Out by the lake: Elaine's sword lesson

[the_lioness]

*Alanna stands by the lake, humming and examining a set of throwing knives. Elaine's next sword lesson is scheduled to start soon, and Alanna keeps an eye on the bar door in the hopes that George, Svava and Archie put in an appearance as well.*

[OOC: Anyone is welcome to come watch or join in. :) ]

Elaine skips over from where she's been talking to Ryan, and grins. "Good even, Alanna. And what is in the plans for tonight?"

She's terribly enthusiastic and in a wonderful mood.

[the_lioness]

*Elaine's mood is apparently contagious, as the previously subdued Alanna suddenly remembers how to smile. She bows.*

Good evening, Elaine. Tonight? *She pauses, her smile teasing. As she speaks, she starts stretching.* What is tonight?

[maid-of-astolat.livejournal.com]

Elaine isn't fooled, and nothing can really get her down. "Lessons, silly." She laughs. "Oh, I'm so glad to be back."

[the_lioness]

*Alanna grins, motioning for Elaine to start stretching as well.*

And I am doubly thrilled to see you again. George might wander out at some point. He's an expert with knives, so I thought he might be able to show you a thing or two as well.

*Bigby exits the bar carrying a human-shaped Millie, and spots the entourage of women carrying weapons. He heads over.*

Svava manages to glance over, and give Bigby and Millie a nod and faint smile, before back to watching Alanna and Elaine, to follow and copy their movements.

*He nods at Svava, and approaches during a break. Millie watches a bit, fascinated.*

And during a break, there's a grin and finger wave to Millie.

"Out walking?" Then a bit of a smile to Bigby.

"How are you both today?

Faith is near the lesson, watching.

She is also sharpening a very large sword.

[the_lioness]

Faith! *Alanna trots over.* It's a shame to sharpen such a fine sword unless you intend to use it! Come join us. *She grins.*

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith grins back. "You sure you want me to? Not nice to embarass the teacher in front of the students, you know."

[big-b-wolf.livejournal.com]

*Bigby looks at Faith and sidles over. He glances at her weapon of choice.*

Shouldn't that be a scythe-thing?

[faithful-slayer.livejournal.com]

Faith looks over at him, eyebrows raised. "What? Why would it be?"

[the_lioness]

Good evening, Bigby! *Alanna grins.* And Millie, of course. How are you?

[big-b-wolf.livejournal.com]

Good, thanks. Did you manage to catch up to Lecter? I didn't see sign of him before I left.

[the_lioness]

*Alanna bites her lip.* Lecter is currently ensconced in the cells. I arrested him two nights ago. A woman named Clarice aided me. He wouldn't have submitted without her interference, of that I am certain.

"Awww man, come on Indy. It'd just be for a second. She totally wouldn't mind. Especially if we took pictures."

Why yes, that is the sound of a whiney Mike as he and Indy round the edge of the building. They have yet to see the Sparring women folk.

[henry-jones-jr.livejournal.com]

The growled reply speaks volumes through tone alone. "How many times do I have to say no. And shit... you take pictures and they'd be round the bar in no time. Poster-size probably."

He pauses at the sound of metal clashing and looks over to the women. Being somewhat pre-occupied with the task just accomplished elsewhere (http://www.livejournal.com/users/mnt_mike/2745.html), they have strayed rather close to the group.

Indy freezes as he spots Alanna, making a low strangulated noise in his throat to bring the predicament to Mike's attention.

[mnt_mike]

Mike turns towards Indy, and responds with the same noise, on his has a higher inflection at the end. A question, if you will.

*Meg heads out back for her daily practice with whatever weapon she feels like practicing with.

She stops and starts waving enthusiastically, however, when she sees a bunch of other people out there with swords. Yay!*

[the_lioness]

*Alanna swings her sword at her side and waves back.*

Meg! It's about time I got you out here for a good practice without the threat of impending doom. Come join us!

[balletrat]

I've been trying! *Meg says, with a grin.* I think my time zone is just messed up from the rest of you or something -

*She trots over, pulling out her cutlass as she goes.*

Archie approaches Alanna and the others from the direction of the bar (He'll get a proper entrance later). He still has the rolling gait of a man who's spent most of his adult life at sea.

As he reaches them he sweeps into a low bow, grinning.

"No man could ask for such fair company. How do you fair my ladies?"

[the_lioness]

Hello, Archie. *Alanna bows and glances toward Svava with a grin.* I'm afraid we got started without you. Svava's doing quite well. Are you still interested in sparring?

[skjaldmeyjar.livejournal.com]

And with much millitiming, after she's gotten trounced a couple times by Faith- (hey, go flying from a couple hits, that's definitly being trounced), Svava makes her way over with a wave and grin.
