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.]

[He nods and hooks the hilt to it's place at his hip.]

It might not seem like much to you, but I do appreciate it. I...ah...might have neglected to mention this was something I could do to our friends on this ship. I don't imagine they'll be all that impressed with that fact.

What? That you can use a magic blade?

_{[ He tilted his head, not sure what seemed to be causing the other concern. ]}

[apurrstate]

[HE gave a lopsided smile and shook his head.]

That I could use a blade at all.

Mages back home are not known for their swordsmanship, most of them are forbidden from learning the very thing I know. [He shrugged.] I didn't tell them and it never came up, but I suspect they'll take it more along the lines of a lie of omission.

[No need to tell Kirk he was infamous for being a horrific liar when it counted.]

I doubt they'll be angry, but happy won't be the word for it.

I'm still not getting it. Why wouldn't they be happy you can use a sword? I mean, all of them can use swords, so what difference does it make?

[apurrstate]

It's a cultural thing, I wouldn't worry about it. They'll get used to the idea quickly enough, I'm sure.

[That was nowhere near the truth, but then, that was the whole point, in the end.]

Either way, now that I have it, I think it will prove to be very useful, should we run into more trouble...which I'm sure will happen eventually.
