MAEA
"Of course, take your time." She waited patiently with the hands tucked behind her back, as the man completed his practice and cleaned up. There was a method and weight to every motion that reminded her of a ritual. Like each aspect had a place and purpose, and filled some vital function without which the entire exercise would be for naught.
Once his attention was returned to her, and introductions offered Maea found herself smiling back in response to the friendly demeanor.
"Pleased to meet you too, Darkeye. My name is Maea Valair," she offered in return. "I was glad for the distraction, I'll admit. My skill with the bow is negligible, and my enthusiasm for it not great. I've... practiced some with a staff, and with daggers, but I can't say I am skilled at either." As to why she wanted to learn? It was a question that gave her pause, and she rubbed the back of her neck as she thought about it.
"I was... drawn in by how seriously you took the training," she admitted. "How you seemed to know exactly what you were doing and why, and thought of nothing else for the duration. I lack that. I don't know myself anymore, and I would like to find out what my limits are. So to answer your question... I would prefer to learn how to fight with my bare hands. Or perhaps a dagger." She had no great affinity for any weapon, so it made sense to start with the basics. If he was willing and able to teach.
