Characters: Dinah Lance and OPEN
Date: July, all after Clueventure
Location: Wood Sector, and wherever you need her.
Situation: There are ideas and commitments that Dinah started before being distracted by detective work. Now she intends to follow up on them.
Warnings/Rating: Blood, wounds in the Arthur thread.
I started with prose, but will switch to action if you'd like.

General Starter: She found it in the wood sector, a courtyard formed by four trees growing from each corner, growing and intertwining together above, walled by hedges that have been growing out since the last master left. As soon as she had a spare morning and the presence of mind to do so, it is here Dinah returns.

She keeps the name and cleans first the sign painted so neatly in Chinese: “The Jade School of Kung Fu, overseen by Grand Master Shifu.” She doesn't know what happened to the Grand Master, but a dojo cannot be left unused, and she plans to honor this Master she never met by returning his space to the use it was intended.

She sent messages to the people she knew were interested in training with her, to let them know where they could be found, then she set about trimming the hedges, sweeping the building and the courtyard, and transforming it into a usable dojo again.

"No, not right now."

Amused at the mistake, Dinah grins.

"I'm just checking. There's a difference between taking them from some random lady in Keeliai and signing up for... well, me."

[urbanmagic]

"I'm guessing in either deal, I'm getting my butt kicked. I'd prefer to do it with a familiar face." Well, familiar enough for her, given at least she knows who this hero is. She trusts the League enough, in the same way citizens would about how good they are, so that's a plus.

"How much for a lesson, either way?"

[raptorcanaria]

"The previous owner was going for two juulan a session, or five a week if you come daily."

Dinah jerks her head back to where the sign is still not really clean enough to read. "I was thinking of keeping the same rate, at least to start with."

[urbanmagic]

"I think my joints will protest a daily session, so I may just start out with an every other day thing, if that's okay with you?"

Two juulan a day was manageable, as far as she's concerned. She does odd jobs for a living, after all, just a matter of fixing her schedule to match it and have time to practice magic.

And this might be a place to fade them?

"Works for me," Dinah says cheerfully, beckoning Traci to her as she backed up towards the office. "Let's go get you on the calendar."

Sounds good to me

[urbanmagic]

Traci has no complaints there and quickly follows, just glad she has found a suitable trainer now.
