continue or drop as you like.))

I have a sword like that myself. Unfortunately one of his blades turned into a shield when he evolved, so I'll be sticking with the mundane long-knives today.

So, first question, how are you at using your off-hand for writing or throwing or the like?

Action

[swanna_lake]

Usually I keep my hand open for balance. I sometimes use it for a bit of extra power on a strike.

[Isabela nods.]

You'll probably be better off parrying or showing off with your off-hand and concentrating on striking with that rapier. Now...

[She tosses Eli a small weighted club.]

That's to get used to balancing with before you risk putting your eye out. Hold that and let's see your stance

[Eli looks at the club curiously before taking a low stance, her blade held forward in her right hand and the club in her left to the side. It looks a bit awkward.]
