[Since Karla had gotten her Wo Dao back from being duplicated, she's kept the spare sword she had picked up during the procedure. It hasn't seen much use, as Karla had only kept it at her side in case she did lose her primary sword. But recently she's decided, if she's going to carry a second sword, she might as well try to incorporate the use of it into her own style.]
[So she'll be training at the barracks, twirling and swinging her Wo Dao in the air as if in a choreographed dance. Occasionally, in mid-attack, she'll pause and draw her second katana and swing it in a different angle. She straightens herself and sheaths the katana before returning to her Wo Dao practice.]

One thing I've come to learn about Luceti is that people live very different lifestyles here. They have different cultures and different customs, and it's interesting to learn about them all.
[The droppings and the golden ass incident spring to mind, but. Well. She'll pursue more knowledge about those things on her own.Someone needs to teach this girl about mischief.]
It particularly pleases me that women can do so much...more. Where I grew up, women were not allowed to even touch a weapon. Women were only told to do what men say. They were bound to typical housework, cooking, cleaning, and the like. But I know women are capable of more than that.
But here, there's a group of warriors that are strictly women. The..."Kyoshi Warriors", I believe they were called? Personally, I have found a greater challenging in sparring with another woman. They use speed as their primary weapon. Speed is far more difficult to overcome than brute strength. What women lack in brute strength, they make up for with their speed.
I don't particularly enjoy battle myself, but I'm just glad to see that women are more than just housewives for men here.

What you said about their speed is true though. Any man who doesn't think women should fight needs to go toe-toe with my friend Natasha. She'd keep them on their toes.

[Sounds like another woman with a reputation for strength. First Tifa, and now Natasha. Deep down, Karla can't help but wonder how strong they are, and how her own skill would fare against theirs.]
Well, I certainly can't blame the men for underestimating women. Men are naturally stronger, after all, but women have their own skills as well.
