( Maria's at the Citadel, for anyone that's familiar enough with it to recognise the location. For anyone that isn't she's hoping to push you a little into getting familiar with it )

We don't know when this will happen, that's obvious enough. We all have our groups and ours jobs, but what when the war really hits? Most of the training has been more focused to combat and those wishing to fight.

I want to focus on defense. Not everyone is going to fight - you made that choice with your group. Everyone should be able to defend themselves. To feel safer. Would you rather be able to help yourself, or wait until it could be too late for someone to help you.

( Just going for the worst case scenario here, not the expected. But if you expect the worst hopefully you can get something better. Or be shocked a little into going with her suggestion )

There are a lot of options, included weapons training and unarmed. I teach hand-to-hand combat at the Citadel and self-defense at the school. I'd rather see someone try, and take a chance at helping than not make it through because they couldn't. Think about it.

( Are you going to be able to count on the gods to revive you when it comes down to the end? )

We need to get together. Knowing each other and our abilities will help us start putting together a strategy. The better we can work together now gives us a better chance when we need to work together. We have to be able to rely on each other.

Ah, your pardon - I suppose Men in general all seem young to me - the youngest I teach at present is the little lady Clementine, and the younger Alice wished to come as well, but neither put their names down for the military, fortunately. my Kevin Prentiss, is, I believe, the youngest of those who did, and his training goes well enough. [ but he would have spared him that, for the boy is only 16 ]

Just tell me when, milady, and I will come. Specifically? [ he does not need to think hard, the old old instincts of command coming back ]

The number of hands, their skill sets and proficiency for their weapon of choice. Their experience of battle - although I guess most would have had that, here. In Asgard their abilities and their skills with said powers would be useful, also. In my own world, I once led a calvary - there are horses here, and it might be of use to see if any might know how to both ride and fight horsed, or if they might be inclined to learn.

Anyone can learn. I've never taught anyone young before.

( Although here Natasha did. She might defer children to Natasha if it came up, or to Maglor )

I'm looking at an evening. Any that you can't make?

I'll keep all of that in mind for the meeting. Learning another skill wouldn't be a bad idea to consider either. Would you be able to show me the basics of using a blade?

Aye, and the young learn faster too, I've found. [ More flexible, more eager, often. And less bad habits to break. He just. Hates exposing them to this so early. ]

No - I have a standing agreement with one of the local taverns, but they are understanding of the situation, and know that as a Traveller I may not always be there - so long as I inform them of the time, it should be of no concern.

Aye, I can - my classes are in the mornings, but I have been primarily teaching spear and lance - swords, you will have to come by after.

I'll see you after a class, and I'll let you know the date of the meeting.

[ He tips her another small bow ]

Aye, I will see you then, Lady Hill.
