The Danger Shop was set up like the Salle. The main difference was the giant Satedan in the center of the room, going through a complicated practice routine with a bokutō blade. When they arrived, he stopped and approached the group with a feral smile, spinning the wooden sword in his hand as he spoke.

"Today we're sword fighting. If it's your first fight, there's a handout for you. First thing to know about sword fighting: keep your eyes straight ahead. Focus on the enemy. Never ever look away from your enemy. It shows weakness. Are you weak?" He stared down a couple students in particular as he paced the floor in front of them all. "Second thing: You’ve gotta anticipate the enemy's next move. Always be ready. I'll give you a minute to look at the papers." Ronon stepped away, preparing to instruct them on how this was going to go down.

And she went over, hitting the mat hard but quickly scrambling backward and pulling herself up to her feet even as her sword went skittering off to the side.

She put her hands up in surrender, breathing hard.

"Next time, try to keep hold of the sword," Ronon offered helpfully.

She nodded, blushing, though she supposed for her first time ever holding a sword she hadn't done horrendously badly.
