[marcas]

Hello how are you.

[wyldfire]

[Whelp, time to semi-lie.]

I'm fine, Noth. How have you been since your freedom? Forgive me for not checking up on you.

[marcas]

I have been all right thank you.
You did not have to check up on me.
I have been meeting people and searching for work.
Do you attend the fight club.

[wyldfire]

I still should have. You had a hard time in the castle.
Have you found work?
I checked in on it briefly but I don't have tolerance for the kind of man that runs it. It's also a terrible movie, but that's besides the point.

[marcas]

I do not think that you should have.
It is all right.
I have not seen the movie.
I am attending fight club because of my zadza.
But I do not know how to fight the way they do.

[wyldfire]

Do you know how to fight at all?

[marcas]

Yes.
But it is not the way I am supposed to fight there.

[wyldfire]

What is the difference?

[marcas]

I only know how to rip flesh and break bone.

[ How to act like a beast hunting for food or fighting for its life. ]

[wyldfire]

I know how to fight like that too. [All Garou did.] But I can teach you to fight with form and control if you are willing to learn.

[marcas]

It is too dangerous for them.
I do not want to be dangerous.
Yes I am willing to learn.
When will you have free time.

[wyldfire]

I have a lot of free time. I go for a morning run when the sun rises. We can train after that in the late morning.

[marcas]

When you call for me I will come.
What do you want in exchange.

[wyldfire]

In exchange, I want your promise to never use what I teach you to strike a woman or child in anger. Can you do that?

[marcas]

I will never use what I am taught to strike a woman or child in anger.
This is my promise.

[wyldfire]

[She couldn't sanctify it as an oath, not through this means, so she was just going to have to trust that Noth wouldn't break his promise.]

Then I will teach you. Be ready tomorrow. I will teach you to fight with your hands and with a weapon. Knife or axe - your choice.

[marcas]

Yes.
I choose a knife.
I will bring one.
Thank you Jordana.

[wyldfire]

Bring two as I don't have one myself.

[marcas]

Two knives.

[ He nods to himself. He'll wait for her to call him tomorrow, unless there is something she'd like to add. ]

[wyldfire]

[She called as promised, having him meet her at a small clearing in the woods. She'll go over basics the first day. No need to overwhelm him with too much information at once. Each day they trained, he'd learn a little more. After two weeks, he'd be safe to join Fight Club without having to worry about serious harm.]

backdated to his talk with ren - voice

[marcas]

Hello, Jordana.

[ He's more quiet and uncertain than usual. Finally: ]

I'm glad you're alive.

[wyldfire]

I'm glad you're alive, too, Noth.

[She wasn't sure how to handle this, whatever it was, so she was going to let it play out.]

[marcas]

Thank you.

[ ... ]

You are angry with Ren?

[wyldfire]

So that's what this is about. Yes, I am.

[marcas]

Okay. [ Hesitation. A lot of it. ] ... Will you stay angry.
