Fencing Club - Salle, After Classes Monday

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

Again Edmund was in early and setting up for the club. He waited for everyone to arrive before addressing them. "Using a sword rarely comes naturally. You have to put effort into it, but you also have to work at your own pace to learn the fundamentals. If you want to practice the footwork drills from last week, please move over to my left and have at it. Experienced swordsmen...women...people," he fumbled, "who wish to use the time to spar head down the back. Everyone else will be practising a few defence exercises. We'll get to the attacking part next week."

Edmund demonstrated a few defence drills. "There you have it. If you need me to run through them with you, wave me over."

Re: Talk to Edmund and Algren

Algren was there, keeping an eye on those who decided that they might like to spar, today. He trusted Edmund to keep the beginners from impaling themselves on training swords, but where there was sparring, there was almost always ego, and a dangerous amount of that had no place happening on his watch.
