[ This is pretty formal for an introduction but she doesn't really know how else to address a large group of military strangers. Best to just post it and hope for the best... ]

Hello, everyone. This is Kagura Reika. I'm a recent arrival to Audentes; I would like to request for assistance regarding a few things.

First is acquiring a sword or a weapon of a similar size. My own was deemed unusable, and I'm looking for a replacement as well as anyone who might be willing to train with me during the downtime we have now.

Secondly, I'm seeking to learn how to cook proper food beyond simple meals. Please let me know if you can do so and have some time to spare, I'll repay any help given to me.

Thank you.

[ It's a good pun, which gets her a soft smile. ]

I'll be happy to spar with you whenever. I train regularly at the centre, so if you're free to drop by we can work together.

[ The room gives her a hard light sword, at least. ]

Oh that would be wonderful! [ they're roughly the same size too? ish? haise always did say that sparring with someone of her size would be helpful in the beginning. besides, reika definitely has more experience under her belt to work with, so that would make up for anything! ] Thank you, Reika! It's very kind of you to offer.

[ It's settled, then! Her debt will be repaid. ]

All right! Just let me know when would be good for you. [ And also: ] Do you mind if I take some of the stew back with me?

[ Since they've already made food it'd be a shame to let it go to waste. ]

[winces]

Oh, please take as much as you'd like! [ she really only has saffron and lucina to feed at this point, and once is a pickier eater than the other... more in that he prefers his meat raw, heh. ]

Thank you.

[ She'll have to pack it and clean the kitchen - Olivia did most of the cooking, so she should clean instead. ]

I'll wash up. Go ahead and head back if you'd like, Olivia. You should rest!

Oh — are you sure, Reika...? I couldn't possibly leave you with this mess!

[ she is not necessarily the neatest of cooks, after all. and she is certainly no stranger to menial work. ]

[p66]

I'm sure. Don't worry about it.

[ She's been nothing but kind, and this is repayment. ]

[winces]

If.. you're sure...

[ she beams at the young woman though, glad to have been able to impart some of her skills on another. ]

I look forward to tasting your own meal someday, Reika. I'm positive it will be delicious!
