Good day, I am Balder Odinson, brother to Thor and Loki and former King of Asgard.

I have been here but a short time but already I have met those who are not warriors. It seems dangerous to walk these streets unable to defend oneself, so I would be happy to teach any comers the basics. I am a swordsman and can teach hand-to-hand and other forms and weaponry as well as defensive strategies.

For those who can already fight, I invite you to spar with me. I have been fighting the same enemy for too long, and that tends to dull one's abilities.

Another king?

[It's as if every other day another one shows up.]

I would be amenable to sparring, Messere, if you want.

Re: voice;

Another. Though I no longer rule due to my death.

Then I would look forward to it. What is your area of expertise?

[ladyspitfire]

My condolences, ser. You are not the first king to arrive past his death.

[And she truly does sound remorseful of this fact.]

I wield two longswords.

Perhaps our captors have certain preferences. I suppose they are hoping for those who are used to leadership.

[He sighs. He hates leadership.]

I as well--or a sword and an ax. But I appear to have lost one. No matter.

[ladyspitfire]

I believe they hope to amass an army of many different individuals, including those who can provide support, healing, and other non-combatant skills.

[She knows that feel.]

Likewise. Are you at the training hall?

[dusk_and_dawn]

[He nods.] But I am used to everyone being able to defend themselves, whereas I understand many humans cannot.

I can find it soon enough.
