I have not been in this time for very long but I've been feeling out of place these past few weeks, not simply because of my surroundings but because of the technology here. I'm curious of the more advanced weaponry that people use now. More importantly, that there are so many who know how to use them with relative ease.

[As a commander, it makes her feel disadvantaged, especially since most of these weapons are so much more powerful than a simple sword and shield.]

If anyone would be willing, I would like to learn how to use these weapons or, better yet, to be able to defend myself from them. Should one of these missions send me to a time after my own, I'd be in quite a bit of trouble. [She smiles.] I can't offer anything in return but my gratitude, though I can teach you swordplay, if you would like. Or, if you would prefer, I know how to make traps and poultices.

[Her smile turns into a full-fledged smirk.]

And for those who are ambitious, I could show you how to steal valuables off of a passerby without them ever noticing they're missing their purse.

[Once a rogue, always a rogue. Sorry, kids.]

I would like for us to meet and discuss things. We've all done a good job of outright avoiding one another since the training module and I think it's time we get down to business. There are things I'd like to discuss with all of you.

[And though her tone is light, her gaze is hard.]

We'd need a meeting place, of course, and it shouldn't be a terribly long gathering...but we've been putting this off for far too long.

[GOD Elissa, how can you talk about stealing in a public forum?]

My home should suffice for the meeting place, if it's needed.

[Anora's going to want to eavesdrop anyway, right? Might as well make it easier for her. Besides, he'd -- hate to completely leave her out of the loop, as silly as that sounds.]

[She does what she wants!!]

Although I appreciate the offer...Anora would be there, wouldn't she?

Oh, undoubtedly so.

[He frowns.]

Perhaps -- somewhere else.

[A Grey Warden meeting. Oh, that sounds like so much fun. :'| But Bethany isn't one to shirk her duty, so she does her best to keep her expression and tone neutral.]

Just tell me when and where, I suppose.

[ladyspitfire]

When I find a place, I'll let you know. I want us to meet in the next day or so if that's all right.

All right. I would offer up my space, but I imagine you would prefer something a little more... private.

I'm fine with that, but what exactly needs to be discussed while we're here? Our usual duties don't entirely apply...

Voice; Filtered to the Grey Wardens

[ladyspitfire]

Not necessarily, no. But we need to discuss how much about the Wardens people should be exposing to strangers, for one.

[uncalled_for]

No more than what someone from Thedas would know, I'd assume.

But is discussing things here really a good idea? The others dragged here aren't exactly our only audience to worry about. Where are we even having the meeting?

[Elissa had always been good at sounding authoritative, and though he pretty much has been avoiding most people since the training, he doesn't even dream of not replying to her summons.]

I'm willing to meet anytime; we can use our apartment if you'd like.

[ladyspitfire]

[Nate's apartment is definitely quieter and more private. It also meant that Anders couldn't slither out of the meeting.]

I'd be grateful if we could. When would be best for you and Anders, since we'd be using your apartment?

[Good luck with making Anders do anything he doesn't want to do.]

Evenings are best for both of us, perhaps in the next day or so? As you said, we've put this off for long enough.

This is payback for all those mage meetings, isn't it.

[grumpyface. Anders is only sort of a Warden. He ran away from the Wardens!]

[Sword play? Cool, his inner 10 year old is intrigued and wishes to subscribe to your newsletter.]

I was a cop where I was from, a law enforcer. I can teach you the proper way to safely discharge a firearm. I'm not entirely up to date on the new stuff here. It's probably way closer to the weapons of my time than yours anyway.

[ladyspitfire]

I've heard of these 'cops' before but I've never seen one in person. Anything you could teach me would be most appreciated, truly.

[whatsupcroc]

Let me get this straight -- you're offering thievery lessons?

[ladyspitfire]

If that's what someone would want, yes. I do not know what sorts of missions we will be sent on, but it could come in handy. I've stolen maps and documents off of people before that have saved people's lives.

Most of this stuff is right out of science fiction, and I understand how that must sound coming from someone like me.

But, I can probably figure out any weapon they have you want to try and use. I don't need anything in return, I just rather have someone with a big gun watching my back when things get tough.

[ladyspitfire]

I... Yes, I suppose that's what it sounds like.

[She looks at him curiously.]

I can offer you my blade in battle but I cannot use a gun as of yet. Would that suffice?

[bratworth]

You're encouraging petty thievery on a public network.

[ Really. ]

[ladyspitfire]

I am encouraging practiced thievery, messere. And only with good intentions, of course.

[boughtabookstore]

If you want to learn how to use a gun, I'm willing to teach you.

[ladyspitfire]

I would appreciate that.
