Fencing Club - The Salle, Monday After Classes

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"Apologies for the lack of meeting last week. I was called away." He fell down a well. It was embarrassing. "This week we're starting with actual blades. I know some of you have used them before. Please use that experience to be extra careful with the more inexperienced members of the group. I have a range of swords available for you to choose from. Zayne, your weapon of choice isn't exactly practical for this session so I've prepared something more suitable but a step up from the wood. Azula, I promised you an Arming sword lesson. The sword on the end is yours.

Pair up. Take your time, respect your opponent and if you're hurt, alert either myself or Captain Algren immediately. The point of sparring with live weapons isn't to hurt your opponent, it's to practice movements and control."

"Hopefully not mine." He folded his arms across his chest. "Are we still on for this week?"

"Definitely," Rose agreed. She smirked. "Unless you're a pony again."

"Do you always feel the need to tempt fate like that?"

Re: Sparring

"Tempting fate's my middle name," Rose told him seriously.

"How do you manage to fit that on business cards?"

"Says the person who has to fit King Edmund the Just and blah blah blah," she pointed out.

Re: Sparring

"Just Edmund," he replied. "It suits me well enough here. No business cards in Narnia."

"We don't do business cards so much either," Rose said. "Guardians usually stand out pretty well."

What with the all black and stuff.

"Well you don't wear a cowboy hat and you're from Montana. That's guaranteed to make you stand out."

"You don't have bad teeth, and you're from Britain," Rose shot back. "So you'd know."

Re: Sparring

Edmund shook his head. "At least Montana's stereotype is well-founded. It's all farmland and open spaces for grazing. I'm not sure where the bad teeth thing came from."

Re: Sparring

Rose snorted. "Have you ever been to Montana? You forgot the mountains. If we're talking all farmland, we gotta talk like Iowa."

Re: Sparring

[once-a-traitor.livejournal.com]

"I've only seen pictures. Of farms, oddly enough. Are you telling me there's something interesting about Montana that I've been missing out on?"

Well, there was the secret school full of vampires.

"Pretty damn big mountains," she said. "So interesting? Not so much, no, unless you're really into them."
