[ Video; Seelie Locked ]

[ Lancelot looks tired, dishevelled, but determined. He's at least free of injury now, and making an attempt to look some degree of... serious, collected. In control. He's also in the company of John Grimm, who while not exactly looking pleased probably looks a few degrees less wrecked. Lancelot takes a deep breath, and manages to force a small smile. Behind them appears to be the training yard of Caer Glaem, which is being slowly set up by a few soldiers milling around.

Lancelot's tone is quiet as he speaks, quieter than perhaps people who know him may be used to, but it is measured and firm still. Controlled.
]

For those who do not know me, my name is Lancelot. I am Field Marshal here in Caer Glaem. Those of you that do, however, may recall I ran a training session a month previous. John Grimm --

[ -- and Lancelot glances sideways to the man with him. ]

-- and I have been asked to run them as a regular effort henceforth.

[ Your go, John. ]

The both of us have experience fighting both at home and in the Drabwurld, if you’re worried about qualifications. If you don’t know how to fight, even to simply defend yourself, then we ask that you absolutely come. If you do know how to fight, we ask that you come anyway; if nothing else, this is a good chance to practice your skills and maybe learn a few new ones. The same applies if you use magic.

[ A pause and, though it looks like saying this pains him, John adds: ]

Though we do ask that you not use lethal force. Training weapons will be provided as needed, and we will have healers standing by at each session.


[ Lancelot hesitates, nods approval finally as he tries to work out other things they need to cover. Right. Be encouraging, sound like you know what you’re talking about Lancelot. You just declared yourself supposedly in charge. Try to seem like you deserve that. ]

The training yard here will be set up to allow any who wish it to come and go as they please. We will try to attend every day but if we are not on hand some of the soldiers will always be here. Even the strongest of soldiers can benefit, fighting styles are different here in the Drabwurld. The shard that sits inside your chest can be used to amplify your strength and speed, and I will happily pass on the art to any who ask. As much as that, you are of course welcome to help us train if you have the experience. We will not turn away help.

We know that many of you do not want to take part in this war. That’s fine. But the Drabwurld is dangerous, and it’s not just the war that makes it that way. We can help you learn how to keep yourself alive in the event that something happens.

[ A pause, and he glances sideways at Lancelot, then nods slightly to himself. ]


[ Lancelot offers John a tiny smile, than turns back to the locket and inclines his head a little. ]

Thank you for your time.

[ Will that do? That’ll do. ]

[ OOC; Log if anyone wants to play out training! ]
wroughtsteel: (For she is a fair maiden.)

[ It's the first time she finally uses the locket to communicate with anyone, and so it takes her a moment of fumbling about with the object before she sees that yes, it is working. So she tilts her head politely. ]

Well-met to you both, Lancelot and John Grimm-- [ Her eyes linger on the latter's face. So strangely familiar, but she continues, making no mention of it. ] My name is Éowyn.

I have only recently arrived but I would like to take part in this training, if possible. I can wield a sword so perhaps I might be of some assistance with those less skillful, though at the moment I still recover from some injuries.
chromosomes: (uncertain.)

[ He's noticed that lingering look before -- from Legolas, mostly -- but he hasn't asked yet. Perhaps he never will. ]

Definitely possible. Though if you're injured, I would suggest speaking to one of the healers within the castle, or another Shardbearer who can heal.

[ There's a pause. Oh, right. He's one of those. ]

I could take a look, if you'd like.
wroughtsteel: (And yet I know not.)

[ For the better then, as she would not be able to tell him what is so familiar about him just yet. ]

You are a healer? [ If she sounds surprised it is only because to her, he looks nothing like a healer would to her. This whole different worlds matter will take some getting used to. ] You can look at it, but as it stands, it is healed, only somewhat sore and aching still. A young healer by the name of Hermione tended to me when I first arrived.
chromosomes: (smile.)

The monarchs will give people boons if you help them, their court, or the world sometimes. My first one, I asked for a way to help other people -- they gave me the ability to heal.

[ He could already heal himself, but at least now he can try to keep others from dying after they've taken a blow without relying on technology that simply doesn't exist here. ]

Hermione's very good. [ There's no small amount of pride in his voice for her; she's like a daughter to him. ]
wroughtsteel: (To mind the children.)

video;

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-05 10:20 pm (UTC)(link)
Oh. That is... a very generous gift.

[ And an incredible power as well. Not the healing, but the fact that these monarchs could bestow them on another like so. Certainly not an ability she has seen or even heard of before. ]

You know Hermione? [ A thoughtful pause. ] Does she come from the same place as you?
chromosomes: (quiet.)

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-06 02:54 am (UTC)(link)
That's what I said.

[ He is very fond of High-Queen Solais, even now. ]

No; we met here. But she's a smart girl, very talented.
wroughtsteel: (The wildmen are moving.)

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-06 10:28 am (UTC)(link)
I see.

[ She feels as if she will never realize how many different worlds there are. ]

I have met many a people from the same place as I, though short my time here has been. Is it the same with you? Is it common... for several people to come from the same places?
chromosomes: (mirage.)

video;

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-07 09:17 am (UTC)(link)
I haven't met anyone else from my world. But Hermione, I know, is one of a few from hers. It seems to depend on the place.
wroughtsteel: (How I should speak of her.)

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-14 12:32 am (UTC)(link)
I regret to hear, then. Though you must be glad that none dear to you have been brought here as well... it must feel lonely at times.
chromosomes: (look.)

I think my sister would like it here, once she got over how... different it all is.

[ And sadly enough, it might actually be safer than home after everything that had happened. ]
wroughtsteel: (To mind the children.)

video;

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-16 11:16 am (UTC)(link)
Is it? May I ask, perhaps, that you tell me how your world is?
chromosomes: (adjust.)

video;

[personal profile] chromosomes 2014-10-17 07:46 am (UTC)(link)
No magic. No elves or dwarves. Horses aren't as common; they're mostly for the rich now, actually.
wroughtsteel: (And yet I know not.)

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-20 01:34 pm (UTC)(link)
Then quite different from this one, or my own as well. [ She smiles a little. ] But how do people travel over long distances, if not by way of horse?

I will make sure to not put strain upon my injury, still I should like to visit, even if I do not yet take part of the training myself. At the very least I can spare knowledge in words, and watch as others spar amongst them. For the moment I have little else to do.
wroughtsteel: (And yet I know not.)

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-05 11:51 pm (UTC)(link)
I hope for that as well. [ She inclines her head. ] Though my questions now are of mere curiosity: you say the sword is your preferred weapon, are you a warrior then - a knight?
wroughtsteel: (For she is a fair maiden.)

video;

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-14 12:30 am (UTC)(link)
A great honour, indeed. [ Though she is not familiar with either place. She sits slightly more upright, still her tone no less warm. ] That is where you come from, Camelot? What is it like, if I may ask?
wroughtsteel: (To mind the children.)

video;

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-16 11:15 am (UTC)(link)
In... any sense, to be true. I understand there are many a world that people come from, some very different from this one or my own. Though mine is similar in some aspects, the Drabwurld still holds some strange aspects I am not so accustomed to.
wroughtsteel: (The wildmen are moving.)

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-20 01:37 pm (UTC)(link)
[ She nods as she listens attentively to his explanation, from start to end before saying anything. ]

It seems like a more peaceful place than this one, at least. Though I confess, it is strange for me to hear of magic being outlawed.
wroughtsteel: (The people are to follow your rule.)

video;

[personal profile] wroughtsteel 2014-10-23 10:49 pm (UTC)(link)
Such is the way of many things. A weapon too in the wrong hands may be dangerous, but in the right hands a tool of defense and protection, honour and loyalty. But... indeed, it is the King's decision to make, as you say. I only speak my mind, and do not mean to disrespect.
