Su Jiuqing.

[he waits until a pause in her efforts to speak up, calling out from a safe distance so as not to startle her too much.]

How are your efforts proceeding?

[countermeasures]

[ ! ]

Oh, Emet-Selch.

[she looks surprised, but not surprised enough to drop the knife, at least.]

...not as well as I'd like. It doesn't really feel natural to me yet, but that will come with practice, won't it? [a beat] Oh, did you need the space to train?

[ktiseos]

I do not, no. You may continue if you wish.

[his glance drops to the knife, as he steps closer.]

But I suppose nothing will truly feel comfortable in one's hands without growing properly accustomed to it.

[countermeasures]

I suppose not...

[she frowns down at the knife a little]

I'm not all that used to weapons, really. I know how to treat injuries caused by them, but...

[ktiseos]

It will be a useful skill here, it seems, if things carry on as they have been, but I would not expect such familiarity too soon.

[it would be troubling, if everyone was just. immediately skilled with weaponry.]

[countermeasures]

It's a skill I'd rather not need, but I would certainly prefer to have it if I do.
