To those I spoke with about further training:
I will be at the Barracks this Wednesday evening. You may meet me there so that I can asses your skills.
If there are others without knowledge of self-defense, I am still capable of taking on more students. I would suggest you consider the opportunity carefully. You may not always have the luxury of another to fight on your behalf.
[Filtered to his Edward, 40% unhackable]
Edward, I wish to speak with you. My room, if you would.
[OOC Notes of Doom: If there is interest, I will toss up a post or a log on Wednesday for the class. Otherwise, if you could just leave me a note or pm me or ping me on aim or something, so I can get an idea of your character's general skill and attitude about the whole thing and how Sig will react to them.
Also, I know I still have tags on the last post. Gettin' to 'em now. Sorry about that.
...Oh. And the start of Sig's relationship post is here, if you wanna see that.]

I'm glad to see that you've grown.
I... pledged to protect Capell in your place. [Eventually.] He and I are friends now.
I'm glad to hear it. I hoped you might learn to get along.
That was sharper than Sigmund intended it to be. He takes a breath and looks at the floor before continuing, more softly this time.]
I intentionally withheld knowledge that others had a right to, because I was afraid of the consequences. I am at fault, whether you will admit it or not.
He... he knows Sigmund isn't perfect. It's extremely difficult to admit to himself, and it was something that had taken months to even acknowledge in the past. But he's still not sure he can say it aloud.
Especially not to Sigmund himself.]
He's been trying to avoid it, but just this once he stands and rests his hand briefly on Edward's shoulder. It's more of a reassuring tap than anything.]
That was all.
...But...
...No, he can't dwell on the past anymore. He doesn't want to become that bitter, angry person he used to be. So he stood, lifting his head, and crossed an arm over his chest in salute.]
I... thank you for your honesty, my lord.
I want you to keep this safe for me, Edward.
It is... reassurance. Put it someplace safe.
It must belong to someone else. I do not wish to find myself with neither my memories nor a record of them.
Should something happen, you may read it.
[Because if something should happen here, that might be the end of him. The Tales of Sigmund probably aren't anywhere near the riveting read The Tales of Volsung were - it was only two years, but he feels like half of what he wrote about was the Force having either no fol or no food - but Edward should have something, at least.]
