[ Video; Seelie Locked ]

[ Lancelot looks tired, dishevelled, but determined. He's at least free of injury now, and making an attempt to look some degree of... serious, collected. In control. He's also in the company of John Grimm, who while not exactly looking pleased probably looks a few degrees less wrecked. Lancelot takes a deep breath, and manages to force a small smile. Behind them appears to be the training yard of Caer Glaem, which is being slowly set up by a few soldiers milling around.

Lancelot's tone is quiet as he speaks, quieter than perhaps people who know him may be used to, but it is measured and firm still. Controlled.
]

For those who do not know me, my name is Lancelot. I am Field Marshal here in Caer Glaem. Those of you that do, however, may recall I ran a training session a month previous. John Grimm --

[ -- and Lancelot glances sideways to the man with him. ]

-- and I have been asked to run them as a regular effort henceforth.

[ Your go, John. ]

The both of us have experience fighting both at home and in the Drabwurld, if you’re worried about qualifications. If you don’t know how to fight, even to simply defend yourself, then we ask that you absolutely come. If you do know how to fight, we ask that you come anyway; if nothing else, this is a good chance to practice your skills and maybe learn a few new ones. The same applies if you use magic.

[ A pause and, though it looks like saying this pains him, John adds: ]

Though we do ask that you not use lethal force. Training weapons will be provided as needed, and we will have healers standing by at each session.


[ Lancelot hesitates, nods approval finally as he tries to work out other things they need to cover. Right. Be encouraging, sound like you know what you’re talking about Lancelot. You just declared yourself supposedly in charge. Try to seem like you deserve that. ]

The training yard here will be set up to allow any who wish it to come and go as they please. We will try to attend every day but if we are not on hand some of the soldiers will always be here. Even the strongest of soldiers can benefit, fighting styles are different here in the Drabwurld. The shard that sits inside your chest can be used to amplify your strength and speed, and I will happily pass on the art to any who ask. As much as that, you are of course welcome to help us train if you have the experience. We will not turn away help.

We know that many of you do not want to take part in this war. That’s fine. But the Drabwurld is dangerous, and it’s not just the war that makes it that way. We can help you learn how to keep yourself alive in the event that something happens.

[ A pause, and he glances sideways at Lancelot, then nods slightly to himself. ]


[ Lancelot offers John a tiny smile, than turns back to the locket and inclines his head a little. ]

Thank you for your time.

[ Will that do? That’ll do. ]

[ OOC; Log if anyone wants to play out training! ]
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[...HMMMMMMMmmmMMMmmmMMMMmmmMMMMmm...]

Well, I'm a bit confident in my existing magical abilities, but the shards affect things, you say...? Well, I'm never one to turn down a resource like that, and I suppose it couldn't hurt to get used to the local climate. Are either of you trained in the arts of magic, then?

[It doesn't sound like it to him, but it can't hurt to ask.]

[ Thalia was a new arrival, sure, but she was also one of the best fighters from back home. However, it wasn't quite the idea of improving her skills that caught her attention. ]

The shard in our chest can amplify our strength and speed? Would you mind teaching me? [ a beat ] In return, I can help train others. I have experience with spears, bow and arrow, and knives. At least, those are my main choice of ordinary weapons. [ Just... don't mind the fact she looks sixteen. ]

Are you offering to teach?

Is that why you mention me mentioning it?
parallels: (AN ALIEN FOR A HOBBY ★ that's how we do)

[personal profile] parallels 2014-10-03 03:45 am (UTC)(link)
I'd like that very much.

[And she catches that playfulness and counters!]

Or maybe I'll take you both and maximize my output.

If you want to learn, I'll teach you whatever I can, provided I know what the hell I'm doing to teach it.

Considering my already strong abilities, I would much rather not leave things to accident.

[Diarmuid likes knowing all the stakes when it comes to battle. Otherwise, it is far too easy to let down those you are protecting, and he has two people he very much wants to stay safe even though he has only been here a short time.]

When will you be starting your training?

You'd have to ask Lancelot about that. He knows more than I do about them.

Though I'd guess "sometimes leaving behind craters".

Today.

[ John knows the feeling. ]

And every day after that, though obviously none of it's mandatory. The way things go around here, some of us will get called off to do something sooner or later.

I want to learn everything.

Anything you can teach, I'll learn.

I can heal. [ Not exactly used for fighting, that. ] And I have an artifact that lets me manipulate earth.

If we minded teaching, we wouldn't have offered.

[ John is less than thrilled about all the kids pulled into this, but. Well. He's been here long enough to know that some of them have already been in wars. He doesn't have to like it -- he just has to keep them alive. ]

And we won't turn away help.

I will be happy to learn and to teach as well if you wish me to. I taught many a man while I was the leader of the Fianna and they were my land's greatest heroes. I am sure there is much we can learn from each other.

Considering you already know the dangers of arrogance, I have a feeling our views on fighting will match up very well.

[A curious look crosses Diarmuid's face.]

Do you mind if I ask you a question?

[ arya is practically grabby hands-ing at this. why does she have to be so far away?]

For how long?

Bow! Bow is good. I don't have to get up close, right? I'm sorta clumsy.

[ Truth be told, this whole thing was still a little far fetched. She's figuring if she just rolls with it she'll wake up one day, back safe and home at Julliard. ]

So this is what my Aransadorien is up to.
