Sorry for not being real active on here. Not too good at talking to folks.

It kinda occurred to me when I was talking to Miss Sakura that I ain't been doing a good job of listening to a friend of mine back home. Calill, she fought along with me in the wars, and she always was trying to get me more used to stuff. When I went back home a lil bit ago, she was pushing me hard to get better at talking to folks and, ya know...being social?

So uh...was wondering if folks wanted to do stff, like if folks wanted a training partner? I can't do much cept for using polearms and plant powers, since I ain't learned much archery 'cept for what Takumi's taught me, but it's always good to learn to defend against different things.

For folks that ain't big into training, I was thinking maybe tea or crafts or gardening? Don't gotta be nothing big, just one on one stuff...oh, and bunnies to play with.

[Okay, even in text, she's still getting anxious talking this much.]

Just something to get to know folks, if anyone wants to...

Aw, it's just country stuff I grew up doing. Nothing too fancy. But thank ya all the same.

I sure can. Taught my sisters both, shouldn't be no trouble at all.

What sorta fighting ya do?

[Not a single smidgen of judgement here.]

Is it common learning all that where you're from?

Thank you. I'm happy to work with your schedule.

Hand-to-hand and knife-fighting for close combat, firearms for long range.

In the country it is, at least. Can't afford to pay someone to mend every lil thing, so ya learn. I'm the eldest child too, so I had to help out with that when I wasn't in the fields.

I've always wanted to learn those first two, though I don't know nothing about firearms. I'm pretty open for time, to be honest. When would ya like to start?

I see. What's it like living in the country?

Two skills for two skills is an even trade. And I guess we can start whenever? Is there anything you want me to get to prepare?

Quiet, for one. When we lived back in Ohma before I moved us to Melior, everyone was real spread out. It can take a bit to get to town from where our house was. Even in the walls of the capital in our new home, it takes bout an hour if we're carting stuff.

I'd say it's hard, too. You've gotta do a lot of manual labor not just for your own family, but gotta have stuff to sell, too. But when somethin happens, folks step up. Even when I had trouble talking to people, folks helped me keep the farm running so my family didn't go hungry.

But I love it anyway.

As for preparing, can't say there's too much. If ya want to do it in the morning after I get done with my early work, though, I'd say make sure to get a good night's rest and a good breakfast. Other than that though I can't think of much, other than if ya got armor I suggest bringing it.

[With no memories of her own, it's nice hearing about other worlds and the lives within. It's hard to imagine things without any frame of reference, but she can infer enough. Mostly, it's nice people were willing to help each other in times of need.]

It sounds like a nice place. It's good people are willing to help each other out when things are hard.

If it isn't too soon, how about tomorrow morning at whatever time works best? Otherwise the day after?

I don't have armor, is that okay?

It is. As much as I have grown to like this place I do miss Crimea a bit.

Tomorrow morning sounds good. Don't got no set plans.

It is, but ya might get a few bruises. If needed I can see bout getting you some after? What would ya like to start with for training?

[She's already thinking of armor stuff in her head, but knows not to get ahead of herself too far.]

Bruises don't bother me, but if you think I should get some, I'll look into it. Know any shops I should go to?

Starting with hand-to-hand would be a good way to warm up. Go from there?
