I've written up some training routines specifically geared towards stealth and retrieval. I would like to grab some volunteers. There are higher levels of difficulty.
The training room is also open for other trainers to provide firearms and combat training, and also basic self-defense is available of course. Let me know what you'd be interested in.
On a more personal note, for those people that know me, or are acquainted with me, and have very good intentions? Try not to fix me up for a little while. I know it seems like a fun hobby, but I'm not really feelin' it.

I'm still willing to discretely train you, if you are. You're talented and capable, and I think not exploring that would be a loss.
There's no shame in keeping surprises up your sleeve for a rainy day.

the problem is also this: he's coming around to the idea that he can keep his head down and out of trouble all he wants here, but that trouble? it's still going to find him. there's just not enough of a population, they're already singled out for not being from this universe--
it's complicated. )
Any chance you give lessons on how to be as much of an innocent bystander as possible instead? ( he tries, weakly, before switching to something more serious. ) I'll think about it. That's not a yes, alright? I just-- we'll see if I need something to make up for the lack of my twice yearly review sessions with ImpSec.

Otherwise? Just let me know.

Pretty sure walking away from a serious problem is better than running. But it would just be more of the stuff we did on planet, right?
( he'd found that to be fairly okay, and they didn't teach stealth in the barrayaran military. not to the extent he thinks kaz is offering. )

[He does think it would be a waste to see Ivan go untrained. No A++ level officer, probably not. But he could hold his own. He could manage some incredible things. That need for mediocrity, limiting himself, maybe that's just the sort of fighter he likes. He won't go out into the world and become a threat, be a tyrant.]
[Miller hasn't been picky about the people he's trained, no. He spent his youth poor, and if people give him money he will teach them to fight regardless of their cause. He used to be more noble. In recent years, selling himself as easily as his mother did her youth.]
[Someone like Ivan? Wouldn't turn out a monster. He's sure of that. And every time he hears him talk like, he wishes all the more he could give him a boost. He can't force that idealism on someone though, that desire for personal growth. Ivan wants to be a particular type of man, and he can't blame him for that. Not at all.]
Yes, it would be a lot like that. Simple maneuvers that can help you out more than you would expect.

( what sort of problems are ten story problems and how does ivan avoid them? )
I'll think about it and let you know in a few days how it shakes out. ( alys vorpatril didn't raise a son who only responds when things are positive, even though in ivan's estimation, that's easier. ) Thanks, Kaz.
