[when the feed comes on, Grell looks calm, put together, in more practical clothing than her favoured dresses. it's early morning, and the sunlight is illuminating the space outside where she is.]

Right then. The call to arms has been proclaimed once again, and I'm more than aware that there are those of us who either know little about what's expected of us, or who have let their joints rust over in the calm.

That ends today. Preparations at the Ward have been re-established for the month, and if you are uncertain in your abilities, wish to try something out, or need to know which end of a sword to grab, attend the training sessions that will be held there for shardbearers and natives alike. Beginner's sessions are in the morning like always, eight thirty sharp, and that's being generous. Advanced sessions are in the afternoon, but that's hardly an excuse to sleep in too late - if last time has taught us anything, it is that we need to be the sharpest we can.

Those that are confident enough in their skills that believe themselves capable of giving instruction, wherever you are in Allaidh Darach, please make yourself known to me - I can hardly carry out this task on my own. I'll be running on good faith, but if I hear that you can't live up to your claims, you will be ousted and I'll see to it that you know exactly what I think of you wasting students' time.

[ For the most part, the video, voice, and text messages which have come through Eggsy's locket thing haven't applied to him. This is the first time that he's gone so far as to respond, because it looks like someone is finally taking charge around here.

Some girl with long red hair and teeth that look like they've been shaved into points, but after meeting Mewtwo, Eggsy hardly blinks. ]

What exactly are you gonna be teaching? Just how to use a sword, or...?

[ Granted, that alone would be enough. Eggsy's all too aware of how limited his supply of weaponry is, and he's going to need to learn some other skills if he wants to be an effective fighter here. ]

[ zuko remembers when he'd tried to train a few people in the drabwurld a year back. he isn't so sure if they're still doing their homework. if they're anything like sokka, they won't be. but he hopes that had been useful, even though he'd emulated the fire nation more than he had the drabwurld. maybe that's what they need, though, a flame burning under their asses to ensure their survival. ]

Hey, Grell.

[ zuko's calm and content, despite the most recent arrival. he thinks to tell grell he can't make it, wanting to focus solely on preparing azula for a battle that's different to the ones at home, but it's not fair of him to do so. if he can help out their people, then that's where he needs to be. ]

I'll be there at eight. [ and he says it with a flicker of a cheeky smile. ]

Still in need of instructors, Lady Grell? I can spare a day a week for fire-based sword combat.

Somehow I didn't think of you as the type to teach. [He looks...a little worse for the wear in comparison to when they'd spoken last, but he's still sort of entertained by the thought of Grell barking orders at people.] I can't really act as an instructor but I've been training with a couple of things for the last year. I might be able to help for demonstrations or just practice or whatever if you need an extra hand.
