"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."

"That could be useful," Edmund suggested, then went to fetch one of the other practice lightsabers. He stretched it out in front of him, testing its length and weight, then swung it around as he would his own sword to make sure he wasn't about to clobber himself in the head. "When you're ready."

"I'm ready," Zayne said. After giving Edmund a moment to prepare himself, he stepped forward and slashed at Edmund's side. Zayne didn't go too fast. He wanted to make sure Edmund had the opportunity to get a feel for the weight.
