2nd sweet tooth [audio/action for antoinette]
Hi, everybody! Hope you're staying safe - but I wanted to make an announcement before I forgot!
So! Everyone knows by now that the Navy is gonna be trying to hurt us - unless you haven't been paying much attention. And I heard that there are a lot of people who don't really know how to fight, or even defend themselves! I don't wanna hear about anyone getting hurt when they could have avoided it - so as a special treat - I'm offering some self-defense courses!
[...Really? The child is offering self-defense training? He's joking right?]
Because there's not really a good chance to get more than a few lessons in, I'm not gonna be trying to teach you how to use weapons - disarmament is the best place to start for crash courses, kay~?
I'll be on the Antoinette at Empieza if you want to have one!
[There's a short pause before a quiet:]
Uh...Kyo-chan should I ask for money?
[Annnnd another short pause, muffled speaking, and then Honey speaking up as usual:]
Five doubloons per hour!
If you have any questions don't hesitate to ask! Bye-bye~!
[Action]
[Hika-chan had expressed an interest in wanting to learn how to protect himself - for him the lessons were free because any money Honey got for the lessons would go to the crew in the first place. Honey had greatly encouraged sweets as payment though~
At any rate, Honey was back into his task-master role of the karate club president.]
First and foremost: you need to learn how to prevent your opponent from grabbing you! If you give them the chance to get a hold on you, odds are - with your lack of experience - you're not gonna get out of it without hurting yourself. So I want you to stand like this, kay?
[Honey shifted his left foot behind him and stood in profile to Hikaru and held one hand closed to his chest with the other closed in a fist against his waist. He was basically squatting at this point, it looked pretty easy though.]

Action
He mimics Honey's stance, a lifetime of experience in copying movements helping him get at least that part right almost immediately. He's not looking forward to the part where he starts being embarrassingly bad, but maybe it'll go better than he expects!
There's no smart-ass comment from him at this point; just a serious look on his face and a nod. He really is determined in this.]
action:
As always, he was writing. Writing and sketching. Notes and reminders of everything he was seeing and hearing with these lessons. He'd have to practice eventually, but, first...
Learn by observation.]
