Does anyone on this ship have any experience with a sword? I mean, I would prefer it if you've done more than just look at it, but even the most hopeless have to start somewhere.

I would suggest the lance but it seems a little impractical here. There's always the mace. Or if you have your own weapon of choice, I'm willing to learn.

[You can't keep his sword.]

You have your own sword?

[But how will she train.]

Not here. [Which is why I'm using your stupid heavy one.]

[onceandfutureprat]

[Guess she'll just have to hang out with him and train.]

"Why not?"

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Because they won't give it back to me. [Hey you're a warden, you could get it for her. c:]

[Welp, she grows up to look like her, so. :|]

Does it matter?

"What did you even do?"

Nothing. [...that wasn't deserved.]

[Yeah he wasn't really buying that.]

Admitting it is the first step.

[Careful, she will swing this sword again. :|] Why are you here?

"My home was invaded by an immortal army. I made a deal with the Admiral to save it."

[Interest. Piqued. :c] Were they wights?

[Lolwhat.] "Uhno. Before they served the witch Morguase they were normal men."

There's a witch? [These sound like Good Things To Know, and she wishes she could report them to the kindly man. She wishes she was at the House, wishes Syrio wasn't dead so he could teach her. Wishes are good for nothing, though, so she does her best to drop them.]

What happened to them?

"The curse was broken. They died. So did the witch."

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

Then what do you need the Admiral for?

"All of this happened after I made the deal. I had to see it through, to make sure my people were safe."

[What.] You only just got here.

"I'm paying my debt."

SPAM

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

I didn't know you could do that. [Fucking Admiral, okay, he makes no sense. She toys with her sword, turning it in her hands.]

Do you know how to dance? [Up comes the sword, and she tries to hold it in one hand. Her arm starts shaking.]

SPAM

[onceandfutureprat]

"Generally swords aren't involved in dancing."

SPAM

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[EYEROLL.] They are in waterdancing. [Down goes the sword. SHE WANTS NEEDLE.] I learned it.

SPAM

[onceandfutureprat]

"How do you... 'waterdance' then?"

Re: SPAM

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She drops into a waterdancer's stance, one hand on her hip, the other lifting the sword for maybe five second before she just lets it go and mimes.]

It's not like hacking and slashing like knights do. It's more...[What is the word, it's not something she really applies to herself or things she does.] Graceful.
