Asar-Suti shakes his head. "You just wait - there are expeditions out of here, and often enough some sort of trouble comes to see us. There are several sword fighters here, and I am sure you will find somebody to spar with. I'd recommend Alex of Tirragen, just because I know him and know he is very good, and trains zealously."

He then grins, and adds, "There are many kind of wenches, and not just the clever and aggressive sort, although I must say my best female friends here are of that sort. But there are many others that are quite different..."

Asar-Suti's voice trails off. He'll need a new female shape - Ilsa is too dangerous, and 'Ash' is generally known to be him.
