[oh, she doesn't mind, she just doesn't quite know how to figure it out for a few moments, so there is some silence as she figures out which button to press. wow, technology is something.]
Anything. [quite earnestly, too] I want to learn anything you can teach me. I want to help protect people and... myself too.
( it gets easier with practice, Baby... says the woman who barely tries to practice ever )
There is much I can show you, then. I do not know what all Alan told you, but I have trained in hand to hand, swordplay, horseback and archery, among other things. All of which can help you to do both, with time and practice.
Yes, all of it. The only skill I have here is knowing how to cook and navigating, really. I killed one of those serpents, but that was a life or death situation. I'd really appreciate you teaching me what you know. I don't know how I would pay you back, but [she pauses, eyes lighting up with determination,] I will in time.
I have no need of payment. Knowing that I am helping you is reward enough for me.
( she's very firm on this, though if Babydoll insists Diana can be flexible. don't expect more from her than an occasional cooked meal and maybe paying the good deed forward, though. )
Where are you settled? I stay in Olympia, for now, but we could meet on Thesa Station if you are in Wyver.
[that seems ... odd, considering what an impression it made on her. but she doesn't really put blame on them for having it be a rule. the influx of people coming and going all the time would be chaotic.]
I'd like that. I want to understand this world as much as I can.
( it likely had to do with the Orbiters wanting them to integrate into the planet. Thesa was quite detached, ultimately; though Diana valued the ability to return when she wanted. )
I have been awake for some time now. Nearly a half year. There are things I have learned that I could share, if you have questions, though I confess much of it is new to me as well. ( a pause, then a smile. ) We will both have to learn. We can help each other.
When I think of more questions, I'll come to you about them. Maybe I'll have more by the time we meet.
[she perks up a bit more at the option of helping each other out. babydoll has learned there is not much one can accomplish alone, even if it seems to be the right thing to do at the time. having others to be there for her helped immensely.]
I think we could really do that. Help each other, I mean. If it weren't for my friends at home, I don't know where I would have ended up.
[well. she ended up with a lobotomy, but who's really looking at the details here.]

Date: 2017-12-08 01:39 am (UTC)Hi, um...Diana, right? My name is Babydoll, Alan sent me your way. He said you would be willing to teach me to fight?

Date: 2017-12-08 12:21 pm (UTC)Yes, that's right. He mentioned you. ( Diana smiles, just to put Babydoll at ease. ) I certainly can. What are you interested in learning?

Date: 2017-12-14 05:25 pm (UTC)[she is incredibly grateful, and knowing diana is so skilled gives her a great sense of relief. babydoll will not let her down.]
I am currently in Wyver, so I can meet you on Thesa Station. I have no idea where Olympia is.
[she's resourceful, though -- she could probably make her way there if necessary.]
no subject
Date: 2017-12-17 06:16 am (UTC)( she shouldn't waste her visit on training if she might need it later. as for not knowing where Olympia is, )
If you ever feel interest to travel here, I would be happy to show you the way. It is long, but not unmanageable.
