Waylon's Crossing Forum

Heh, a confrontation between Eliza and Alber would be interesting. Also, if Helena were to witness it, even from afar, it could prove educational to her and also provide a good excuse for Helena and Eliza to have a little "girl talk". :P

Were you suggesting that in the Borderlands Alber will have a harder time restricting his hormone emissions and Helena and Eliza will have a harder time ignoring them? If that's the case... poor Helena, lol.

As for the fencing and gentle arts... I refer specifically to an artistic, ornamental style of sword play. It is not intended for offense OR defense, but rather is about fitness, artistry, and perhaps a little about showing off the female form. (If women are normally bounded by constrictive clothing and covered in cloth from neck to toe, then a noblewoman in fencing gear would be nearly... well, I suppose the equivalent of an 1800s or early 1900s woman wearing a bathing suit. It's a socially-acceptable way for a woman to wear form fitting clothing, engage in unrestricted movement, participate--even if symbolically---in an activity which is normally reserved for men, etc.)
