practicality: (cackle)
So the incident with the dinosaurs has brought to my attention that many people here are less prepared to deal with the dangers of this city than they'd like. I have w number of years of experience teaching both firearms and hand to hand combat - I could also teach some forms of melee weapons as well. I'm also somewhat at loose ends at the moment. You'd there be interest?

I should warn you, as Elena is likely to tell you, I am not an easy instructor. And I won't teach people who can't show me that they won't misuse what I teach them.

That is a very good idea. If you, or anyone else would like to learn how to use a sword, I would love to teach it.

I'm not too old to learn something new, I think. What type, out of curiosity? I'm somewhat familar with the one-edged longswords my people use, but know others who've used different styles, usually double-edged.

I got a lot of different types here. I am a blacksmith among other things... Lets call it a hobby of mine. Rapiers, small-swords, cutlass, daggers... I have most models here. You are from Asia, correct? Well. I had an asian sailor among my crew once. I never did learn how to make the swords used there...

Interesting. I'd love to see your work - while I don't use blades much myself, I know how to spot a good one.

My homeland is actually called Wutai, but from what I've been reading, it does bear a marked resemblance to the Asian cultures of Earth-worlds. I wasn't from a smith family, though, and was apprencticed to a temple, so unfortunately I can't answer any questions as to construction.

Your welcome to visit my ship, if you wish.

Heh. I think I'm going to be a bit busy for the next few days, but I'll be certain to take you up on that offer when I have the time.
