[the video opens with a sixteen year old girl who is doing her best to appear self-assured and confident. she's in armor and she's sitting ramrod straight in a plain, wooden chair. she takes a deep breath and speaks]

Hello. My name is Lady Mariane Cousland and I'm looking for sparring partners. I use a sword and dagger, but I'm willing to fight with any kind of swordsman. Or swordswoman.

I'm also willing to teach others to fight, so please let me know if you'd be interested in that.

[she looks away from the camera briefly, as though debating with herself whether or not to say anything more]

Any responses would be very much appreciated. Thank you.

What about magic? If you don't mind spells lobbed your way, I can give you a good work out.

[theladyofhighever]

Magic would be wonderful! [she both looks and sounds eager] Fighting mages takes its own kind of skill. Thank you.

[a pause]

It is good to see you again, Lup.

[restinglichface]

Always nice to see a familiar face. But for sure, I'd be happy to give you a little firepower for your training sesh. Just say the word.

[theladyofhighever]

Yes, very much so. And I tend to rise at dawn. I have Guard duty protecting the Clinic for part of the day, but other than that my days are my own. When would work best for you?

[restinglichface]

Whenevs. No responsibilities here. Early works for fine for this chick.

Thank you. Should I bring something along to eat or drink for breakfast?

[restinglichface]

Wouldn't say no to a nice coffee.

[theladyofhighever]

[eagerly] I can provide coffee. Would you like sugar or cream? Or both?

[restinglichface]

Hit me with a little cream. No sugar.

[theladyofhighever]

All right, it is yours.
