Marc, for some reason, wasn't all too surprised that Scar said she favored a sword. It just seemed like the right answer when she said it. He'd often helped new trainees pick their first weapon, and he was pretty sure he would have pushed her towards the sword. It just... fit.

Personally, Marc had started with a regular spear. Then, as he grew older, he decided to try throwing it as a weapon. That was when he became rather attached to the javelin, and quite skilled with it as well. He nodded in response to Scar before he spoke again. It was getting cold and he didn't have a very sufficient coat on.

"It's getting cold out here," he said. "Though, yeah, I could see you using a sword. It seems like your type of weapon."

Most students progress to other weapons after they take up the sword. It was the easiest for a new Career. Throw a wooden sword at them and let them spar. Bruises dotting the small bodies until they all learned to defend themselves from any attack. At that point, an exodus from the ways of swordsmanship took place. There were far too many weapons and the Gamemakers were far too clever to ever just have a few weapons in any arena. Spears, javelins, scythes, throwing knives....you name it and the Gamemakers could provide it. Or they couldn't.

Marc's words acknowledging the weather made Scarlet nod and pull her coat collar higher up on her neck. Her father would kill her for saying this, but the words left her lips, consequences be damned.

"Do you ever want to train together? Totally no pressure, but I would love to expand my skills. Change it up a bit. My father would kill me for asking, but any training is good training in his eyes."

As Marc and Scar spoke, Scar pulled her coat collar up more, as it was getting rather chilly. Marc put his hood up, but still looked at Scar while they were talking so that he wouldn't come off as rude. The question that she proceeded to ask him, though, took him slightly off-guard. She asked Marc if they could train together sometime. Marc paused for a moment before nodding and then proceeding to answer her question.

"Sure, that sounds good to me. We could meet up tomorrow morning around nine o'clock, if you'd like." Marc was hoping that she'd agree to the time that he'd suggested.
