((OOC: Ohgosh, must break up hiatus posts. D= ))

Would anyone happen to have enough free time in the evenings to teach me how to fight?

Just the basics would be fine, and I wouldn't be asking you to do it for free.

I think going on like this... being a completely inexperienced fighter... might be more of a danger than anything out there in the woods. I don't know why I feel I need to learn how to use these things. I guess it's because they're there. They came here with me, so they must have some importance. Right? Why would I have weapons if my aim is so terrible in the first place? Or perhaps I have to remember how to fight in order to use them properly.

Oh? You want to learn how to fight?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Yes, that's right.

This staff is just going to collect dust otherwise, and you never know what might happen around this place. Being prepared in a worse case scenario would be useful.

[blazing-style.livejournal.com]

Knowing how to defend yourself is something everyone should know.

Well, I happen to run a bit of a training...thing in my spare time. I could show you a few pointers if you want.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Yes, I think so too.

Are you sure?
That would be wonderful. I'd really appreciate any help you could offer me. I don't mind working hard, so please don't go easy on me just because I'm a girl.

[blazing-style.livejournal.com]

Heh, you don't need to worry about that. I don't hold back just because someone's a girl.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Just wanted to make sure.

So in that case... great. I'll be looking forward to it.

[frumpyface.livejournal.com]

Fighting how? A specific style?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I...
Don't really know.

Throwing knives are long distance weapons, aren't they? And a staff has a long range, so...

[frumpyface.livejournal.com]

Oh, I see. I'm afraid I can't help then, I'm almost exclusively magic.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

It's alright.
I'm not sure if magic's possible for me.

[frumpyface.livejournal.com]

Most people are capable, it's just a question of potential.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Hmm...

It sounds like an interesting topic, if nothing else.

[prayfortomorrow.livejournal.com]

Miii! I can show you what Ed taught me! ( nothing useful... but maybe cute? )

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Hmmm?
What exactly did Mr. Ed teach you?

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

You want to learn how to fight? Huh. I'd help you, but I only know how to use guns.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I don't have any desire to learn to use guns, since I have no real desire to take a human life if I don't need to. It seems like it would be a difficult weapon to use without seriously injuring someone...

But thanks for the sentiment.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Ahh, I see. That's very honorable of you! I don't want to use my guns to kill anyone, but I definitely enjoy shooting at targets and stuff. It's fun!

Anytime. Let me know if you change your mind!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I guess that could be rather fun if you look at it that way. Maybe I can come watch you sometime.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Yeah, that'd be great! You're welcome to watch anytime!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Thanks. I'll be sure to do that then.

[bulletserenade.livejournal.com]

Awesome! I'm looking forward to it!

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Me too.
Just let me know when you plan to practice with targets again.

[captured-maiden.livejournal.com]

Is being able to fight something that is necessary..?

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I don't suppose it's necessary, but it couldn't hurt.

[captured-maiden.livejournal.com]

I've just seen several people talking about it. It's somewhat...unsettling.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

I'm sorry that it makes you feel so uncomfortable.

If I ever become a reliable fighter, I'd like to help protect the residents here who can't defend themselves.

Like that could ever happen...

[captured-maiden.livejournal.com]

I - no, there's nothing to apologise for.

That would be good, of course. I just wish it wasn't necessary, I suppose.

Good luck, though.

[a-severed-fate.livejournal.com]

Maybe I'm just being overly cautious.

Thank you. I'll do my best.
