[kree_soldieress]

I have been working on brushing up on things that have come to pass before my arrival here, and how what I found might allow me to provide further assistance to people.

[The woman looks... a bit nervous before she continues speaking.]

It is clear to me that the cold time of the year is approaching. There are things that may not be as available to us to do otherwise with the cold. And I have thought perhaps there are things we can do to foster a sense of community.

[Kree were very big on small unit cohesion.]

Often my people did this with combat training. This does not seem appropriate. Is there something else that people do in this season that I might be able to assist in setting up?

[Okay, maybe she wants to learn more about humans and their habits.]

If not, I can teach people to fight. It is good for fitness.

[ The suggestion makes Jon wince. ]

I- I already tried that one. Didn't go very well.

[ Pause. ]

...I nearly shot Cayde. ...and ended up hurting people.

[kree_soldieress]

[Oh, that is sad.]

I can teach you how to handle a gun as well, if you desire. I can even give you a target. The hammer would protect me.

[beholding_archivist]

[ He grimaces at the suggestion. ]

Th-thanks, but... I really don't wish to fire or even hold a gun. All I wish is to be able to clear out a room. Or move a piece of rubble without nearly breaking my back.

[kree_soldieress]

Well then, if you do not seek to learn self defense, I shall teach you other things.

[She smiles at the idea of it all.]

Legs first. Then arms. Legs balance you.

And we can totally handwave the rest of the training session if you want

[beholding_archivist]

I prefer the less violent means of defense. And apparently I can trust in you should more be required.

[ They aren't exactly in a situation that requires them to constantly fight opponents after all.

He nods. ]

Legs first. I am ready.

[kree_soldieress]

[She smiles and nods, and soon enough is setting him about a rather serious training session. One where she's always saying he can manage one more push-up, one more jumping jack, one more something. Always more. And when he's exhausted she gestures for him to stop and hands over some water.]

Here. YOu did well.

[beholding_archivist]

[ And Jon will do his best. Which generally means that his performance will start rather poorly, but improve, though he remains far from delivering flawless results. Now since his body has come to recover comparatively quick, Jon doesn't exhaust right away at least and his stubborn ass takes well to the pushes given by Lauri.

But there comes the point where even Jon can't push himself any further and gladly accepts the offered water while dropping down to sit on a piece of crumbled wall while trying to catch his breath still. ]

Th-thanks, Lauri. I... I sure feel like hell. Which I assume is entirely normal.

[kree_soldieress]

I am not sure what hell is, but if you feel strained and tired, that is not bad. Have a bit more water. Then stretch slowly to cool your body. This is all very normal. Though I suppose we did not go long.

[But she was a warrior designed to fight for many days on end, so her metric for fatigue was very different.]

[beholding_archivist]

I assure it was long enough for someone like myself.

[ He says this between sips of water and a look down at his sweaty self. ]

At least I won't have any trouble sleeping tonight. My body may need that extra recovery.

[kree_soldieress]

It shall. Allow it that. And if you can, consume additional protein.

[She finds water for herself and sips from that as well.]

If you return tomorrow, we will do a lighter day, just stamina. We can alternate daily goals.

[beholding_archivist]

[ Jon gives a nod, which doesn't mean that he will necessarily heed the advice to find some protein. Though he is still curious as to whether or not his body remembers how to process is. ]

Then I will see you tomorrow.

[kree_soldieress]

It will be a pleasure. You have been very fun to work with.

[She grins and nods.]

I will be ready for you.
