prince: Arthur, lit from behind, looks back over his shoulder, expectant, staring to smile. (✖ one velvet morning)

[ since the elevators malfunctioned, arthur's returned to dressing in full armour constantly, and so he's clad now in chain and plate as he addresses the screen. he's sweaty, dirty-blond hair plastered to a forehead pinkened with exertion, though his breathing is even. ]

Evening, Tranquility. Back home, in Camelot, I spent a large amount of my time training the knights; and with their honour and devotion, as well as their skills, I honed them into the finest warriors in the realm.

[ there's something rose-tinted about that nostalgia. he's right at the point where he's starting to forget to miss camelot, sometimes, and he's clinging onto thoughts of it fiercely. ]

Though my men are not with us, and I'm lacking an armoury—

[ some amusement in his tone at that. ]

—I thought perhaps I'd extend the offer to any who wish to learn to defend themselves. You'll be assigned training tasks to improve your general fitness and understanding of strategy, and I'll teach you the sword. I'm skilled in plenty of weapons, but not many of them can be substituted with sticks.

[ and then he draws his blade from its scabbard, twirls it in his hand with idle showiness. ]

The amount of time I'll have available will obviously depend on the level of interest. I've already got a couple of pupils, but I welcome more, so long as you're willing to work hard and obey orders. You may think it absurd, but a blade never runs out of bullets.

[ obviously nobody's told him about blasters. ]

You can use the SEC gym.
There's usually enough space free.


[Considering all the gyms are fucking huge. And maybe she kind of wants to keep an eye on this.]

Mats are better to fall on than grass.
Could use some of the standing bags for dummies.
+ it's closer to medical.


[And she's pretty sure Ned would find some reason to be pissed about people bleeding in the gardens.]

Decent.
Wasn't the focus of my training but I can adapt + improvise.

Guess I prefer the indignities of that over the indignities of not being able to defend myself without a weapon.
