Several weeks in this place, Sonya knew she needed to find a jib. As much as she didn't care to get settled in this place, she needed to be practical. It was mentioned in the Network that there was a training school, a place to teach combat. So far it seemed to hit both birds: a place to earn a living as well as keep sharp on her own skills-she hoped anyway. She wasn't in the city when the Gentlemen attacked, but it set the reality that she needed to be at the top of her game-if not for her sake than others.

Her gear for the day were clean and pressed BDUs, neat , but comfortable and roomy enough incase she needed to give a demonstration. Her military dog tags were around her neck and hair hair pinned at the base of her neck.

Since she was here, she might as well get the chance to explore the area as well.

[Alright, Sonya couldn't help but laugh at that.] King Author does roll off the tongue, and I suppose some ranks and titles do just pop up out of habit.

[She nodded.] It's also a matter of finding one that weighs comfortably in your hand-too light and the recoil will be too strong, too heavy and it'll be harder on your wrist after each shot.

[True, she would eventually get used to the weight, but there was no sense in running before she could walk as the saying went.]

Indeed, and Arthur... Well, I could be wrong, but I get this... feeling that he is a honorable King and worthy of the title.

Suddenly everything about guns seems more complicated... Maybe I should try a simpler weapon...

I usually believe in gut instincts. [Granted, they didn't always serve her well, but she's still alive thanks to them, so that had to go for something.]

They're only complicated because you're still learning them. It's why I'm offering to help in the first place-makes it easier to narrow down to what you want. Also, I'd feel better owning a side arm for myself as well. [It probably won't do her much good against any gods, but she liked the thought of having one and not needing it as opposed to the opposite.]

[silverkhaleesi]

[Good, Dany is totally a believer in that.] When you get a bad feeling, it is usually wise to listen to it.

[Dany considers this for a moment.] Thank you, that is a kind offer from your part. I must admit I have seen the efficiency of guns. However, I wonder if I shouldn't consider a weapon such a a bow. It would require accuracy as well, but the arrows can be recovered after the battle...

[lt_blade]

It's kept me alive for this long. [Even if it didn't always win her friends.]

[She thought a moment, looking around as she considered. That's true, but a gun is easier to conceal and if someone tried to take you in at close quarters then you're screwed. [This is mostly her thinking outloud, as evident by the fact that she's only partially looking at Dany.] What about knife fighting-you said you were learning to throw knives-this would just be the next step. It involves accuracy as well and you'll be able to recover them like arrows. If you were to find a bowie knife, it'll serve well for fighting and throwing.

[She looked up at her then. Weapons and especially knives was something of speciality for her.]

[silverkhaleesi]

[She nods in understanding.]

Yes, you are right about that... [She considers this for a moment.] This is an idea...
