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. :) ]

*Alanna is momentarily speechless. She blinks, her eyes bright as she looks out over the lake.*

Thank you, George. *She tosses her remaining dagger in the ground and walks over, wrapping her arms around him in a hug.* Thank you. I wish... I wish they could see this. *She turns her head and watches Elaine, Meg, Faith and Svava.* More than just about anything.

He hugs her tightly, fitting her under his chin. "Maybe someday they will." he says, "I'm sure that some day very soon, another little girl will make the same choice as you, and decide she wants to be a knight. Who knows, by then, maybe she won't have to pretend.. maybe, they'll rescind that stupid rule and admit their mistake.."

*Alanna smiles* I certainly hope so, George. I'd have to spend more time around the palace, helping with training and the like. *Her eyes flash.* It will be hard to overcome such long held beliefs. If that happens, I suspect a lot more Ralons will surface.

"You'll teach them the error of their ways.." he says, smiling. "With your sword if necessary, I'm sure."

He glances over at the sword students. "Now, it looks as though I'm not needed.. so I'll take my leave for now. If m'lady Elaine wishes a dagger lesson at another time, I'm happy to oblige. And anytime you want someone to spar with, you know where to find me.."
