Well... now that the draft is over, I think it's a good time to do this. Because of all the fighting we have do while we're here, either by choice or by force, it's a good idea to have some understanding of combat in case of an emergency. From what I heard about this last battle, even the people who took refuge weren't able to stay out of the fight. We can't really afford to take chances like that anymore, and I'd like to do something about that- so I have a proposal for the girls of Luceti.

First of all, I'm Suki. I know I look young, but where I'm from, I lead a group of girls known as the Kyoshi Warriors. We're well-trained in combat, and the focus of our style is a mix of defense, stealth, and using our opponent's strength against them. Girls are often smaller and not as strong as men, and it's very important to never view that as a weakness.

None of my warriors are here right now, but I want to start the group here anyway. There's no age limit, no experience needed, you just have to be willing to listen and learn. If you'd like to join, or ask me questions, please, let me know, okay? And if you don't want to get involved in my group, Buffy runs a fighting school as well, and I'm sure there's plenty of great teachers willing to help there, too.

I just don't want to see anyone else get hurt if it can be avoided, so... I hope you'll all think about it.

If it's that important, then I don't have a problem. I've just never been in a group formal enough that it had uniforms, I guess.

You can wish all you want, but it won't get anything done. Better to take action, if you ask me.

That's true, seeing my mother often gave me encouragement during my training.

[Not to mention that it was like some sort of goal, to be as good as her so she would be proud.]

Do you have in mind any meeting schedule or something? Anything to prepare that I could help with?

Um. Shiki at All Passions can sew.

Okay, okay! I'm coming.

Better?

Makes sense to me. Though actually, back home, the uniforms helped us identify who our enemies were in battle. We never really got around to making a dress code.

Make... what? Uniforms?

[OH. Well, he is remarkably good at getting kisses. And returning them. The whole benefit of being engaged and all. After breaking from the kiss, he just slides his arm around her shoulder, casually.]

Sooo... have you thought about uniforms for all your new recruits yet?

Split over a few squads, around the world.

[He idly plays with the tassel on her headpiece with the hand he has wrapped around her. The other one he kind of waves about as he talks.]

Well I know I didn't exactly talk to you or anything, but... I kind of told Shiki you might do something like this and if she could put some uniforms together.

[Okay studying... studying... it's a pretty small picture, but she nods]

Oh... oh, okay. I'm sure Shiki could handle that.

Well, I hope it works out. With luck, you'll have a few months to get started.

True... I kinda liked what most of us were wearing, though, with the camouflage and everything. Pretty practical.

... Though your uniform is pretty cool in its own way.
