"Oh don't worry, I think I figured out the place by now" 

*She rolled her eyes, though he wouldn't have seen it. She almost forgot how cold it was outside as she walked onto the field as a gust of cold air whipped through her. Her goal today was to learn how to defend herself without any weapons, and to possibly escape restrains without a tool as well.* 

"Do you know how to take someone down who is stronger than you, or do you know how to escape being tied without any tools?" 

*Her hands found her arms once more as she tried her best to retain any warmth she had.*

"...Alright." 

*Sirdan said, rolling their eyes and looking at her. Then he looked at the other elf, thinking on her question.*

"To take down someone stronger than you... If they are truly stronger and more than a match in skills, then there isn't much way to do it. We live in an unfair world. One in which you can thrust a sword through a peasant and kill them, and a skilled, rare warrior would take one as if it is a surface wound." 

"As for being tied without any tools... I'm not much of a rogue, I imagine if you are strong enough, you could just break out the rope." 

*He scratched his head at how useless he sounded.* 

"I don't believe in taking down someone stronger than you through skills alone - you must acquire supernatural strength and brawn. Know where to land your weapons, and back it up with the strength of titan and flesh of a steel. It is the way you survive in this world. Or bring friends, a lot of friends." 

"I can help you with acquiring those strength and skills - but it will take a while. And I know that when one is under duress - fighting for their life... Or perhaps in middle of combat, taking down others or sapping their life, one grow even quicker." 

"So, how about a bit of training, and I'll see if I can hook you up with one of the easier tasks we have here?"

*Celeana couldn't help the frown that formed across her lips. The point of her coming here was to learn something that would help her get out of the situation she had before, if it were to happen again. The frown grew larger when he mentioned friends as well, something she also didn't have. The Canifor was rather insistent that Celeana should stay away, wanting nothing to do with the Thief.*
 
"I guess. Can anyone really break rope with strength alone though?"

*The thought of someone ripping rope with their bare hands sounded so unlikely in Celeana's mind. Maybe if it was yarn or a thread of sorts. But braided rope was an entirely different story.*
*Celeana reached for her daggers, assuming that this instructor want a demonstration much like the last one. Scanning for an opening, something to throw her blades at. She wanted to impress the instructor, she wouldn't allow herself to have another terrible experience like the last time she was here.*

*The elf rubbed his chin.* 

"I haven't really experimented too much with that. I suppose it'd be much easier if say, you were a canifor or some sort with claws, but then they'd just put you in chains. Plenty around the city." 

*The instructor quickly backed off instinctively as Celeana reached for her daggers, his hand almost instantly reaching out for the sword on his side.* 

"...Slow down there, don't reach for your weapon without a word, Ms.Celeana. Anyway. You seems to be here for a... Purpose, what is the purpose you seek this self-defense lesson for?"
