[With the matter of jobs settled, there was less on his mind and less focus on how he would survive. With more time on his hands, he was able to turn to helping the rest of the survivors, especially those that he had spoken to.

I know not everyone present has had to learn combat or come from places that are generally peaceful. Whether or not we stay in this city or travel somewhere more dangerous, it is wise to learn how to protect yourselves.

For those that have an interest, I practice and train in the courtyard among the other guards. If you want to wield a blade or understand basic defense, come and meet me there. I will teach and train you.

Sure. The pointy end goes in the other guy.

It's a bit more complicated than that, but yes.

You will at least be familiar with dodging and offense. We will need to fit you with a practice sword until you can handle a steel one.

Just like that? You're accepting recruits?

[ Bucky figures that means he's either real good, or real bad. ]

[song_of_ice]

Recruits? Not exactly. I will train whoever needs or wants it.

[He wasn't about to turn someone away when it meant their potential survival.]
