They'd returned to Sohalia's shop after Tal had finished sharpening his dagger, taking their time to return to the city. Soh placed a closed sign in the window, and together, they cleared a practice area in the shop. After running upstairs briefly to grab a few butter knives, Soh returned down to the shop and offered one to Tal. She was tired from their exertions thus far that day, but she was eager to see what he had to teach her about daggers.

"So," she said. "What should I know first?" She stood somewhat awkwardly, holding the butter knife in one hand and feeling rather ridiculous and certainly not in the least bit threatening. Not that she wanted to be threatening, but if she was going to be fighting, she figured she probably should be, right? "Does it feel different with a real dagger? I feel like I should be getting ready for dinner," she joked.
