[Po's sitting quietly at a table, dagger in hand and the tip sitting against the wood as he idly turns it. Liam is in wolf form nearby, laying beside a fire where it's most comfortable for him at the moment but never far from Po. His mismatched eyes seem focused on the dagger, they're at least directed towards it but it's his locket he speaks to, carefully propped against a small pile of books.]

How many people among us can say that they can fight?

[He lets that question hang.]

Now how many of you could fight blind?

Winter is on us and that, where I come from, can mean some very erratic weather. At least there we had the benefit of Graceling that could predict such weather and we'd know. We don't have that here. So what do we do if we find ourselves in battle but snowfall makes it hard to see, stings at your eyes? Retreat?

Granted, I doubt we may end up needing to fight a great deal if the weather turns to harsh. It's a skill that may save you though, during any season. And I'd be glad to train others in how to fight if you can't see.

Katsa and I have done it plenty of times. She will help. [Sorry not sorry, Katsa, for volunteering you.]

I've have some practice with fighting blind, but a refresher wouldn't hurt.

It never hurts. Especially when two of the Seven Kingdoms greatest Graceling fighters are offering to do the training.

I don't have the context that makes your titles sound impressive, but I'll take you up on the training. If you're as good as you're trying to convince me you are, even if you're only showing me things I already know, at least you'll be good competition.

That's fine. All that really matters is that we're willing and capable of teaching this skill. And you'll have both of us to test your skill against.

I'm game. Name your time and place. [and, hey, if this doesn't work out, at least he has an excuse to try and beat something up.]

In a couple days here in Caer Scima. We'll venture out further in our territory as well, if we have to. [That sounds like something Katsa would approve of.]

Looking forward to it.
