video; un aeacinos

[illusionistic]

[ Sup Ellipsa. Have a half-snake, half-human, man lounging in what appears to be the park in Nightwake. He seems grumpy as his long, winding tail, takes up a good portion of the video feed undulates, and thrashes a bit sporadically. Aeacinos himself is resting amount his coils. His clawed hand idly grips and relaxes over the shaft of his spear. ]

Who of amongst you is proficient in wielding weaponry? I wish to spar whoever comes forth. Those who are wielders of magic may use that during our session. I do not care about advantages or disadvantages. I merely wish to find worthy opponents.

[ A pause then as he gives a fanged smile. ] Perhaps I will allow the victors to ask for one favor from me as well.

[ Another pause as a sigh escapes him and that tail behind him whips and sways in an agitated sort of manner. ]

There is no war to be fought here and so...I will ask what does one do to pass the time? I am a bit lacking when it comes to what people call 'hobbies', the peace that is seemingly here makes me a bit restless. If there are beasts to kill or those who need a bodyguard, then I can provide my services. But I am no stranger to trying something new.

There can be a thousand teachers and there would still be room for you.

Every teacher has different methods, and every student learns differently. What might not work for one person will for another.

People are cool like that.

Is that so, hm? Then I suppose taking up teaching would be something I could perhaps entertain. Though there are not many who are nagas like myself, I am able to shift into a human form to make learning easier for humans. [ Though maybe he'll find others who are inhuman like himself here. ]

Are you proposing this because you wish to learn?

[vintagehardmedia]

Me?

Oh- no, no.

[Athena shook their head, perhaps a little too emphatically. While they were no stranger to dealings with beings that had a body configuration unlike their own, physical combat was another thing.]

I'm not exactly optimized for front line fighting. I've got a few tricks, but I'm better as your support unit and your pinch-hit healer.

But-- there's probably plenty here who would love to learn from someone with your experience!
