action - training
[Ireena showed a polite smile and offered forward the cup.] I brought you something to eat. I know you'll likely have your own supplies but I made this myself. [Hopefully that might assuage any worries about it having been tampered with.] Might I sit with you? I was hoping I could ask you something.

Setting camp had not been a popular option with Ezmerelda.
She had forgotten the little frustrations of traveling with fresh-faced adventurers and newly minted mercenaries. Where she had been ready and willing to carry on, they faltered and whined. They were still accustomed to their softer lands, places where campfires kept away shyer animals than the Svalich woods' dire wolves and vampire spawn. They didn't yet realize that slowing down would only provide him a window to do worse, and from their conversation on the matter, they also didn't care.
She hates the tactical disadvantage that comes from being surrounded on all sides by dark trees and mists, but she hates even more the petulance and whining. Ezmerelda relents, though she draws her wagon a good few paces back from the group. She sets her own campfire and lets them to their inanities.
It's the incarnate who comes to her. Ezmerelda has had little interaction - by design, in part, for she's not decided as to what she should make of her and how she ought to treat her. She finds Ezmerelda at her own fire, seated back against the back steps of her wagon as her hen pecks at the dirt at her feet. She's abandoned her coat inside and pulled loose the collar of her gaping shirt to allow the night air to cool her scarred skin - the only relief the rest could have provided her. Ezmerelda studies her approach, puffing fragrant, dark smoke from the thick pipe between her teeth.
She takes it from between her teeth, letting the smoke jet from her nostrils, and she gestures with it blandly toward her fire. ]
You might.
[ For as standoffish as she might be, the food finds grudging welcome. The respite from salted and cured trail-meat, as brief as it might be, comes as a relief. ]

[The quiet absurdity of keeping to mild manners in her current situation wasn't lost on Ireena. But it felt right to keep true to the elements of herself that belonged entirely to her. The revelation that her soul didn't belong to her had been deeply unsettling. Ireena knew that Kolyan had taught her how to conduct herself and how to treat all with the respect they were deserved. There was nothing that could be done to take that from her.
Ireena set down her fresh traveling cloak so that she would have somewhere to sit and sat with her legs curled under her, nervously brushing down her skirt and setting the food between them.
As much as the party had bitten the monster hunter's hand off at the opportunity of securing her help, Ireena couldn't help but find her an intimidating presence. It was strange to think of anyone daring to travel the roads by themselves; but a lone woman? Unthinkable.
But then, Miss D'Avenir was no slouch when it came to battle. Ireena tore her eyes away from the fire and nodded towards the food.] Please, help yourself. It is quite filling.
I, ah...it can't have escaped your notice that I have very minimal skill with a sword. [It was down heartening that she could do so little to help and Ireena felt embarrassed to have others having to leap in to defend her.] My brother tried to teach me as it became apparent I would need to defend myself but we didn't have much time to prepare.
I wonder you might be agreeable, if you were to train or practice your skills, if you would allow me to watch?

But, of course, the exchange is plain enough; food for a favour. Fill her stomach with something nice to soften her up. She can smell the ask coming even as she nods, curt, and takes a shallow dish of warm soup for herself, though she knows not what will be asked of her as she does. She sets her pipe carefully aside and samples some to brace herself, as Ireena digs toward what she wishes to say.
And at first, Ezmerelda presumes it's instruction she's after - until she mentions watching. She can't fully help the sly, amused curve of her lips at that, imagining the pair of them learning the art of battle through example. ]
This is how your brother taught you? He allows you to watch him hit trees with sticks?
[ Leave it to giorgio nobility to think this is what passes for an education. ]

[The confession was whispered. Ireena glanced at Ezemerelda and then looked intently into the fire, trying to supress her (only mildly hysterical) giggle at the incredulity of the scene as she recalled it. Ismark and she stood in the front parlor of the Burgomaster's manor, sleeves rolled up as they examined a rapier stuck into a cloth female form now leaking feathers and sawdust.
But it wasn't funny really. She was woefully underprepared, which was the sobering reality that hit Ireena and knocked all mirth from her face.
She was here in the wilderness of Barovia and Ismark was hours and hours away back in the Village trying to hold things down with the villagers and hide the fact she had run away. What she would give to be back in their parlour watching one of Ismark's silly lessons again.]
But Ismark believed it would seem improper if someone spotted me with a weapon. That it might put Father in danger. That the devil might believe Father was sowing sedition if word got back of the Burgomaster's children arming themselves.
no subject
[ look its a little funny tbh. You can't pass through the Domains without finding something to chuckle about when things get grim.
And finding humour in truths does not detract from their nature - that is, make her concerns any less grounded. The truth of it was that she was underprepared, likely in just about every way she could be. Uniquely vulnerable to manipulation, assault, and attack of all kinds beyond physical. Vulnerable to him in ways that would sneak up on her, chinks in her ramshackle armor she would not recognize until it was too late. Ireena, Ezmerelda would wager, is likely more unprepared than she even now realizes.
So, for all that she jokes and jabs, this is a good start to rectifying that.
Though whether she would like Ezmerelda's instruction - that would remain to be seen. She hadn't learned through example, and she wasn't about to teach through it. Her guidance would not be so fond and soft as stabbing down-stuffed dressforms, and where her noble pedigree might earn her some slack from the boys in her village, Ezmerelda would brook no such favouritism. No Vistana answers to Barovian nobility - none but the ones owned by Castle Ravenloft.
She holds the shallow dish of steaming food in her hand, which lilts it from side to side, trying to expose more of it to the chill mist in order to cool it. As she waits, Ireena attempts to excuse her brother. Ezmerelda can feel her mouth pull in disapproval. ]
But it was fine for him to arm himself and risk appearing as though he planned to sow sedition. [ Dress it up in all the pragmatism you'd like, the double standard is there. Ezmerelda lifts the dish to her lips, allows the thick stock to warm her from beneath her skin, then asks presently as she brings it down; ] Did he at least teach you how to throw a good punch?
[ Probably not. ]
no subject
Ismark was to be my Father's successor. His carrying arms could be explained away especially given how close the wolves had been coming to the village. [Her tone held the sound of another's as this was a repetition of the excuse Ismark had given many a time over. Sometimes apologetically, often deploringly for her to understand and relent her stubbornness on the issue. Ireena just felt bitter about it. Yet another insrance of things being decided for her and out of her control.
Ireena raised her hands by the firelight to display how Ismark had shown her to form a fist. Thumb outside the fingers, wrists unlocked and arms raised high enough to defend herself. It was stiff and barely practiced but the intention was there.] He said, if ever I were to need to fight like this, I should throw my full weight into it and then run as fast as I was able to. He was of the opinion that I would be physically unmatched with most who wanted to hurt me and running would be wiser.
I am fast on my feet. But there is no hope of me outruning a wolf or vampire spawn. [Ireena lowered her hands again and turned her attention back to the fore once more. Looking at the flames dance was soothing to her frayed nerves.] I don't expect to become a masterful swordsman like yourself. But I would like to be able to defend myself. To hold my own weight and feel I'm not putting as great a burden on others. [Ireena couldn't help but glance towards the other group of assembled outsiders. They were putting their lives on the line for her, to help her to a place of safety. The Devil was dangerous. They had no real idea of how dangerous he was. How coul they? There was nowhere in Barovia safe from him.]
