Athena was smiling, watching the way Nike moved. "I feel most comfortable with a javelin, but I wish to learn more of other weapons as well." She showed the sword in her hand but her fingers trailed over the pole of the javelin. She held the sword properly enough though, not standing there looking a bit awkward as any other female of the court might. Shoulders back but ready to be poised in position if necessary.
"But however you wish to teach me, I shall learn. Here I am your pupil," she added, with the smile still on her face.
