[A woman shouldn't be on the field [of battle]. He thinks it. Almost actually issues those words, but realises that no matter how he sees things, it's not really the way other cultures work. Arioch too, was capable in her own right, even if he doesn't want to admit it. This girl... Well. It's not exactly fair of him to perceive her as weak, whether she is or not. Not all women, after all, are quite the same as his ever delicate sister. Still, he can't help eyeing her for some moments.]
No good with it? I could instruct you.
[It's presumptuous of him. She likely doesn't need the instruction. Likely has no interest in the sword. Why he offers is really beyond him. Probably because he can't see himself anywhere near a gun. He'll watch and he imagines that's about it. And it's not like he couldn't use the opportunity to hone his own skills. He's been out of practise, after all.]
If you are practising hand-to-hand, it is not so different. Although I suppose your comfort lies with what is most of familiarity to you.
[And that, he cannot fault her for. His mind turns over her words, however. Are there truly so many sword users? Perhaps he has underestimated many of the Moonblessed since his arrival. While he doubts they are particularly up to his skill, they could be worth looking into. It would give him something to do.]
