Vannessa watched and Madison twisted around, quiye obviously trying to see what was going on in the town square,
"Looks like they've finished with Latin and they're moving on to swordfighting. I better join in, even though I'm not what you would call a front-line demigod. In fact, I've never picked up a sword before. Mom has me working on my healing magic. Still think I should at least be able to defend myself, though. Maybe we could work together?"

Vanessa smiled slightly, "That sounds good, I've never picked up a sword though," she says sheepishly, looking toward the ground, "My dad once muttered something about a scythe probably being my best weapon, very Grim Reaper, huh?' She says, mumbling slightly. "I haven't really done anything the last few weeks except exist and be avoided or ignored at least, might as well do something with myself."
