To say Thor was impressed with the response to this idea was an understatement. So many people seemed to believe this was helpful, or even necessary, that it nearly floored him. Thor was still learning to trust himself again, so that doubt had lingered in his mind as he threw the idea out into the world. While the spark for this brain child had been Ciri's, admittedly, Thor believed this could help and allow people to organize better. When he'd gotten so many responses, and from a couple of people who had no experience but wanted to better themselves, Thor started drawing up ideas. Nothing had stuck and he ultimately decided to let people pair off how they wanted. Learning his way wouldn't necessarily be the best for everyone, so he'd decided that, if they were willing, maybe a few teachers would be better for the ones who weren't experienced. Pairing off Sabrina and Diana came to mind, given their similar body types and Sabrina's lack of experience. The Amazon was patient and kind, and Thor felt she would be a good teacher. Again, though, flexibility was the name of the game here. He'd gotten up early Monday morning and set up the gym to suit their needs, including some mats and supplies. There was room enough for a dozen or so people, more than who'd responded to the request on the network, in case anyone wanted to bring a friend. He'd dressed for function today, with sweatpants and a tank top, and when things were ready, he turned toward the door to see who'd arrived. Once everything was set, Thor addressed the whole room. Many of them were veterans, seasoned faces he knew well. Some, he was meeting for the first time. All the better, if they were new people who wanted to learn. Thor was never going to discourage someone from getting better, especially when it could literally mean life or death. He was happy with the turnout, in any case, and called the room to attention with a clap of his hands. "Right, well, it looks like everyone's here. Gather around, friends. Welcome, welcome. Thank you all for coming. I know we're all... seemingly stuck here. But that doesn't mean we have to get lazy, or complacent, and it certainly doesn't mean we shouldn't be prepared." "Who has something specific they'd like to improve on?" |
