[By the look of Cole's surroundings, he seems to have found the training yard. On a weapons rack int he background can be seen a large array of weapons ranging from polearms like bladed glaives to two-handed swords like claymores, one-handed swords, daggers, and knives, as well as a collection of Katana and tanto. To complete the collection, you can also see a few blunt weapons: a cudgel, a mace, and a morning star.
Cole himself is leaning up against a table that stands in front of this weapons rack, across which are scattered the pieces of a composite crossbow and a quiver of bolts for it. In all, including the crossbow, there are probably twenty weapons assembled. Cole is smoking a cigarette and looks like he's been preparing this for a while.]
Mornin', folks. At least, I think it's still morning. Whatever. I know there are a couple of you who were interested in learning how to use one of these things, or you already got one. A sword ain't much good if you don't know how to swing it, and a guy who never gets enough credit made a pretty good point: they don't run out of ammo. So, [He makes a vague sort of gesture toward the weapons.] you know how to use one, you're welcome to it. Can't use all this myself. Better know how to use it, though. If you accidentally kill yourself being stupid, it ain't my problem. I ain't offering lessons to everybody, here. Oh, and the crossbow's mine.
[A pause as he actually looks to the screen.] That being said, Junpei, get your ass down here.
[And he reaches out, cutting off the video feed.]
Private to Charis
[But it cuts back on immediately, a private feed this time.]
Hey. Can we talk?
