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.

Yeah, I agree, it's really useful, I just don't think I've ever heard someone offer lessons before! It's pretty great when you think about it.

Mind if people attend lessons as spectators?
