[Sango doesn't waste much time once she gets the feed on.]

A few things.

First... I would like to have some sparring partners and some teachers. While I'm good with my own weapons, it's pretty clear that they're not advanced enough to take on the UE's technology. If someone would be able to show me how to use something more effective, maybe some sort of gun, I'd be grateful and would do something in return. I think other people have already offered, but I'm also open to instructing in swordsmanship and related combat things.

Second, I wanted to say thank you to those of you who have been concerned or helped me out lately, both in arriving here and in... well, recent events. It means a lot.

Third. [She hesitates, wondering how to phrase this.] Say that someone from your world, who's... from later in time, tells you something bad happens in your future. You don't trust the person who says it, but they don't exactly have a good reason to lie about it at this point. What...

[Where is she even going with this? Sango stops abruptly and her frown is nearly palpable on the feed.]

You know what, never mind. Just sparring partners and teachers and thank-yous are all, I guess.

That's true... and there's always the possibility that things will be exactly the same even if you want to change them.

[strategic_guile]

It might turn out the same because you were trying to change your future and ended up doing all the things that made that future come to pass. If that makes sense.

[taijiya]

Um, yeah. And it's rather disheartening, isn't it?

[She gives a faint chuckle.]

[strategic_guile]

Yeah... it is. Try not to think about it.

[taijiya]

Anyway... I'm Sango.

[strategic_guile]

I'm Blaine. Good to meet you Sango. I wish it was under better circumstances.

[Pause]

Did you have a time you wanted to train?

[taijiya]

Not for a few days... I've got some eye problems clearing up.

But other than that, my schedule is fairly free. I prefer mornings, though.

[strategic_guile]

Mornings suite me fine. We can set a date or you can ping me when you're ready. Either way works for me.

[taijiya]

I'll contact you, I think. Thank you.
