De Camino et Virtus Bellorum

The Scot XO grunted. "Aye, I suppose tha's fair enough. He does need to learn t'watch his tongue a bit more, though. The men'll have a go at him soon enough if he keeps bein' a pain."

He glanced at the door, then lowered his voice. "So, were ye plannin' on actually doin' anything with her or what?"

Merlin got serous "I had planned on her talking with her sister. Then I hoped we could find someplace where we could train"

"Well, seems the first bit's not gonna happen anytime soon." Stan looked thoughtful. "Ehh. I may be able to help with that last, dependin' on how big of an area ye were thinkin' and how good ye are at containin' her ice."

"If you really want to know. I don't think I can contain the full scope of her power. In terms of raw power she is the strongest magical user I have ever seen. Stronger then me by far"

Stan went a shade or two paler. "Okay, forget I said anythin' about gettin' you a place to train. I was goin' ta suggest the cargo hold, but..."

"It may suffice for a start but it won't last forever"

"A'right then, I'll start tellin' the men not to head down there. We're not usin' it anyway."

Later, Merlin, Herc and Stan were gathered in the (now-emptied) cargo hold.

"Ok Stan, how goes the gremlin and Elsa?"

"Haven't seen the gremlin for about an hour...which worries me. Idunno about Elsa, ye'd have to ask Merlin."

"Stitch above you." Stitch's voice calls down to the group.

"Hello Stitch" Merlins says "Elsa is still in her room. I better go talk to her" Merlin says before walking towards Elsa's room

"And no you aren 't going as well gremlin." Herc says, casting a warning glance at stitch

Stitch shook his head as he chuckled before turning towards Herc.

"Stitch stay, stay silent and unnoticed by Cold Girl. No harm in any way. Unless you want trouble? Risk destroying training area." Stitch said as he pulled out two of his guns, one he activates while he starts cleaning the other.

Merlin gets to Elsa's room and knocks on the door "Elsa, may I come in?"

As Stitch cleaned his gun while sitting on the ceiling he hummed a catchy tone.

"You give up bothering Stitch?" Stitch asked the group without taking his attention away from his gun but his ears were angled in the group's direction. He continued both cleaning and humming the tune.

"Quiet up there!" Stan snapped. The last thing they needed was Stitch drawing attention to himself.

"You may," Elsa said. As Merlin walked in, he saw that a good portion of the walls of the room had been bedecked in shelves of ice. The shelves were furthermore filled with various ice sculptures and trinkets, averaging about the size of a large book.

Merlin looks at all of the sculptures "You have great talent"

Elsa smiled, causing her face to practically light up. "Thank you." Unfortunately the moment was fleeting, and she resumed her default worried/neutral expression. "What is it that you wanted?"

"I think we should start your training. The people here have made a nice place for us to start"

Elsa's expression flickered, to be replaced by one of resolve. If anyone could keep her powers under control, it was Merlin - and under those circumstances, she might be able to learn to control them herself. "Where are we heading?"

Stitch looked at Stan with a smirk as he abliges with the request for silence. After Stitch finished with the first gun he switched to another, keeping one armed while he works.

"They have set up the cargo hold for us" Merlin says

Stitch finished with cleaning his weapons before focusing on the door, his ears twitching every now and then.

"Let's get started, then."

Still waiting for Elsa and Merlin to show up, Stan stood well off to one side and occasionally cast a glance up at the gremlin. He really did not trust the little blue thing, especially not to remain hidden.

Merlin brought elsa to the Cargo hold
