[ Mandorallen is dressed in plainclothes, but he's holding his broadsword in view of the camera, stepped back a bit so that most of his body is in frame. ]
The recent calamity that hath befallen this place was a mortally dangerous one, as we all are keenly aware. And methinks it will not be the last -- it doth go without saying that there is something decidedly strange about this place, and none of us could pretend to understand its ways or those of the strange people who reside here. But one thing hath become clear: this place, friendly and idyllic though it may often be, can pose great danger to us. And not all unfortunate souls here are well-equipped to defend themselves.
So, fellow foreigners, I have a proposition for thee. I am well skilled in the arts of war; any man or woman who doth wish to receive instruction so that they may better defend themselves, and live to serve or fight another day, should do so as to contact me. I can offer lessons in swordplay and, though it is not my forté, hand-to-hand fighting. These lessons will come free of charge to those who might seek to learn, for I am loathe to rob thee of money for something so important.

I still find it kinda weird they don't learn as kids on the surface. They don't even teach hand-to-hand.

He looks truly baffled, maybe even a little appalled at this information, though. ]
I can hardly believe it! How are they expected to defend themselves, then?

[Slang. Not everyone speaks it, Nita. She looks pensive.]
It's actually pretty peaceful, at least where I live. They don't seem to realize it because they look for all the worst news, but, I mean, dueling is illegal. No one goes around ready to fight--well, some people will swing a fist or whatever, but they don't know what they're doing, and they can get arrested for doing it.

Art thou certain? Dost thou mean to say that a perfectly civilized duel between two honorable men is punishable by arrest? What kind of barbarism is this?
