Fencing Club - Salle, After Classes

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Edmund arrived earlier than necessary to make sure the practice swords were out and the area was clear for use. He waited for everyone to arrive and noted silently that this definitely wasn't the kind of club roster he'd been expecting. Still, they wanted to learn, so he would do his best.

"Welcome to Fencing Club. I believe I know most of you now. My name is Edmund Pevensie. The school has seen fit to have Professor Algren supervise us. There are a few ground rules as we'll be dealing with objects that can kill you if you use them improperly. Treat every weapon seriously, even if it's a wooden practice sword, and treat your opponent with respect.

This week will be informal. Please go around the room and introduce yourself and tell everyone what, if any, experience with fencing or swordwork you have. It's okay if you don't have any. We'll work on that."

"Captain Algren," Edmund greeted. "This should be a fairly low-key weekly event."

Algren nodded faintly, offering Edmund a faint smile.

"I can live with that," he decided. "Considering the number of students likely to be swinging blades around, I wouldn't want it to get too busy to keep under control."

"They all seem fairly serious about practising, even if there are quite a few who have never handled a sword. I'll have them all use the wooden training swords at first and review after a month."

Algren gave a light nod, looking over the people assembled again.

"That's how I learned," he noted. "It'll be more than good enough for them, too. If anyone has any arguments on that matter, send them to me, and I'll straighten them out for you, Mr. Pevensie."

He glanced at the girls, Lion-o and Zayne. "Thank you, sir. I don't think we'll have any problems."
