[Enter: cute blonde woman on your feed. She has an vibrant energy about her.]

Helloooo! [She gives the camera a short wave. Her Russian accent shines through in her words clearly.] Some of you may already know me, but for those who don’t: I am Yelena. And given the circumstances of these “missions” [Yes, she did just make air quotes with her fingers as she said that word.] I would like to offer to anyone who wants it either—

[She ticks options off on her fingers as she goes—] A sparring partner, for people who already know how to fight OR

Lessons for those of you who either [She lifts her hands and teeters them like a see-saw.] don’t know how, could use improvement or need to learn basic self defense.

[Her hands drop back to rest in her lap.] Anyway— I wasn’t sure if something like this has already been started sooo… let me know your thoughts, I guess?!

[Though technically a good age bracket for it, Yelena did not grow up with social media as a part of her everyday so her ending comes a little awkward and abrupt with another quick wave and an even quicker— ] Bye!

Perfect! Glad you haven't forgotten. Though I'd understand if you had, since...a lot's happened since we talked.

[ They'd met at the beginning of the mission into the labyrinth, after all. Even that aside, there've been more than a few developments following. ]

Getting a good turnout so far?

[ Aerith brights, offering a grin at Yelena's words. ]

My, my! [ Consider the compliment filed away. ] Well, happy to hear it. And you can count on me to help spread the word, okay? I've got a feeling you'll be a great teacher.

Definitely. But there are a lot of ways to be prepared! I agree that people should know how to stay safe, but make sure you're not overdoing it. Rest is key to making sure you're good to go, and I know for a fact not everyone's getting enough of that.

[ Not accusing Yelena specifically, but it's good advice for general practice. ]
