[ a dark-haired young woman in glasses and dark local fashion sits in front of the camera. she can't be older than 21, surely. anyway, byleth's been here for over a month and she's only posting to the network now. ]

I'm Byleth Eisner. I've met some of you already. I suppose you would call this an... interest check? [ she takes off her glasses, hanging them from the neckline of her shirt. ] Most of my recent work before coming here was in commanding my Emperor's army, but I'm an experienced teacher as well. Armed and unarmed combat, archery, strategy and tactics, riding, magic... rhetoric and composition. [ was that last one a joke? it's impossible to tell. her face gives no hints one way or another. ]

The Coven trains witches in magic, but that only does so much good. I'd like to work towards establishing a school where the Mirrorbound without martial skills can learn them. As it is, the Wilde is too dangerous for too many of us, and ad-hoc lessons aren't enough. [ she waves a hand. ] This is all... hypothetical, right now. But if this sounds something you'd like to either help with or learn from, please, let me know. In the meantime, I'm open to teaching one-on-one.

[ she seems to consider something, briefly, before: ]

... Also, firearms are new to me. I'm familiar with powder explosives, and I've seen cannons, but if anyone might help me to understand the use and maintenance of guns, I would appreciate it.

[ byleth pauses again. ]

That's all. [ and off it goes. nailed it? ]

[ ooc: open to fourth wall people! ]

[Oh, this might be interesting. He's... not sure how well he'd do when he has stage fright, but maybe teaching won't be so bad.]

Ah... I have no experience with firearms myself, but... I could teach archery.

[K'rihnn hesitates for a moment before adding:]

I also have experience with the axe, fencing, astronomy, and astrology. Though... I doubt astrology on this star has any practical use, unlike on mine. Um... I... also have culinary experience... both for in the kitchen and when camping?

[hegemonwings]

Culinary skill is always a bonus. Though I'm not sure how it might apply. [ she genuinely seems to turn that over in her head, and it comes out with a touch of warmth. and she's never given much thought to what the astrologers say. the whole concept of things being written in the stars is nonsense, to her. the astronomers... there's something there, perhaps. ]

A specialist archer would be ideal. I'm fair with a bow, but my talents mostly lie elsewhere.

[krihnnges]

Hm... I confess that I would not know, given my lack of experience in organizing various different classes. I thought it best to speak on any options I might have.

[He's pretty sure options are good to have. If nothing else, maybe it'll give her more ideas.

Though it's voice, K'rihnn's ears do perk up slightly when Byleth mentions an archer being ideal.]

Archery is a strong suit of mine. 'Twas a necessary skill in my tribe, and I've honed such skill since leaving it. Of course, if you have other archers interested in teaching, perhaps we could work on a schedule of sorts?

[hegemonwings]

[ she nods at that. really, the more people they have on hand who can cook, the better, especially if they would be making the occasional ventures out into the wilde as part of this. more axe and sword users can't hurt, either. ]

Scheduling would likely be the best approach. Different classes at different times for different skill levels. Nothing so formal as an academy, exactly, but... [ she shrugs. ] Each meeting once or twice each week, perhaps.
