( 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.

[ she checks the other responses before deciding to add her own. it still feels weird to her how the lines between her private life and what she considered to be her job are blurring. ]

Robb and I were in charge of the Guard before the militarization of the city. It was a kind of standing army, and at this point they've all been absorbed into the our group. [ she's got those notes around here somewhere... ] It won't replace practice, but I've got some notes about everyone who was in it. How they fought, their basic fighting abilities-

[ kate looks back to maria. ]

I can also help out with classes, too, depending on what everyone else needs.

The more help we have the better - the Guard and with classes.

( She will take a peek at those notes if you don't mind )

It would also be worth finding some people here with drawing as their power. Just to start stock-piling different forms of weapons and ammo.

[ kate's better with a handgun, sure, but she's been taking sword lessons. knows a thing or two about throwing knives now. ]

You free today?

It's a good thought. I've been told that there are blade at the Citadel but likely not enough - and certainly not for ammo.

I'm there now, whenever you want to come down.

( Brushing herself up in between classes or friendly practice. And she'll be starting those sword lessons herself )
