"Ohhh! I think we should pack some of this for trail rations!" I say, nabbing a handful of dried fruits, snacking on them. I look at the armory and start to head in.
"Oh, I need someone to teach me how to fence and how to shoot a bow! Don't worry, improvising is my specialty! I'm a good study!" I say as I look for a nice looking bow, perferably one of a really nice looking one.

Shi'ita:
You find quite a few bows, with quivers and arrows.
Desta:
You surprisingly succeed at holding food with your tail, however precariously. It is obvious that you won't be perfect at this.
Nero:
After ingesting so much meat so quickly, your stomach cries out in shock after having not eaten much of anything for two months. You feel quite ill. However, you do see quite the selection of blades.
"Perhaps weapons should come after physical training," Zazigh replies.
Jasmine:
You find a nice-looking bow, but it seems a bit...big...for you. Probably designed for large people, or for stationary combat.
"I can teach you fencing," Zazigh says.

I walk by Shi'ita and attempt to place the dried fruit in his hands as I don't think I can hold it for too long with my tail and continue chewing on the meat slowly as I look at the bows and arrows as well as look around for a blade...maybe a whip? I had never really used weapons other than my own body before and it would be interesting to try something new...

Shi'ita examines the bows, though having a touch more interest in the crossbows, and turns for a moment towards Jasmine, his interest mostly in the bows and crossbows still, as he looked for something which took advantage of his body strength while as compact as possible. If i can go flying, weighing less while still having the impact of a larger one is better."I knew my ranged weapons, mostly the bow and crossbow family and whips...though i can't say how good teaching I'd be." he says before noticing Desta trying to give him the dried fruits, "What's this for? If they're not sweet, I can't eat them..." he murmurs.

I look over to Shi'ita with a neutral expression. "I don't know if they're sweet, but they're for you to do whatever with, and I can't hold them with my tail much longer... I'm not a monkey after all..." I speak a bit more teasingly at the end and smile softly.

I blink in surprise at my actions going relatively unnoticed, then select two close combat ambush swords and look for a sash to place them on my back.
"Hey batty, I could go looking for wild sweet berries out there as we train," I say with a smile as I search.
"We can be gatherers, you and I, and I can teach you what to look for, too. As for honing our physical capabilities..."
I pace around slightly as I try to visualize what exercises and training we could do. As I pace in a slight circle, my tail brushes Tellat's lower back, Laci's collarbone, and Desta's upper abdomen, almost her chest. I don't really notice as I mumble to myself, then I look at the two cats (Laci and Desta of course) and smile at them.
"My fellow felines, we can work on our climbing and ambush...like this!" I say with a happy laugh, playfully launching toward Tellat but not quite touching her. I turn around again after pretending to launch at Tellat, and I look at Laci briefly to see her reaction. Then I look at Desta...long and determined, right into her eyes.
Do you care? Do you care for me?

I watch Nero with amusement and a bit of surprise as his tail gets personal and he mentions us honing our skills. "I may not know too much about fighting with weapons, but I definitely having climbing, ambushing and other physical skills down... Being a street rat has its advantages..." I stand up on my two feet and cross my arms over my chest.

I get a little closer to Desta and raise an eyebrow.
"So you were a cat before your time..." I smile and I get closer, stroking the flats of my blades, and I look up into her eyes again. I get up a little closer with determination.
"Perhaps you can...teach me more..." I say in a curious voice, honestly wanting to learn but also sounding...prodding for something.

I raise a brow with a look that's a mix of concern and interest. "Depends on what you're asking to be taught... For example," I softly run my hand down Nero's arm in an almost seductive manner and make an expression just as so. "You can learn grace..." I speak softly just as I grab his wrist and spin him around so I have him around the waist and my other hand with the claws pointed at his throat. I then lean in and whisper in his ear. "Or you could just learn brute force..." I then spin him back around and shove him onto the ground, my hands poised in a choking gesture, but not actually doing so. I look down at him with a smirk just before letting him go, backing up and falling back onto all fours beside Shi'ita.

Shi'ita took the dried fruits though didn't know what to do with them, and ended up just setting them down for the time near his feet, "I wonder, I could do at least three times my weight in pounds. Did becoming this way change that for me? Guess best way to find out is to see first hand." .He then picks out a crossbow that looked to have similar pounds as the ones he could handle before, along with some bolts for it

I'm so caught off guard that I'm putty in Desta's hands and dumbfoundedly stare at her motions, my heartbeat accelerating. I'm so confused...what was she just...what was she suggesting? I wanted to be closer to her, to provoke her to reveal more things about her, but...was I giving into my flesh or appearing like I was? What am I DOING?! What DO I do?
I stand up only to get on all fours and I shake out my mane.
"I...really need to learn...grace..." I say embarassedly, pawing at my head bashfully.

Despite, it's awkward size, I decide to take the bow anyways, seeing as it was so nice looking and well made! I search around for a hip quiver, some arrows, and a practice target to fire out. I turn back to Ziggy, who offered his expertise.
"Thanks! You got any kinda formal trainin' in fencing, or what? I always kinda assumed you military types would be more practiced in heavier blade then dueling blades though everyone's got their hobbies and such!" I reply back.

"Nero, you're still hopless," I say cheerfully, and takt some meat, and fruit, and eat them slowly as I browse the weapon selection looking for the right crossbow, and broadsword. After all, a dragon needs the finest of things, well the best they can get their claws on. "About the fighting with tooth and claw, I still think I'd rather not have to if possible. But I do know something about brawling, kind of have to if you hang out at bars!"

Nero:
You find only one sword that would be considered "ambush-worthy." However, there is also a nice sword that looks like it could do some damage without being too much of a burden. As for sashes, you do find one, but it doesn't hold two swords without trying to bend downwards. Obviously not the best sash around...
Desta & Nero:
Zazigh just laughs as Nero gets thrown around. Tellat watches with awe.
"I'd like to learn, too!" Tellat calls out.
Shi'ita:
You easily find a crossbow that is roughly the size you need. You also find some bolts for it.
Jasmine:
You find a hip quiver, though it looks like it's seen better days. Perhaps it was used in the final struggle between the people of this castle and the Eleixandre? Speaking of which, Zazigh never did explain why he is so attached to this particular castle other than losing family here. However, you find arrows in a giant crate full of them. As for targets, you find a room full of them!
Selphie:
You find a sturdy crossbow that looks bigger than Shi'ita's and sturdy enough to withstand your drunken flailing (you DID break quite a few things during your last drunken romp...). The broadsword presents a much harder choice: big and imposing, or bigger and fear-inducing? Of course, the bigger it is, the harder it falls. But, same goes for heads! Right?

I watch Nero with amusement as he seems quite surprised and then glance at Zazigh and Tellat with a proud smirk. "Maybe I'll teach you soon, Tellat, a girl has got to know how to take care of herself," I say with a smile before walking over to look at the weapons. Particularly for a dagger and maybe a whip... that seemed like it would be fun....
