*She gritted her teeth, She didn't really want to talk about what had happened. If anything, self-defense should be more than enough of an answer to his question. She wouldn't be asking if something didn't already happen or something was going to happen.* 

"If I wanted someone else to solve my problems, I wouldn't come to a place where I can learn to solve my own problems. If you don't have anything to teach me then just tell me already." 

*To make the situation worse she was cold again, so this chatting in the cold wasn't entirely fun for her. If he wanted to talk they could've done it back at the canteen.* 

"The purpose for my self-defense lesson is complicated. I don't think you would get it even if I tried, but since you fed me I'll give you a chance. It's to defending... Myself.."

*It seems there's no point in pressing further. Indeed, now Sirdan's doubting why he chose to ask the question in the first place.* 

"I apologize. Let's start with the basics then. What kind of weapons you fight with? And would you like some live practice? I work the best when it comes to techniques for fighting, in the combat itself. Personally, I am best at fighting with a sword and board, but I can make do with other weapons too."

"Go on and pick one of those training weapons - we don't train with live sharpened steel for the most part." *Sirdan pointed at some weapons sitting on a rack in the corner - with a variable association of blunted polearms, swords, mace, and daggers, weighed with steel.*

"I'm still learning how to use the Kusarigama. I'm pretty decent with daggers though. Unless someone is armored then I'd rather not." 

*Celeana sighed and placed her own sharpened daggers into their holsters before walking over to the assortment of weapons. She picked up a sword in one hand and a dagger in the other. She had no clue how to use the sword however so she held that in her right hand. It was rather obvious by her stance that she was left hand dominant.* 

"I guess I'm ready when you are?" *Not exactly sure if she should just start swinging at Sirdan much like she did at Oda in her last lesson*
Albert
"Ku... Kusar... Kusareekarma. Alright. That is..." *He looked at her for any sign of this Kusaree karma. If he found none, he'd be confused, if he did, he'd feel hopeless instructing her how to use a chain weapon - he is more of the brute force type.* 

*Sirdan walked over to grab his own training weapon, a singular training longsword - which he held in one hand, and a kite shield - one of his favorite. Sirdan's own tower shield were located in the corner, painted red and white.* 

"You fight light and with nimbleness. I fight with strength and endurance. Let's see if we can work on that. Use your dagger to control my sword, don't let me land a strike on you, and hit me with your sword in my throat." 

*Sirdan readied his sword, carefully focusing on her.*
