Two days ago Jacky Faber woke up to discover that she's finally turned into a real, honest-to-goodness male of the species. Not a bad-looking one, either! Rather than being a traumatizing experience, this seems like a prime opportunity to try some things

[If "Jack" is at the smithy, Sokka will be there, off in the back running some loud machinery as she works on an order.]

Ho there, smith! [Come here and serve your very male customer!]

[markofthebabe]

[He is indeed male and fairly cute. But Sokka knows a lot of cute guys... and is happy with her Suki.]

Hey there. Something I can do for you?

I'm looking for a sword. [There are many in view; maybe he should be more specific.] What do you have that would suit a young man with fencing training?

[There don't seem to be as many people in the barracks since the Battle Dome opened up. Giles, who has been trying to avoid the general population of Luceti for a few days now, is therefore trying to get in some training there. Jack will find him attacking a training dummy with a practice sword.]

[This is novel. Jack has never seen training equipment more sophisticated than a board with a target painted on it.]

Is that how people learn swordsmanship around here?

[consultmybooks]

Beginning swordsmanship, certainly. [Giles pauses in his striking when he realizes that someone is addressing him.] Moving targets are preferable.

I always found a live person a much better practice partner. [He draws his new sword and inspects it, also subtly showing it off. Ain't she beautiful?]
