I have [ the briefest expression of insecurity flickering over her face before Tessa straightens her shoulders and faces the camera more fully ] decided that I should learn how to fight. I cannot endlessly rely on others for protection should I need it.

There are those here that teach it, I am certain. Mr Morgan? [ A beat. ] Will, perhaps?

It is not unsuitable for women to engage in such activities. [ It starts as a question, but she changes her mind halfway through and it becomes a statement instead. These are different times, and even back home with the Shadowhunters, the usual rules of society did not apply. While they are part of what makes Tessa who she is (something she wishes to hold on to), perhaps it is time she stopped letting them hold her back. ]

Of course it's not unsuitable. [ a pause, and his lips quirk. ] But I wasn't aware you were capable of such feelings.

[Jack isn't sure what he finds off-putting about this, but it's enough to get him to respond.]

Are you sure you want that?

[personal profile] wouldnotkindly 2012-03-09 09:09 pm (UTC)(link)
I don't mean to be rude, miss, but... Why? [Maybe it's just that he associates fighting with something he's only ever had to do to survive under the most dire of circumstances, but it doesn't seem like something a girl like this should consider taking up lightly.]

[Derek's been worried about her through the last few weeks. Tessa always seems like such a delicate person with this inner strength that's just waiting to bubble over. So when he hears the topic of conversation he's more than happy to oblige so that some of that inner strength can work for her on the outside too.]

Buffy and I teach classes every weeknight. And it's good, suitable, for you to want to know how to defend yourself. Especially after the desert and all those creatures.

[He looks down and messes with the device just a bit.] Sending you a file, sweetheart.

Starting with basic self defense is probably a good idea. And you could pick a weapon to start with too. Both Buffy and I work with beginners just as much as those who know what they're doing.

[He offers her a small grin, hoping to reassure whatever worries she might have about being a beginner. He remembers when he first started with Judo that he was pretty uncertain about it and with himself in regards to it until he'd finally earned his Yūdansha ranking.] Besides, that's the whole point. Starting from the beginning and working your way up. After you get basic self defense down, we can teach you some Judo if you feel you'd like to be better with hand-to-hand. If not, basic self defense and a weapon should be enough.
