[huh. well, Anna won't exactly turn down the offer. maybe it'll be nice, getting practice in with somebody she knows better than the others who have offered. less awkward than showing up to some fight club or some weird artisan's house where everyone else there is already way more skilled than she is.]

[she shrugs.]

Yeah, sure. Sounds good to me. Long as you don't splinter anything we spar with. [sincere offers to help make her uncomfortable, of course, and she's just trying to break it up with a bad joke.]

I'm probably going to stay out here for a while more. I really do need a break from the city. But I'm glad to do whatever I can. [she does mean that, even if it's hard to make eye contact when she says it. more emotional sincerity problems all of a sudden.] Thanks for... you know. Still being part of all this.
