[ She'll mumble a small thanks to Tashigi and for the moment just holds the cup, taking in the heat from the tea. But, unfortunately, Tashigi's right in the tea not really giving any answers. ]

Perhaps you should take to teaching self defense. There are those who teach hand to hand, but so far as I recall there are no sword instructors generally available in the city. I know I would be among the number who would appreciate such a service being available, at least.

[swordlore]

I... I think I would really enjoy that. It's something I'd like to work towards, honestly.

[Smoker had said something similar as well, but her enthusiasm's been slightly tempered.]

It's not something I can rush into, though. I have to make sure I go into it with everything I have. People could get hurt, otherwise.

[enchantressofore]

Well, in such cases I have seen people take to training weapons - made of wood or plastic so that they cannot cause grievous harm. That and most people signing up for those lessons should know ahead of time what they are in for, that it is not something that should be used lightly for its power to hurt.

[ She smiles warmly at that as she thinks about it more. ]

It is because you understand that people can be hurt by it that you should teach people how and when to use swordplay properly -- does that not already prove you would be responsible with such a task?

[swordlore]

[Adela, you're an angel. Even if you're an angel who throws wrenches. Tashigi can feel her confidence returning, and that smile is infectious.]

Training weapons, a place to use, money for bills and upkeep... I had better start saving now if we're going to make this a reality.

[There are other ideas buzzing in her head as well, but those can wait.]

[enchantressofore]

[ Honestly the conversation is helping Adela cheer up as well, and she can't help showing that even as she takes some time to sip at her tea while Tashigi talks more about it. ]

It may be your own place, though it might be worth looking into seeing if a gym will let you use their space as well - garner a reputation, with people already going there able to see the offered lessons. I know the same was suggested to me when I first arrived, albeit for my metalworks but still.

[swordlore]

Hmm, that's not a bad idea. It'd cut down on the initial costs at least, and then I'd just need to worry about materials like swords and uniforms.

[A beat, then a moment of realization.]

I'll need someone to design a uniform! Though perhaps it's best to keep it simple.

[enchantressofore]

[ She's grinning as Tashigi thinks more about it, and nods as she turns back to her tea. ]

It should be simple, I agree. I look forward to the day when your school opens, Miss Tashigi.

[ It's something nicer to think about at the least, and she's confident that Tashigi can do it as well. ]
