Lessons in fighting
Who: Duster, Open
What: Duster is giving out hand-to-hand combat training
Where: Aqures Ixen, Hero Training Facility
When: June 16
Warnings: None for now
[Duster wakes up surprisingly early this morning. The recent battles he went on and the news yesterday about the murders must have messed up his sleep cycle, and now he's waking up in the morning like a normal person. Huh. He finds that his shoulders are too tense and his mind unfocused to go out and earn money through battles, so today has to be a resting day. For a moment, he thinks of practicing the double bass all day, but a letter he forgot to clean off of his desk grabs his attention.
Ah. That's right. He promised Chrom to teach some lessons at the training center. Now that's something he can focus on instead.
Anyone arriving at the training center will find a handwritten sign by the entrance, words written neatly and spaced out like a poem:]
Self Defense Classes
Learn martial arts from Duster
Taught here all day today.
[There's an extra syllable at the end, but no one on the Nowhere Islands can write a proper haiku.
Duster can be found in one corner of the grounds, kicking a leather dummy. Each of his strikes hits the target in a regular, focused fashion, as if Duster is making sure he keeps a steady beat.]

[Tazendra and Kumatora come to mind.]
Unless that's the kind of thing you like.

[She grins as she says it, her nose wrinkling.]
I think I just liked learning a new skill more than actually finding a use for it. But it's still good to know in case I get into trouble. So...thanks. I'm glad I've got a good teacher!

Some of the credit has to go to you for being a quick learner. Who knows, people might be amazed to see a musician take down a guy twice her size!
no subject
[She grins as she paces a small circle over the mat.]
I try to avoid taking down paying customers whenever possible.

[Duster folds his arms and grins. Imagine if she had someone as buff as Neckbeard had to follow her to all her venues, fighting off any aggressors she came across.
...Yeah, he wants Rialynn to be able to protect herself.]
Looks like we won't be able to check out how effective that punch is until someone volunteers. [Shrug. Not him, she can hit hard.]
no subject
[His presence seems to grant the anti-trouble buff that Barkeep favors.]
Thanks. It's been a while since I've had a chance to learn a new skill like this.
no subject
[They did make a pretty nice duo during the sleepover. All they need is a band name.]
No problem. I thought I should teach these sort of skills to more people. Anything to help them.
