Imenry turned slightly at the touch of the woman's hand against her arm, staring down at her almost questioningly. She was silent when the other spoke, wondering at this sudden change of behavior. It was almost baffling. Perhaps whatever jealousy she held over Brennan's friendship with Imenry was less important than learning how to defend herself. Whatever the case, Imenry was still wary of her.
"Yes, that is my name." She raised a brow down at Elsa and then turned to continue on towards the clearing in the woods a bit off the main road. "I can teach you some basics, but as you can see I use a much larger weapon than you're going to be able to wield," in fact she doubted a woman like Elsa could even pick up the claymore. "Do you have a blade of your own?" If not, Imenry did carry some daggers on her person that she could supply for the time being.
"You are going to want to rely primarily on your magic in battle, and stay to the back so that the trained fighters can protect you, but if an attacker does get close enough to hurt you I'll teach you a few ways to disable them." With any luck, Elsa would never need to use the things that Imenry would teach her, but it never hurt to be prepared, she supposed.
"Well, Elsa Zerbino Vargas," why on Thedas did the woman have three name names anyway? "Where is it you're from?" Maybe if she could get more information out of the woman it would help in training her. And on the other hand she wanted to know why was it the woman claimed to know Brennan and what her deal was.
