Soro had all but forgot her training with the blade when she had been given magic and been put into a position where she no longer needed to know how to use swordplay. Now things were different and much had happened to change the half elf half fae in both personality and magic. So the now Twenty-three year old red head set out to get some much needed training. Today she was dressing in a pink skirt with a white blouse that showed off some cleavage, riding side saddle on her horse Jax and looking every bit the royal princess she was. For any that knew what she was like before this would come as a complete shock to them and might even cause them to faint as in the past Soro had been all about the colour black and wearing tight leather get ups that were more functional than pretty. These days it was all about looking pretty and refined for the still young princess of the XD. Soro had decided to seek out Jack after hearing about him from others, for while her father was a good fighter he was busy most times and well she was no longer able to stand toe to toe with her dragon brethren meaning she would have to train with someone more her own size. So it was that she pulled up out front of where she had heard this Jack person trained and dismounted her horse, tying the beast up to a post before going over and knocking on the door. When jack answered he would see the 5'6" tall woman with the short red hair staring back at him with her blue green eyes, looking more like she was here for an afternoon tea party than any kind of fight training.

Jack had taken to training folks in the training yard across the way from the Rose's Thorn, a little vacant lot in which a ring of posts created a fenced plot to move and train in. He glanced towards the door at the sudden knock, not expecting anyone this morning and rose to answer.
He answered the door already wearing gear to practice in, he'd spent the time before the sun fully rose to do his own training. Jack was an impressive specimen, well muscled and formed for obvious battle, but evidently he was human. "Good day..." He hesitated at her appearance and idly wiped a smudge of dirt from his cheek.
"Welcome to the Rose's Thorn, they don't open for a while... this is just training yard. You'll find the bar at the next door." he indicated just that and looked at her expecting her to leave or recognize she'd got the wrong place.

Soro smiled wide at Jack, Her elven nature visible in the slight point to her ears under that short red hair of hers that as tussled easily by the slight wind as it would pass. “hmmm… the Rose’s Thorn?” She asked tilting her head to one side and he eyes giving a slight shimmer of amusement as she realized what he meant.
The girl laugh “oh my, I’m not here for that old place, heavens no. I’m here to find a man named Jack and get in some training. I here he is quite the swordsman though you look like you could give the man a good run for his money” she gigged, having taking note of Jacks physique and deeming it suitable indeed for the job he did.
“My name is Soro and I’m the princess of the XD family.” she introduced herself with a well practiced and gracefully curtsy, rising and looking Jack in the eyes with her own; and though she smiled and and giggled on he could see a sadness in those blue green hues of hers. “And who might you be?” She asked, letting her pink skirt drop from her well manicured hands and folding them at her front so her wending ring did show. As if to silently tell the man she was already spoken for and to not get any ideas.

He returned her curtsey with a bow showing some manner of etiquette at court, but the bow was unpracticed, as if he had not used it in some time. If he noticed her wedding ring, he certainly didn’t show it, but he also didn’t show any interest in her form, her title, her personage, beyond a prospective student. He nodded at her explanation. “I apologize for jumping to conclusions. You do not present yourself as a prospective student… instead your present yourself someone out about town with royal airs. I can appreciate that.” He said the last part a bit cryptic.
“I’m the Mercer of which you refer, which I imagine you’ve guessed. I am taking students, and if you are serious about swordplay, it would be a privellige to teach a kingdom’s royalty. I can’t promise you special consideration, I can be a tough instructor- but I can promise you that as we train you will become much harder to kill, and will find the act in theory far easier.” He paused at that thought, “Killing in practice… “ he added, “ Is far more difficult than our training will illustrate.”
“The Rose’s Thorn is where some of my students ply their trade and test their skills. That host duels almost nightly. Perhaps you will do the same. Come, this is the training house, across the way, the yard. We’ll survey your taste, your interest and we will see if this shall work.” He said turning and going back into the building and leaving the door open for her to follow.

She smiled at the bow he gave even if it was unpracticed, the woman glad when he showed no further interest in her other than that of a student. If he had she might have had to worn the man that he would end a up a dragons meal for even trying. Another giggled escaped her lips “It’s quite all right. I am aware I do not look ready for such things as combat but then that is the point. It’s always more fun when you can catch your attacker unaware” she smirked with fae like mischief.
She would nod “Ah a pleasure than Jack o meet you at last. I have heard so many great things about you” she told him “Oh I do not expect special treatment and would be upset if you did so” the girl chuckled. A red brow perked at the notion of killing others, Soro having never killed anyone as far as she could remember a least but then her memories were not to be trusted.
“I’m not too worried about people killing me for I do have my magic. I come here to learn to protect myself should my magic ever fail.” She would explain as she followed him into the training grounds, closing the door behind her once she was in. “Well.. I was told I used to be quite good with a sword and throwing daggers.. but my mind is a bit foggy so I’m not to sure I still am” she admitted with a sigh.

The Xenothrin were reputed warriors all. He doubted she'd need much training to get into fighting shape, but with her mysterious talk of losing her memory, he decided that maybe this situation was more complicated than it appeared. " Throwing knives...I've used them to great effect, best employed against the unexpecting. The sword, well it is determined by what kind of blade.”
The small building, built to the side of the Rose’s Thorn had been storage at one point for the warehouse the Thorn was converted from. Within it stood racks and racks of practice weaponry and live steel, fine examples of dozens of iterations of the blade. Shorter curved blades, straight blades, single and double edged, piercing weapons with thick formation, handguards of elaborate and simple make.
“Do you recall your favored blade? Perhaps a saber, or a long sword? The finesse afforded by a rapier? The cutting power of a khopesh? Shorter blades? The weight? All the blades here should give you some memory of that- or we can start from scratch.”

She mused over what Jack said and nodded “indeed… though I’m not sure which blade would be best to use. Perhaps we should just try a few out until I figure out which one best suits me.” she suggested, looking over the various weapons on the wall. “though I guess I should change before w spar…. hmm.Do you have a full length mirror around and no I don’t recall which blade I used before. “I mostly just used my magic” she admitted.
“Perhaps it seems odd to you but even though I have the magic I do I’m still concerned what might happen if I found myself in a situation where I couldn’t use it” she said, looking to the man again.
