Rosa... you may just be a woman after Nida's own heart. Metaphorically.
"It really does make you more capable in a fight, doesn't it? I took a lot of acrobatics training as part of combat instruction at my academy. Among other things. I've found it's more useful than a lot of people give it credit for. Mix it with a martial style, like I do with polearms, and you get more out of a weapon than people dare to expect. And isn't that always an edge..."
Swords. That's an issue. But he crosses his arms over his chest thoughtfully. Will have to figure that one out.
"What's your name? I'll reach out over the network if I can find someone to teach you swords. I'm sure there are a few around town, I just haven't met them yet. I'd suggest Seifer, but he was more gunblade, and that isn't a full translation. And he might be a terrible teacher. As for hand to hand, if you can handle boxing, I can probably put you in touch with a few people."
He watches her spin the sword a bit before answering. Just going with the simple and mostly the truth answer. Which he gives as an easily delivered lie with a properly bashful smile.
"Was doing some rooftop stuff to stay in practice. Combination of slickness and an unfortunately placed rock when I fell. I mean, nothing else was hurt, just a sprain. But I sure managed that pretty impressively. Frankly I'm not supposed to be on my feet right now but..."
Well, he shrugs and gives one of those 'what can you do' smiles.
"This place was too important to just leave empty for so long. In the days it took me to get mobile to come evaluate it, someone's already moved in to the upper level. Nice enough guy, but the downstairs and upstairs are separate. You're welcome down here any time you want from when he unlocks the door in the mornings to when I close it up in the evenings. Normally I suggest someone with a green power around if you're going to do heavy action, just because it can be good for your health."
