[Ikaruga appears on the network with a serene look on her face. She's currently polishing her sword tidily in her lap, keeping it shiny and well-maintained.]

Good evening, fellow residents of Hadriel. There is a certain peace of mind that comes from being capable of defending oneself. Exercise is an excellent way to stay healthy as well.

[She continues polishing the sword at an unhurried, deliberate pace before looking up again.]

That being said, I have decided to offer lessons in the art of the sword. I am also willing to be a sparring partner to those who already have training. If anyone is interested, kindly reply here or send me a private message.


[Filtered to Team Tranquility]

I propose a friendly competition. Whomever makes the most people from other teams feel tranquil will receive a home cooked meal from me.

Maybe it will help. People should be safe. [Or as safe as it gets around here anyway]

That's a generous offer, Ikaruga. [Danse has zero chance at winning the prize, but hopefully someone else in their team will be motivated to work hard for it.]

I didn't get a chance to properly thank you for your help the other day as well. You move very quickly.

[ He's too lazy for video honestly. Even though that isn't really totally helpful in this situation... ]

I suppose I'll take you up on that offer for a spar. This place tends to get pretty dull.

Then I shall ensure that I win.

[Bear witness to the determination of a man who went from having kitchen staff who made the finest fare to fending for himself with whatever Hadriel's shelves stocked. Over a year of deprivation and bad food... there's no greater motivation.]

I don't know too many people who've used swords. Not very easy to carry around, is it?

[Not very easy to hide is more what he's thinking. Which makes him even more baffled at how Maria gets away with two.]

I would be interested in learning more about blades.

However the only experience I have is with a knife. Would that be a problem?

[May as well get that out of the way if it turns out to be an issue.]

What would you ask in payment for lessons? I've been taking lessons from another but it would always be good to have another perspective.
