[Video | Seelie Locked] Rule 2

[prissykid]

[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.]

Wonderful. Does Saturday afternoon on the grounds of Caer Glaem work?

[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.

Sure. I'll be there.

[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.

Wonderful! I look forward to meeting you in person.

[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.

Of course. That sounds fine to me. Archery could be easier to start with anyway. Then later if you need me to help with the shard we can work up to that. Though for that we might need enchanted weapons. Activating the shard does make us a lot stronger, so we would be prone to damaging normal weapons.

[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.]

Hm, that sounds like a problem.

[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?

Depends on the weapon? I know the dwarves and their forging can enchant weapons. But then I'm not sure they exactly allow visitors. I was told and taught this from Lancelot so perhaps he would know some recommendations. I myself favor a bow but I know swords seem the more traditional and preferred weapon for the most part.
