Who: Anders + Open
Broadcast: Yes
Action: Tourist, if desired. In the Cargo bay
When: Now

[Anders wasn't the type to post to the network all that often, but he's also not usually in a position to need to ask for help, so, network it is.

There's a touch of uncertainty and hesitation to his baring when he starts the feed and, instead of being in the Tourist's clinic or one of the gardens as he usually is, he's in the ship's cargo bay. Open space seemed like the best thing for what he was trying to practice.]

The gifts Atroma delivered to us seem thoughtful enough, considering, but I find myself in need of some help with mine. I thought I could perhaps figure it out myself, but it hasn't worked out so far.

I know the terms are familiar to those from Thedas, but just in case they're familiar to anyone else: I'd like to speak to anyone who knows about 'Arcane Warriors' and 'Knight Enchanters.' I need help applying my knowledge of one to the other.

[A brief pause.]

To anyone else, I'm in need of a sparring partner. Anyone skilled with a blade willing to help out would be welcome. Thank you.

[And now he waits. He hasn't breathed a word about the Spirit Hilt sent to him...and knows there's some who didn't even know he could wield a sword, much less had in the past. Really, there were only two that would.

But desperate times and all that.]

Comments

[He huffs out a small laugh.] Thank the Maker for that. For some, it is a problem.

If you don't mind my asking, why don't you have access to them? Is it just distance? Were they locked away or was there some special circumstances of your homeworld that allowed them?

[This was supposed to be about sword fighting...but he still loved to learn and loved magic and this covered both.]

[humene]

[That sounds odd, but given what she's seen with the Abbey, Eleanor can't blame anybody who would be hesitant about using magic.]

In my world, magic can only be used if you have a pact with an elemental being called a Malak. As the Malak I have a pact with isn't here, I don't have access to my magic.

[And she also misses her friend a lot, that part is more important.]

[apurrstate]

A pact? [Sounded like making deals with demons...or perhaps it was loser to making friends with a spirit? At least, the way she talked about it, that seemed more likely.]

I'm sorry about your friend. We don't have 'Malaks' back home, but we do have Spirits. My friend who's a Spirit showed up, perhaps yours will too one day.

[If Atroma could actually manage being nice instead of ironic.]

That all said, I would love to practice with you. My name is Anders.

[humene]

Thank you. I wouldn't be surprised if he finds his way here eventually; at least, that's what we hope.

[She smiles, but there's still sadness in her eyes. This entire situation is...complicated.]

I would love to practice with you, as well. My name is Eleanor Hume, but I go by Eleanor. I'm currently living on the Wonderduck.

[apurrstate]

[Anders could certainly understand complicated.]

A pleasure to meet you, Elenor.

I reside on the tourist, I'd be happy to meet ypu in either location or aboard the Iskaulit, whenever you'd like.

[humene]

Let's meet on the Iskaulit. There should be more space to practice there. Would you like to head over now?

[apurrstate]

If now is convenient, sure! I'll meet you in a bit.

Thank you.

[He goes, as promised, to the Iskaulit to meet her at the gym and training area. He suspected the area wasn't necessarily meant for practice with blades, but seeing as no one else was there to chastise them, he didn't think it mattered.]
