[Alcuin's grateful for one of the powers he inherited from his mother, for once- at least he doesn't have to show the whole camp how hard he's been crying. He looks as pretty as ever, but his aura of calm and happiness has been replaced by one of intense purpose.]

I need to learn to fight better than I do. Sword, dagger, bow and arrow, hand to hand- I need to improve my skills. Would anyone be willing to tutor me? I'll owe you a big favour.

[Mercutio watches with both a critical and an appreciative eye. Critical for form, and appreciative of the other's obvious grace. ]

Not bad, but best to do it a bunch more times.

[He watches Alcuin roll quite a bit more, making adjustments here and there, until finally he's statisfied.]

Y'think if I randomly shouted 'roll!' at you sometime tomorrow or something you could do that perfectly?

[unstinting]

As long as you don't do it while I'm holding something.

[He straightens up and stretches.]

I think I've got that move down.

Good, good. I'd say next step would be to learn to do it standing, but that'd just be boring right now. So how 'bout we add the attacking part?
