Dionysus At the compound, you find her in the practice field, wielding an axe against Varhail, the old dwarven training sergeant.

Dionysus She's doing well, but he's clearly pulling his blows for practice.

Dionysus At least, that's what they tell you.

Dionysus They tell you how one day, she asked the servants where she could fight, & they sent her here.

Dionysus And how when she came, she nearly took a recruit to pieces in sparring.

Dionysus And since then, she spars with any male that comes in like her life depended on it.

• Arsul_T frowns. "At least she has something to do. How does she fight with other women?"

Dionysus "She ignores 'em."

Dionysus "She's good, though. No one makes the mistake of cracking jokes at her, either."

Arsul_T "Well she needs to work things out. I just hope she doesn't hurt anyone." he'll sit and wait for her to finish her sparring.

Dionysus "Well, she's good, but we're better. Varhail trained Damon Argent hisself."

Dionysus After about five minutes, they stop sparring as Lucilla lands one last blow. Varhail growls, "Gettin' worthwhile, girl."

Dionysus She grunts & turns. "F-father." It's the loudest you've heard her speak.

Arsul_T "You've learned some Marradonian? I'm glad to hear you Lucilla."

Dionysus "N-not much."

Dionysus Varhail growls, "Aye, we're teachin' her proper languages. Not decent language, but proper language."

Dionysus Lucilla says, "Remember some."

• Arsul_T grins "That's good, very good."

Dionysus "Learning fight."

Arsul_T "I hear. I'll wait for you to finish?"

Dionysus She shrugs, "Never finish."

• Arsul_T nods "Fair enough."

Arsul_T "I--I'm glad you found something to learn."

Dionysus "Never hurt again."

• Arsul_T grimaces slightly. "No, never." he agrees

Dionysus She nods, then turns back to sparring.

• Arsul_T will sit on the sidelines listening

Dionysus Eventually, a servant comes to inform you of the gig

• Arsul_T thanks them and asks Lucilla if she'd like to come before going himself. Also he'd send someone to fetch his cello if he can?

Dionysus Lucilla just says, "Fighting."

Dionysus Someone agrees to fetch the cello.

• Arsul_T nods. "Can I come tomorrow to hear you fight?"

Dionysus She shrugs.

• Arsul_T frowns when he doesn't hear anything. "All right, I'll see you soon hopefully."

Dionysus "Yes."

• Arsul_T smiles at that and goes with Hunny
