[ Anyone who knows Kyrii by now knows that he isn't much of a talker. He's a listener. Well, he's more of a 'stare-er' actually.

But being trapped in a cave and trying to keep everyone relatively safe, even if it meant being stabbed by tree-creatures to do so... He's realizing that not everyone is very capable in taking care of themselves in a fight.

He might as well do something useful with everyone's time and open up a little. ]

Does everyone here... know how to protect themselves?

[ He's sure he's probably the hundredth person to offer what he's about to.

Oh well. ]

If you don't...

Let me know.

I could use further lessons. Are you offering, ser? (How can she forget him?)

[naw]

[the video is slightly off-center, so only the top half of her head can be seen.]

Are you offering to teach how to fight with weapons? Or hand-to-hand combat?

(Video)

[citytraveler]

( He remembers her too. And her blade. )

Yes.

I can meet you when you're ready.

[stonebird]

How do I need to prepare? (She is already tying back her hair, nervous but focused. Being physical does not come naturally to her, but she needs to learn.)

[ He gives a small squint to make out what he can from the image, but quickly stops to continue on with his stoic facade. ]

Both.

[naw]

Mmh... [thinking it over. she never had the need to use weapons or her fists, being what she is, but her dragonstone is finite and acquiring another one would likely be difficult after it eventually breaks. well, as long as the opportunity is presenting itself...]

I'd like to train with weapons. Just weapons. I'm afraid my fists would be rather useless by themselves.

[citytraveler]

For now... control your breathing.

( He stands from the feed, then brings it up with him. )

Where are you?

(Video)

[stonebird]

(Well that is ominous.)

I am at my home in Delight's Housing; number eight.

[ He might not be the first, but it's still appreciated. Especially from a guardsman. ]

There will always be those in need of assistance. It is good of you to offer.

What are you offering to teach? I've mostly protected myself here with magic, so far, not combat.

I have people who will protect me and Dr. Brennan offered to teach me self-defense. I know how to shoot too.

Are you offering self-defense lessons too? Or do just want to know who's vulnerable?

[citytraveler]

Mn.

[ He can't see her body type in the video to decide if she should get even the basics of hand-to-hand, but weapon training will be better than nothing. ]

Which weapon?

video

[citytraveler]

[ Good. He wouldn't call it that. ]

...Necessary.

[citytraveler]

[ Kyrii isn't familiar with real magic. Though the technology he's seen in his lifetime could be mistaken as such. ]

Weapons. Hand to hand. Escaping. Hunting.

What do you need to learn?

video

[citytraveler]

...

Yes. [ To both questions. ]

I can't protect everyone at once.

(Video)

[citytraveler]

Go outside.

( No time like the present. The feed cuts as he makes his way over to Delight's neighborhood. )

(( ooc: can go action, if you want! or handwave? ))

[naw]

Swords, lances, axes, daggers... anything with a blade should suffice, I'd wager. [blunt weapons could also work, but sharp objects are generally more effective in her experience.]

Maybe daggers, to start. They would be easier to carry.

[citytraveler]

[ A subtle nod. Smaller blades are much faster in his opinion. He prefers his own knife compared to larger weapons. ]

When?

video

[am_i_a_monster]

I don't know how smart it is for people to publicly admit they can't defend themselves.

Would you? Protect people?

video

[citytraveler]

Yes.

[ Especially if they can't protect themselves. He's basically hardwired. ]

I need to.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

Why? Was there someone you couldn't protect once?

video

[citytraveler]

[ A silence. It isn't the exact reason. It isn't wrong either. ]

More than once.

video

[am_i_a_monster]

I'm sorry. I know, sort of know, what that's like.

[naw]

Anytime. My current schedule is depressingly bare. [she's been spending the majority of her time in the library, even if there isn't anything very useful in there.]

I get the feeling you don't talk much. Can I have your name, at least? Mine's Nah.

Their importance wasn't to me.
