[ 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! ]

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.
video;
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.
video;
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.
video;
[ 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. ]
video;
[ 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?
video;
[ He is very fond of High-Queen Solais, even now. ]
No; we met here. But she's a smart girl, very talented.
video;
[ 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?

[ And sadly enough, it might actually be safer than home after everything that had happened. ]

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.

[ And Lancelot's to blithely ignore, apparently. ]
