[Video | Seelie Locked] Rule 2
[Joshua appears to be out in the courtyard. As always, he's relaxed and casual. However, he also seems thoughtful.]
A calm before the storm.
[It seems like he doesn't realize he's said this aloud, as he moves on without further comment.]
Well, since it seems to be of greater necessity now than over the past year, I've given some thought as to alternate weapons I could use. I've been able to narrow it down to magic and archery. [His smile is almost sardonic.] I'm afraid I don't have many, or any, of the qualities necessary for pursuit in close combat weapons. On that note, I also wouldn't object to learning how to more effectively utilize my shard, especially since recent events indicate that we may have more of a need to learn.
[Joshua has an avid interest in keeping himself alive, thank you very much. He's also not stupid enough to think that he'll be safe from combat situations.]
Oh, and before I forget! I have one, teensy little thing I'd like to know. I love fiction books as much as the next person, and I have something of a passion for history. I'd like to take some recommendations on what are good books to read. With luck, I can see about reading them in Caer Glaem's impressive library.
[...Yeah, because history books are totally considered "light reading," Joshua.]
Alternatively, I also like to hear about the latest gossip.
[He gives a little wave before signing off.]

[As for the library, she's still slowly combing through it herself. So she can't say much in the way of recommendations there but this is at least something of a start to try help.]
video;
You aren't the first one to offer, but I wouldn't mind having two teachers...or at least a partner to practice with. As for Sir Lancelot, I've heard he does offer lessons. [He'd even been interested in Lancelot being his teacher for a moment.] However, with the Cult's activities becoming more dangerous and active, I felt it best to seek a different teacher rather than be a distraction from where he's needed.
[Because sometimes Joshua can be considerate. But only sometimes.]
video;
[Consider. But then, chances are there are those more familiar with the shards that have been here longer and could be of more help where that is concerned. At least, she figures and hopes so.]
video;
Oh, and I suppose I should introduce myself. I'm Joshua.
video;
Joshua. It's nice to meet you. I'm Snow.
video;
[Because. You know. Let's not accidentally kill a Seelie soldier while in the capital of Glaschu.]
Charming. [
No, she's Snow.] The pleasure is all mine.video;
[Yeah. Lets. Not go that far. Even if both of them have actually killed before. Though there is a slight eyebrow raise and small smile at that.]
Of course. I admit I've not actually really taught with the shards before but I'll do my best if necessary. Archery I am more familiar with at least.
video;
[Yeah, but those deaths had purpose to them instead of...being accidents....]
Then we shall work on archery first. It will be easier to get an idea of how we are in a teacher-student relationship before plunging into something like shard magic.
video;
[Something to sort out later, in any case. Letting him know even if he might find someone else. Better he be aware of that now than later.]
video;
[Well, looks like he's got a good reason to spend his gold, now.]
Are there any recommendations on who I can ask about that? Or if that's something that I can acquire in Caer Glaem?
