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.

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.]

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

[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.

[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.]

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

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.]

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