"While much of a diplomat's life depends on their way with words, it's a simple fact that the words we are saying might not be what the other side of the negotiating table wants to hear," Anakin said, "and their reaction might get very ugly and dangerous." He gestured around the Danger Shop, which had been set up with a series of obstacles.

"Therefore, all diplomats must be able to have at least rudimentary knowledge in self-defense," he continued. "Today we'll practice racing through a crowded market place to evade a tail, driving a vehicle out of a roadblock ambush, and firing a weapon."

Lana frowned as she braced herself as Nell suggested. She took a deep breath, then let it out and squeezed. Still not a bullseye, but she made it onto the target this time.

"Thank you," she said to Nell, smiling. "You're right, I wouldn't have pegged you for knowing weapons. You do a lot of hunting?"

"Enough to get by," Nell said. "It's how the church people get most of their meat. I mean, we have chickens and such, but hunting sure fills the pot well."

She ducked her head and smiled a little. "Most all women there can handle a gun, but I maybe took to it pretty good."

"That's good," Lana said. "You should be proud of that."
