[ 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! ]

good lord i thought i replied to this D8
It is not bold at all, I'd be happy to tell you. Mine revolves around nature. I can do some things outside my element, but that is largely where it is focused. To be more specific, my powers revolve around plants, and to a slightly lesser degree, animals.
Here, allow me.
[It helps that she's in her lab and has some spare flower pots filled with soil. She reaches to grab one (and in so doing makes it apparent that she is not holding her locket; perhaps she's put it on a stand of some kind) and sets it in front of her. A hand glows green and something rather quickly and visibly starts to sprout from the pot before it becomes a flower.]
Do not worry!
is
enchanted. He has the look of a wide-eyed child about him as he watches, for so much as he has seen magic this is not just any magic. This is the magic of life, of nature, and it is beautiful. ]
That is incredible.
[ Words. Words. He has forgotten how words work. ]
oh no he's so cute oh no
She snaps her fingers and the flower, once a light pink, becomes a rich purple and grows a little taller.]
It is! I love my powers, but nature is a power all its own.
[There is no arrogance in her tone when she speaks of herself, just joy.]
no you're cute
[ He's still thoroughly enchanted. MAGIC! M A G I C. ]
Does it not tire you in any way, to do such things?
[ He's thinking of it in terms of his shard -- using it takes effort, exhausts him if he pushes too far. Is this the same? ]
NO YOU ARE!! i'm like hardcore B(
[It is pretty amazing, she can't lie. ~*MAAAAGIC*~]
Something like this? No, it's very easy.. [She tilts her head in consideration, then gets another another pot and repeats the process, but this time, there is a small bush that sprout multiple flowers before eventually becoming plump, ripe strawberries.
To say it happens in ten seconds is being quite generous, and when it's grown, she plucks one and eats it, smiling.] There's only so much energy I can process at a time or over it, but I can draw from different sources and it takes quite a bit for me to tire. It has to, since I use my magic to fight.
FLORA YOU'RE SO PRETTY AND MAGIC
[ For what Flora does enchants him still, he does not tire of it upon repetition. ]
A gift such as this is a blessing, surely. All that could be done with it -- not just for its beauty, but in practical terms. You summon food as if it is nothing. To a farmer whose harvest has been destroyed -- well, such a simple thing could save himself and his family from starving.
WELL LANCELOT YOU'RE RUGGED AN HONOURABLE!!
[Sry, Lancelot, she's just gonna think you're p cool too. dwi.
Meanwhile, oh you know it sure would be nice to have a chair of some kind. She could use the ones at her bench, but, nah. Instead something grows through the floor but curiously doesn't break or otherwise disturb it, before becoming a rather huge daisy.
Flora sits on the pollen centre, snaps her fingers, and another strawberry is in her hands.
She nods at what he says, eyes brightening.]
It's what I'm working on doing, actually. This world has been torn by war, and will continue to be for a while to come. The Queen thought I could do something about that, make places green again. It's challenging, though, since there's never a dull moment around here.
[Fighting, fighting, more fighting, investigating, fetching stuff, fighting again in case they hadn't had enough of that. etc etc.]
wow he is absolutely going to nurse a crush on her
and Lancelot needs to get a hold on himself. He takes a breath and drops his eyes. ]
I have no doubt that if any could bring brightness to this world, Lady Flora, it would be you. Your kindness and determination to help does you great credit.
what a cute omg
That is so kind of you to say, sir. [If she takes a moment to think about it though, to wonder if she can, she'll start to worry that she can't. So, she won't. Instead, she focuses on his wonderfully generous words. She's not exactly hurting for them.] Well, now, I guess I'll just have to do my best so I don't disappoint.
Oh, but please--[She waves her hand gently.]--I am not a Lady. I don't have a title. [A beat. A tilt of her head.] Well, I don't have one that warrants that form of address, anyway. I'm not a noblewoman.
no u fairy lady
[ Things Lancelot learned from Gwaine, which coincidentally also sound like great pick up lines.
No that isn't a coincidence everything Gwaine says is a pick up line. ]
no subject
[The smile she offers is kind and slightly playful.]
If she goes to samhain link me, he would dance with her :3
oh she's def going i'm just at a con & so wiped so i havent finished my starter yet BUT YES DANCING!
[She does love talking to people, and she's always meant to do so with him more, actually. It's a great opportunity for her.
boop boop gonna bounce to that training log.]
