[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. Whatever reason they had been brought here, they needed to band together to survive.]

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.

You make it sound like a challenge.

[He needed that sort of amusement in his life. Another king that understood combat? It was a relief.]

Your sister might be better skilled than me. I always preferred the sword.

[exonerated]

Perhaps more for an open invitation. You are always welcome to approach me for a friendly spar.

There is something I meant to ask you. The royal guard assigns missions to its new recruits and I have one that I will need a hunter's eye with. Will you help?

[exonerated]

I would be honored.

[ That Jon thought to ask him is flattering in itself. ]

Will there be others joining us?

[song_of_ice]

No, it will be the two of us. Any more guards and we will attract attention.

The man we are to capture is known to be elusive.

[exonerated]

I will be all the more glad to help.

[ Elusive means many things to Edmund, but most of all, it means that their target knows what they're doing. It will not be an easy task. ]

When would you like to meet and begin this assignment?

[song_of_ice]

As soon as possible. We have to begin searching for him and planning how to bring him in.

We should meet to discuss more.

[exonerated]

So we shall, at your time and place of convenience, Jon. I will make time for you.

[song_of_ice]

Aye, that is fair. We will speak soon. Thank you, Edmund.
