Who: Leliana
Broadcast: fleetwide
Action: Planetside
When: Now

[Leliana decided to make this with a purpose and an idea in mind. When the feed turns on, she can be found wearing some light armor and gloves, holding a bow in her hands.]

It has come to my attention that perhaps my expertise with a bow and other weapons might be useful, should the need to defend ourselves ever arise again. I reside aboard the Blue Fish as one of her security officers and I believe, by extension, it is my duty to not only defend the ship, but to make sure her inhabitants and those of other ships can defend themselves properly.

Should anyone with inexperience with knives or bows wish it, I am willing to lend my services. I extend this particularly to the women aboard the fleet, purely because it has come to my attention there are some who do not find base means of defense accessible to them.

[Lookin' at you, Robb Stark.]

I do have some experience with a sword and shield, but I find myself willing to leave that in Riona Cousland's expert hands and I am sure she would be more than happy to lend tutelage in that realm of expertise should anyone ask her of it directly.

[She clears her throat a bit.]

There is a small matter of where I might find a suitable place to teach, but I will come to that when a decent interest is shown. Thank you, for your time, and I do hope others who feel eager to learn will come forward soon.

[Given her difficulty at perfecting her aim (or even hitting the target), Leliana's message and offer comes at the perfect time. The raider attack had only helped her realize that she needed a means to protect herself.

She didn't want to be helpless anymore.]

I have been trying to learn archery, but I fear I'm rather hopeless. [A beat.] Could you help me learn to defend myself as well?

Ah! And I find myself suddenly volunteered.

[Aaaand in response to such a professional and very diplomatic offer, have a blue-haired electrical menace throwing off the classy curve.]

What, do girls not get our own ray-guns in this joint?

[She's...kind of trying to be supportive here. By her standards, even this is a pretty significant effort.]

What gives with leavin' us with pointy sticks and Ren-Faire leftovers?

[It's a guy, but his voice is on the softer, higher pitched range.]

To teach archery or knives? Because I've been wondering about creating a dojo somewhere.

Milady if you would not mind the company, I could use a companion to spar against who is not a member of my family. [ Maglor smiles a little wryly ] We all know each other far too well to be of great challenge for long. And if you mind it not, my archery is far too rusty and could use an experts aid in reviving slightly.

I have skill with swords and daggers, but none with a bow. Would you be able to teach how to better defend against such ranged weapons?

What a great idea!

I have a bow and some dummy arrows if you ever need more equipment.
