Knife tricks are not handy anywhere but in a tavern.

Derrica knew this even before her discussion with Vanadi, before they stepped into the ring in the training yard. The pirates she sailed with taught her where to aim for with a knife, where was best to drive a blade in to incapacitate a man long enough to get clear when she couldn't bring lightening down on top of him. The holds of ships aren't made for big, showy magic like that.

Vanadi has a few inches on her. She's left her stave laid carefully across a bench at the edge of the training yard, easily seen out of the corner of her eye, and suppresses the nervous urge to flip the dagger through her fingers.

"Where did you begin, when you were learning?" she asks, prompting a little as she watches him square up alongside her.
