[ 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! ]

Oh. [ Well, when she puts it like that, he guesses he can see what she means. ]

Well. Thank you, then.
topmodel: ([matter] - no sound in my head)

Trying will have to do for now. At what time in the day should I look for you?
wroughtsteel: (To mind the children.)

Oh. That is... a very generous gift.

[ And an incredible power as well. Not the healing, but the fact that these monarchs could bestow them on another like so. Certainly not an ability she has seen or even heard of before. ]

You know Hermione? [ A thoughtful pause. ] Does she come from the same place as you?
bullhorned: (Recalculating)

Field Marshal? How did you manage that?

[It wasn't that Lancelot wasn't good! But he hadn't heard about him getting some fancy position in the court!]

[Diarmuid shakes his head.]

I highly doubt you could ever be a disappointment, Sir Lancelot. Please, don't worry about that.

[There is no way such a great knight could ever disappoint him...]

I can do that. Bows are my specialties, and I've fought with a spear since I was a kid. I think I can teach them a thing or two. As for knives, I know mostly how to use them with close combat with monsters and combining them with my abilities.

I can also work with anyone on shield defense.

Sounds like a plan. You look like you could handle any punks.
enjoymyatelier: no seriously what are you doing (uhhhhhhhh....)

...ah, really...?

[Kayneth knows that for all he knows, there's a chance magic could exist where this man is from but is well hidden, but he's not about to actually say that.

He has a distaste for this, but he suspects it wouldn't be terribly diplomatic to say that he does, so...]


What is it that you do where you're from, then?

Right, and I'm just a guy who knows a few simple eight-counts. [Arrogant. It's a little arrogant but hey man, he just got back from home and now has the knowledge he made it into Juilliard. He's allowed to be a little obnoxious in this case.] You're a man of legends.

[But he's relieved, nevertheless.] Thank you. We'll probably be by together so you can meet her if you guys are there.

[Is it? He's quiet for a second, and even though he responds the look he's giving Lancelot doesn't quite match what he's saying.]

Yeah, you're probably right.

[In Ryan's mind, it doesn't matter that the stories may or may not be real. All stories have to be based off of some little form of truth and so he's just sort of assuming that Lancelot is, in fact, just someone from several centuries prior to his own.]
bullhorned: (Let's have a look see...)

[personal profile] bullhorned 2014-10-05 11:46 pm (UTC)(link)
[She? They had a female field marshal? Well, perhaps that was not so strange. He sailed with a female captain.]

What's your king say about that, eh?
wroughtsteel: (And yet I know not.)

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-05 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope for that as well. [ She inclines her head. ] Though my questions now are of mere curiosity: you say the sword is your preferred weapon, are you a warrior then - a knight?
enjoymyatelier: actually, it totally will. (aha! a plan that will not end in failure)

[video]

[personal profile] enjoymyatelier 2014-10-06 12:39 am (UTC)(link)
I see... well, that's certainly worth knowing, then. I need to set some things up in my quarters and test out the conditions for using magic here anyway, so I intend on doing that first... but perhaps later, then, when I'm sure things are quiet.

That will serve for the time being. I'll come to see you soon.
