[ Arthur looks serious; this is never a good thing ]

It's come to my attention, especially in the last few days, that one can never be too prepared for mayhem. This City is dangerous, and above all unpredictable. Therefore, even though it goes against every code of honor I know, I'm willing to train others in the art of basic combat.

[ he stands up a little straighter, years of habit forced into him when assuming the mantel of duty ] For those who do not know me, my name is Arthur Pendragon, crown prince of Camelot. I'm well versed in the sword, spear, and other standard melee weapons.

If you wish to learn or would like to simply test your mettle against me, come to the training grounds behind the Pevensie Mansion an hour after dawn. And expect to be worked hard.

[Though, lets be honest, here. She's probably in the back yard or in the next room. Your room-mate is lazy today, Arthur.]

I have a sword. That glass one that hangs on my wall? I'm learning to use it.

[Sif is teaching her but she's leaving that part out. Because.]

[ at least it's not the same room. The mansion is rather large. ]

With a glass sword? [ excuse his disbelief ] I'm surprised it's lasted this long.

Re: video:

I wouldn't underestimate it. Its quite special.

Or you're just a wimp. [ but he's all ears ]

...Arthur Pendragon teaching self-defense.

[pratful]

Do you have issue with that? [ and it's not like he'll find men of proper lineage here in the City. It's every much a benefit to him as it is to everyone else. ]

[brobeforehos]

No, not at all. I find it incredible.

[pratful]

[ he's not entirely sure how he should handle this ] Well... I suppose I should say thank-you?

((ooc: o-ow... I don't usually go ten days between tags. so sorry!))

[trenchknives]

You just do the whole sword n' spear thing, or you any good at brawling?

Video

[pratful]

I've had my fair share of brawls, but I admit, my skill lies mainly with weapons. Still I wouldn't count myself out of a fight. [ however, he is no Gwaine, not that Arthur knows who Gwaine is just yet, but he's not. ]

Re: Video

[trenchknives]

Hm. What about small knives? Y'know, like the kind you can conceal easily?

Video

[pratful]

I'm a hunter, of course I can do knives. Whether concealed or not, the basics are the same regardless of the length.

[ Hmm. He looks like a big guy, but she's always up for new challenges and in light of the recent attacks from the carnival ... ]

Would you mind if I came along for hand-to-hand?

[video]

[pratful]

I admit, hand-to-hand isn't my best offense, but I'd be happy to give you some practice.

[ he's starting to get used to being beat up by girls, and who knows, maybe he'll learn something from it too. He'd be a poor soldier if he didn't work on his weaknesses ]

[mightbeconcussed]

Any chance you'd like an audience, to the training that is.

Video

[pratful]

Only if you're quiet. We can't afford any distractions. [ and he's learned by now that Lucy loves to ramble. ]

[hexuality]

Oh, dear. And I thought I was special enough to be your only student.

[pratful]

And you've certainly come a long ways since you started. If you're willing, I could use your help with the training. [ She could spar against the more raw beginners, and in truth, it may speed up her progress as well. ]

[hexuality]

Finally, a bit of fun.

[That's a yes, Arthur.]

[deadmanbusiness]

Do you have weapons for those of us who showed up here expectantly and don't have a usable melee weapon?

[pratful]

For training purposes, of course. However, you have to earn the right to carry them first. [ he's not running a charity ]

[deadmanbusiness]

Earn? You mean show I know what I'm doing with them?

[universaltranslator]

[She gets the disbelieving laughter out of her system before responding. Arthur Pendragon? Really?]

How easy are melee weapons to come by here?

voice;

[pratful]

Not as difficult as one might think, should you have the coin. The rest, well... Most common, everyday objects can do in a pinch. [ he's taught a whole village to defend their homes with pitchforks and scythes and hand axes. He can manage something here in the city. ]

voice;

[universaltranslator]

I suppose. Do you know any hand-to-hand combat? Unarmed.
