@javert, voice

[policier]

( Javert's not interested in pleasantries, so he's just going to get right to the point, )

Will you be ready to teach combat training next week?

( He's been impressed with what he's seen of Jason so far, so the decision to make him an instructor is a fairly easy one. He handled himself well during the town hall meeting, and setting up the game of capture the flag. It's earned Javert's respect. )

I'm ready. Where and when would you like me to start?

[He feels like a location was mentioned at some point, but he wants to be sure he knows it.]

Would this be for the non-weapons combat? I wasn't sure if we had anything available to us for anything more than that.

[policier]

We will begin on the second of the month, the day after the ferry arrives. I have already spoken to Monsieur Rastus about procuring us some swords, and there are knives at the general store. Do you have any interest in teaching armed combat, or would you only prefer to only teach unarmed?

( He did say at the meeting that he was proficient in weaponry. He didn't mention swords specifically, so Javert just has to ask to make certain. )

We will meet at the gymnasium. Though I have taken Monsieur Kol's suggestion under advisement, and will take our training out of doors on occasion.

[notthatjason]

We'll have swords soon? [There's relief mixed with a bit of excitement. It would probably be nowhere NEAR as nice as the imperial gold sword he had lost, but it was something.] I can teach either, though I'd definitely be more comfortable teaching others how to use a sword since I had to do that a lot back home with my cohort.

[Before he'd been promoted to praetor anyway. Then his job had become too big to regularly act as a sword or spear trainer, still he'd had enough experience with it that it would be easy to fall back into.]

Whatever you need me to do, I'm willing to.

[policier]

Then that is what I'll have you do. I have someone else who willing to teach unarmed combat, as well, but it does no harm to have options.

( In case someone gets hurt, or is otherwise incapacitated. He's relieved to hear that Jason is willing to step in where he's needed. That's just another admirable trait that he has. )

You may keep one of the swords, if you wish. I do not know what sort of condition they may be in, but you may consider it a thank you for what you've done, and for your help.

[notthatjason]

I lost my sword before I got here...so it will be nice to have a sword again. Thank you very much. I will make sure to earn that sword then and train anyone interested up well.

[policier]

I'm certain it shall be a comforting thing to have, should our town ever get attacked again.

( His voice softens, and he doesn't sound quite as stern when he says, )

You are welcome. I will see you when our first class begins, unless you have any other questions.

[notthatjason]

[It's strange, to feel so grateful for a sword he hasn't even seen yet. Nothing so terrible as to warrant a sword has happened yet and unlike others he HAS abilities to use in a fight...but regardless he'd still feel better with something sharp. He is definitely determined to protect Beacon just as he would New Rome or Camp Half-Blood.]

None right now. We'll see if that changes after our first class
