Actually, I've already asked Gaius to help me out with this. But then I realized that I was on a boat with the most skilled fighters ever. So maybe learning more styles would do me some good, and who better to ask than our almighty captain right?

I was hoping you could...maybe...teach me how to use a weapon?

[youhearthebells]

[he tilts his head and then shrugs]

What kinda weapon do you want to learn?

[his scimitar is slung behind his hips, as usual, but he does actually know more than one]

[anelegantmyth]

What can you teach me?

[Oh yes, she's dead serious in learning everything he knows.]

[youhearthebells]

[he lifts up a hand and ticks off his offers on his fingers]

There's the sword, the spear, uh...chain whip, archery...

[that makes him look up at her instead of his fingers]

Yeah, yeah...I could teach you to shoot. That'd be pretty handy, and we could use more ranged fighters.

[anelegantmyth]

Actually I might ask Leo to help me with sword fi--archery?

[Yeeeeah, she's thought about picking up a lot of weapons while she was here. But archery never actually crossed her mind before.]

Well...it'll definitely be an experience.

[youhearthebells]

I might not look it, but I'm pretty good with a bow. I mean, I'm no Bow-Waisted Princess with it, but...

[he's aware that makes no sense, and also he just called himself a princess. Uh. Moving on.]

It'll have to wait till you're healed up, though. Drawing a bow takes a lot of shoulder and back strength.

[anelegantmyth]

Not bow waisted, but definitely a princess.

[Yeah you definitely walked into that one, Kitty.]

But of course I'll wait to heal up first. I know for a fact that Leo or Gaius would strap me down to this bed if I even tried to over exert myself.

[youhearthebells]

[siiiiigh, yeah he did.]

Make sure you get some fresh air and exercise, too. Layin' around all the time, you don't wanna waste away.

[probably shouldn't take medical advice from the kind of guy who'll rip off his bandages and go back into the field before he's healed]

[anelegantmyth]

[Oh don't worry, she doesn't trust his advice period. She's just listening to him and nodding her head out of respect. Yup.]

Baby steps, I will when I'm able to get on my feel without needing a dragon to help me.

[youhearthebells]

Yeah, yeah. [he's glad she's got her guardians. And apparently a ship full of boys who don't want bad things to happen to her]

All right, I'll see about gettin' a good solid Han-style bow, that'll be your present for gettin' better. How 'bout that?

[anelegantmyth]

[Still horribly embarrassed by the fact that of all the people who could get horribly injured. It HAD to be the ONLY girl on board. Urgh.]

..awww, Kitty, you're tryin' to get sweet on me.

[youhearthebells]

Nah. [dammit, are they too close to the island? is he going to be truthful?] I know that ain't gonna happen. I'm just showin' ya that I care about all my crew, no matter who they are.

[anelegantmyth]

Well you're definitely a good captain, Gan Ning. I really am sorry I didn't trust you guys to be there for me while I hunt for ruins. But it's good to know you guys actually care about the only girl on the ship.

[youhearthebells]

'Course we do, c'mon. [sheepish scratching at imaginary itches]

[anelegantmyth]

Ahaha...so am I to assume that I'm not allowed off the boat till this heals?

[youhearthebells]

Huh? No, why would I do that? I mean, if you can't move around that's one thing, but I ain't gonna confine you anywhere. It's not like you're in prison.

[anelegantmyth]

Really now? Remind me to tell Leo that.

[youhearthebells]

Is he givin' you shit? Captain says you can do whatever you want, but if you wanna go wandering, take somebody with ya. Okay?

[anelegantmyth]

Yes captain.

[Insert salute here.]

And Leo...well you know how protective the boy can get. But could you do me a favor? I know he's going to force training on those poor brothers of his. Could you maybe..you know...stop him somehow? He has to rest, I don't want his shoulder getting worse.

[youhearthebells]

Huh? What's he gonna do to them?

[he's not really opposed to everyone getting more fight training, so they're not bitchslapped by the Navy next time, but how forced is forced?]

I'm not inclined to interfere in their ninja team crap, so it better be for a good reason.

[anelegantmyth]

Leo hurt his shoulder saving me, and I know he won't listen if I asked him to take time to rest. Maybe he'll listen to the captain?

[youhearthebells]

Ah. Hm. Well, I'll see how he's feeling, and make him sit down if he's gonna re-injure himself. The last thing we need with hostile natives around is half the grew gettin' too hurt to fight.

[anelegantmyth]

Thank you, Ning. For everything.

[youhearthebells]

Hey, c'mon now. No need to get all sappy on me.

[he smiles, though, and reaches to pat her shoulder before turning]

Get some rest, eh?

[anelegantmyth]

I'm a girl, I'm sappy by nature.

[She does manage to grab hold of his hand before he could leave. Gaius had already gotten up and left, and her pokemon were out on patrol. Cynthia was too proud too admit it, but she didn't want to be alone just yet. Not in her current state anyway.]

Could you help me lay back down? It's usually garchomp's job. But she's not here.
