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.

Well there's really no point in talking about Fenimore, since you know as much as I do. I think Stella is more or less the same and I don't know her that well. I mean, she is a mom, after all. Ukyo is umm... she makes food. It's not bad, either. Not really my usual thing, but tasty? I haven't exactly seen her fight or anything, but she seemed pretty agile even just... serving food. Xion has plent of experience, though her preference for weaponry tends to border on the... well, ridiculous. She used a sword that was like a key, basically. Key-shaped. Now it's more... axe-sword shaped. A swaxe, really. Still, she's a pretty good fighter, though I think she's more used to relying on... magic or something. [It's all so very, very vague.] Elizabeth is really good. I ended up sparring with her not too long ago. She's pretty shy about actually fighting since it's apparently not 'cute' or something. Still, she's good. I almost thought she'd beat me during our spar, too. Charlotte is kind of... hard to tell. I'm pretty sure she has no talent, but thanks to umm... certain experiments, I think she's got a lot of potential if she puts the work into it. Or maybe that only works in another universe. [A BEAT to breathe.] And... I've never met the other two.

[kyoshi]

Sounds like you're pretty well informed about my girls. [HMMM. She'll have to fix that.] Maybe the next time you see them they can surprise you.

[Unlike some people, she is a wonderful teacher. Ohoho. even if he's still stronger]

[markofthewise]

Well... it's not like that! I mean, it's not like I know every girl around here or something.

[... just most of them.]

[kyoshi]

You do know an awful lot, though. Should I be worried?

[Besides the fact that she's wearing his necklace and all.

...Well, he is living with his ex still. 8|;;]

[markofthewise]

Maybe I just wanted to get to know plenty before I picked the best one.

[YEAH that should win him some points.]

[kyoshi]

[Oh yeah, way to butter her up, Mister Thunderaxe.]

You're lucky you made the right choice, in that case.

[markofthewise]

Well, it wasn't a particularly hard one, really.

[He could even logically explain why she was the best choice, but that would probably get him hit.]

[kyoshi]

[Yeah, he made the right call with that, too. It gets him a cuddle instead of a smack.]

Good answer.

[markofthewise]

[WELL.

Looks like Sokka knows what he's going to be doing for a little bit longer now.]
