"Well, I've never sparred with anyone before," Karla said, looking awkward. "And I really should before I stop being lucky and my name comes up. I mean, I fought some as a little kid, but it's been six, seven years? The last time I got hit was...right before I came here." An innocuous enough statement to anyone not in he know. "I need to know I can take a punch without freaking out."
And that might let Dinah know how much what had happened--or nearly happened--concerned Karla.

Dinah paused a second, then darted her a considering glance. This might be a little tricky, but Karla was right. She at least needed to find out if she could deal. "Just let me know if it starts getting to you, okay? I've done this with Claire before, but she's fine with being hit." And got over it within minutes. "C'mon. Let's hit the mats."

"Thanks," Karla said gratefully, heading to the mats. "It'll be really quick, so you probably won't miss much," she said, flashing a grin back towards Dinah.

"I didn't realize you were here too." Which was natural as last time she'd been watching her toes, trying to push down the nausea that came with introductions (or any kind of public speech).

"Wait 'til they band together with the pigeons," she warned. "Once they take a liking to yah, they'll find you anywhere." She knew, she'd only to open her window in the Lower City and she'd have pigeons flying in.

"I'm not arguing," she said as she glanced towards the mat where people were sparring.
"Are you training to be a guard too?" It was becoming a valid question considering that most people she talked to (except her roommate) seem to have similar goals.
