[That's a teenaged girl with blue hair and blue eyes on the screen. It's her first time doing video but also like, she felt this would be better done with face to face instead of text or voice.

So just getting straight to it, she clears her throat and asks.]

I'm hoping to find someone who is willing to ah... Train with knives? I can pay you with moonlacing, if money is an issue.

I just wish to have someone to practice with, and I don't feel like pestering my roommate either.

[And that's it, done as if asking about knife fights is perfectly normal.]

Comments

[force_a_change]

Only well-skilled. Care to elaborate?

[Because she doesn't want some wussy old man to fight with, after all.]

[crabbmarche]

Would being a highly successful assassin with proficiency in them suffice?

[force_a_change]

That's certainly more skilled then I am. So, yes.

[crabbmarche]

Right.

[He sounds a little smug.]

But yes. I'd be happy to give you pointers; money won't be an issue.

[force_a_change]

Are you sure? I am willing to pay.

[She'd feel weird getting help for free, especially from a stranger.]

[crabbmarche]

I see that. But I think you're a bit young for me, petite fleur. Besides, it's been a while since I've been able to utilize my skills.

[force_a_change]

[Something muttered about not being a little flower, but she's not going to push it.]

Then I hope that showing me those skills will help you out, Mister.

[crabbmarche]

Of course. I work at the Academy, but I'm free in the evenings and on the weekends. Just let me know what time would work for you.

[force_a_change]

Mm, well both times work fine for me. And the academy that's the school correct? You don't strike me as a teacher in the normal sense.

[crabbmarche]

Yes. I teach theater here, but you're correct; it's not my first choice of profession.

In that case - tomorrow night?

[force_a_change]

[She has her "fight" with Mercury, but that's around noon. She should be fine to do more later in the day.]

Tomorrow night works just fine, sir.
