[Asuka has her business face on now, the one that suggests that despite her young age, maybe she can handle being a teacherI have a request of the community here. I was wondering if someone would be willing to train me in self defense? There are creatures in this land that are obviously hostile and violent, and I have no wish to be a liability to

Why, hello there, young lady.

[The man is seated at a table, his chin is his hand, ruffled sleeve falling back to reveal white gloves. He smiles quite charmingly at the Hitomi.]

Would you perhaps be interested in firearms? It's true that they require ammunition, but they can give a definite advantage of range, and I could summon an extra one for you?

[He doesn't mention price, not yet.]

[She seems intrigued]

I wasn't aware firearms were available in this world, how would you summon one exactly?

Re: [Video]

[nightraysewerat]

The summoning shop, in Yomisato. It wouldn't be too much of a problem to get you one, really.

[He's considering the rewards, already.]

Would such a thing interest you, young lady?

[coldobelisk]

If you are sure it would not be an issue.

[She nods]

A firearm would be more practical given my lack of experience and training

I can train you in the use and upkeep of sword, shield, and armor. [Looks her over for a moment.] Although...I believe first you would have to procure a sword and shield suited to your size.

Re: video

[coldobelisk]

Finding a sword should not be overwhelmingly difficult, though I'm not sure I have the body conditioning to fight in armor.

[hailtothelight]

[Understanding nod.] That can be worked up to.

[coldobelisk]

Thank you for understanding. What would the next step be then?

[She's totally fine with more clearly defining her request]

I would like to be able, in the event of a monster or bandit attack, be able to defend myself without endangering others by forcing them to save me. I don't have extensive experience with martial arts, so learning to use a weapon seems a more practical solution to compensate for my lack of build and conditioning.

[She's put a lot of thought into this. She puts a lot of thought into everything.]

[Audio]

[coldobelisk]

A compromise does sound like the most reasonable option. It was my intention to seek out hand to hand combat training eventually, I just was unsure if it would even the playing field sufficiently between myself and an attacker the way a weapon would. I understand that such training takes a great deal of time, dedication, and physical conditioning before you're able to really utilize it against an opponent.

[The sound of a fingernail tapping against her hitomi]

Still, you make a good point, and basic self defense training certainly would not hurt, and would form the foundation for future lessons. Thank you for your advice Mr...?

[He supposes he can always use something more to do... And more people that he's on good terms with.

So.]

I've got plenty of tricks when it comes to hand-to-hand stuff that could probably come in handy, if that's what you're looking for.

[Video]

[coldobelisk]

Yes, thank you. If nothing else, it would give me some good ground work and physical conditioning.

[Video]

[mistyredhead]

Yeah, exactly! It's always a good idea~

So feel free t'call me whenever ya wanna start, yeah? I'm Lavi.

[coldobelisk]

I'll keep that in mind Lavi. And thank you for your information a while back, it was very helpful.
