Sohalia
When Melita agreed to help her, Soh let out a breath she hadn't realized she'd been holding. "Thank you!" she said exuberantly, clasping her hands before her chest. Now that the idea was in her head, she was anxious to get started - but Melita's question brought her up short, and her brow furrowed in thought. What did she want to learn? She thought of Deimos's shield - which she had inconveniently left at home - and shook her head. It had been a thoughtful gesture, but the shield was large and unwieldy, and she wasn't particularly comfortable with using it. Perhaps an offensive weapon would be a better option.
Though she shuddered to think of actually, well, using one.
She thought about her choices. If she was being honest with herself, it was probably better that she practice something that would protect her if she had to be up close and personal with an opponent, given that she would likely only be fighting if running away wasn't an option. That eliminated the bow, then. That left knives and staves. Knives, she thought, were more deadly, with their sharp edges and ability to stab deeply. Staves seemed more likely to be able to incapacitate an opponent rather than outright killing them - and they would likely be less messy. The thought of drawing blood made her nose wrinkle with distaste. "A staff, I think.".
