[The handwriting is a little messy, but still recognizable as Sky's.]

My injuries are close to healing, so I should be able to return to duty soon. Sitting around the house and not being able to do anything has been hard.

Thank you to all of the medics who have assisted me; I wouldn't be able to be back on my feet this quickly without your talents. Thank you also to those who have been assisting the Guard and the Watch, and to members of the Guard and Watch themselves for keeping an eye on me while I couldn't defend myself.

[Pen taps.]

Is there anybody who can train me to use a sword when they- and I- have some free time?

We were pleased to offer any assistance we could.

As for swordsmanship, I might be able to offer some practice, though I would hesitate to call myself a master of the art.

Thank you for the offer, Paladin. I just need someone to practice with who knows what they're doing; I acquired a sword recently and I'm not very good with them.

[mythgravenblade.livejournal.com]

Oh? What manner of sword is it?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I'm not really sure, honestly. I don't know much about weapons.

[mythgravenblade.livejournal.com]

Ah--then we should begin at the very beginning. What is the shape of the blade?

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

That's what the whole thing looks like. I'm not sure exactly how long it is; I'd need to measure it.

[mythgravenblade.livejournal.com]

Interesting--it looks like a straightsword with a saber's point. I am a user of longswords and broadswords, so while I can provide you with help regarding basic and intermediate technique, I do not think I could teach you expert use of such a blade.

Any help you can give me would be very much appreciated. Thank you for offering.

[mythgravenblade.livejournal.com]

You're quite welcome. I think my next large chunk of free time is this Saturday, if you think you'll be ready then.

[blue-shields.livejournal.com]

I should be. I'll let you know for sure as soon as I can.

[mythgravenblade.livejournal.com]

Understood.
