[ oh- well, she wasn't expecting something like that. not that it's a bad subject... but the truth is that she's been wondering about it, too.
ever since their death and return to Asgard, Hilda's been thinking about what happened. would the outcome have been better if they were able to defend themselves better? sure, their powers were useful, but they obviously weren't enough when it came down to saving their lives.
in a city this dangerous, learning something like that might be worth it. ]
I'd be willing to give it a whirl if I could. Why?
[ she doesn't even hesitate -- it's partially her habit of not thinking, but there can't be anything bad that comes out of something like this... right? training would be good for the both of them. ]
[Touya studies her for a moment, taking in her expression and any tension of her body. not that he can ask 'are you sure?' because he knows she's in the same situation as him. having been helpless, to do that to heroes who helped avoid the biggest change to ever come to their world, it's not an easy feat and with their powers.. well, healing wasn't something you can use to defend. and his growth was still too weak to do anything either.
hand to hand combat, using weapons, that's what he would have to focus on learning. so, he nods.]
Alright.
[he considers his last thought.] She said if we're thinking of learning further than what she teaches us, or to learn a way using weapons, to contact someone by the name of Arthur Pendragon. He works at the Citadel. That's what they focus on.
[ she nods. ] I'll find him if we need him... but let's focus on the basic stuff first.
[ it's odd for her to be okay with taking things one step at a time, as opposed to just rushing into them. but this is is a really serious matter - one with real consequences if they ignore any steps along the way. she's willing to work if that means protecting herself and those that she cares about. ]

How do you feel about self-defense training?

I talked with her again just now and she's willing to offer training to us. I wanted to ask to see if you were in.

[he's thinking the same she is. it's still a troubling matter for them both but.. they're getting there. they're helping each other along the way.]
I'll call you if anything changes.
