[It's been two days since Charles had regained feeling in his legs again. The note pinned on his door had been vague and at first he'd thought it was another trick, or something temporary. Since then he'd been slipping by invisibly using his telepathy when possible in order to avoid attention while he made sense of the change. Acceptance was still an ongoing process.
But he'd also started to think about contingency plans, which is why he's making his first appearance on the network.]
I'm not exactly equipped for life in this land. Where I'm from, we haven't used horses to get around in seventy-odd years and nobody learns archery or how to swordfight anymore except for sport. It's a bit of a disadvantage, given the circumstances.
So. I need teachers. [The irony of being the pupil for once is not lost on him.] And if you've met me, and you're wondering how - well. That issue seems to have been taken care of.
[He drums his fingers a few times on the table from nervous energy and gives a quick smile. But moving on - ]
In another matter altogether, I would be grateful if anyone would be willing to share with me what magic is like in their world since it's woven into everyday life here and seems to vary so much. It's a new concept for me but I'm interested in learning more if you have the time and the patience.

Well, there's a lot to be said for adapting. [Even if he's neglected it a lot, recently. As for the question - ]
The one I can learn quickest that will stop me from getting killed. [He gives Nuada the look of someone who knows he's made a bad joke.] I'm afraid I'm not all that knowledgeable about martial arts - I've been a scholar for most of my life. I suppose the basics would be best and then deciding where to move on from there.
