[decisiveconquest]

I am seeking a blade for defensive purposes. Small knives won't do; I wish to acquire a sword or an arakh, though I doubt anyone has heard of the latter.

(The Dothraki arakh is a special and deadly weapon. She has watched her Dothraki in battle enough to know the basics of using one.)

Guns have been introduced to me, however I am not comfortable with them nor do I trust my aim.

(She had been hoping Drogon would begin to grow, but he remains unchanged. That means she needs to strengthen herself to protect them.)

I have one about twelve inches and it's seen me through some rough fights. You can go a little bigger or smaller. Sometimes smaller -- not too small -- is better. Easier to work with speed over strength (or speed and strength). Bigger ones like kukri aren't as fast.

The beach or forest seems to work. And they are. They can pierce flesh much easier and if you want something that pierces armor/bone/things more rough I'd suggest an assault rifle. They're more cumbersome for first-timers, but I have an array at my disposal I'd be happy to let you try.

[ Jill would be happy to let her use the rocket launcher, but she's not sure where they could fire that off... ]

I understand that well.

[decisiveconquest]

You're right. I don't want it to be too small or it won't serve any purpose beyond cutlery.

What do kukris look like?

(The idea of piercing flesh nauseates her, however if it is for Drogon, she will do anything.)

I will try them if you are willing. I did not know someone was so well-equipped.

(Oh Seven above, do not give her a rocket launcher.)

Oh, if you're looking to make cutlery deadly I'm the gal to lend a hand to you. ;)
Kukri are curved short swords. I don't have any but I don't think they'd be too hard to get my hands on.

[ Unfortunately, everyone can't be spared using weapons. Though Jill fights for just that. ]

Of course. I teach weapons and train people in different fighting styles.
Generally I take a payment, but I don't mind a first time free trial, especially for someone determined.

[decisiveconquest]

Maybe you can show me how that is possible? (She is imagining deadly aim and a lot of power.) The Kukri sounds like the Dothraki Arakh. They use the curve to take an opponent's weapon from them, behead an enemy or leave him bleeding excessively.

(Seeing the Dothraki fight is actually like watching a violent dance.)

We can discuss payment after we meet if that is acceptable?
