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.

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."

Then what do you need the Admiral for?

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.]

[onceandfutureprat]

"Generally swords aren't involved in dancing."

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

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

[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.

"If you get a sword that you can actually manage, I would like to see it."

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[She hesitates for a moment or two, then straightens, picking up his sword again.] Would you teach me? Even if it's just stupid knight sword fighting. [Lol she's good at asking favors.]

[onceandfutureprat]

[So good at it. Arthur raises an eyebrow at her.]

"Alright. If you actually listen to everything I say."

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

If you're a good teacher, I will. [But she can't quite stop the dorky smile because. Excite. She hasn't held more than a broken broom in forever.]

[Shit you remind him of little Morgana.] "Good. Is there something I need to do to help you get your sword?"

SPAM

[fearcutsdeeperthanswords]

[Shit Morgana would be her bff, this will be hard.] ...You could tell my warden. McCoy. I'll ask him again. [YOU ARE GETTING SO MANY POINTS RIGHT NOW, SER.]

"I will do that, little Cat."

[sob it's like an extra Jon. She holds the sword out to him, and then, almost an afterthought:] Thank you.
