After much persuasion, G has finally agreed to start training me to fight. I think he realizes that his promise of "I will protect you, Merci," isn't going to comfort me as much as it did prior to last night's attack. Granted, he did protect me...but what if he wouldn't have been there? He understands the seriousness of this. He was probably just hesitant because he knows it will be a headache for him. Which makes me that much more grateful that he has agreed to do this.
I will likely need to give him a damsel-in-distress act occasionally to boost his ego. Also, I will need to remember to not boast when I am better with a weapon than he is. That likely won't be good for future intimate relations should they occur.
He took me to the Arena tonight and practically forced me into a ring. I know it was my idea, and he was quick to point that out, but I was so nervous I thought I would throw up.
Those are really tough people in there. I was intimidated because I am so utterly out of my comfort zone. I am not accustomed to not being confident in my abilities but I am not at all confident there. I can barely hold a weapon properly. I actually managed to drop my practice sword and trip over it. What must G'nort have been thinking when he watched me? Was he embarrassed by being there with me?
I am quite tired, it has been a busy day and my muscles are aching a little from having to hold up those practice weapons for so many hours today. I will try to write more tomorrow.
