Seeing the dorin approach Joe excused himself from the other sailor and turned to wave to Orkashak. Flashing a friendly smile he stepped down off the boat and made his way over to meet the recently arrived dorin. If Orkashak was large for a dorin, then it was certain that Joe was large for a human. Being around 6 foot 5 inches he stood taller then most other humans. He was also very well built, possessing the strength necessary to one who had been out a seas dropping anchors and pulling rope all his life. His demeanor was friendly, but he was a sailor which as many knew, had a certain affinity for crude words. Coming within conversation distance with the Dorin he patted Orka on the arm. "Hey my furry friend! How's Imperia treating ya?" his baritone voice rang out, used to crying over the sea's fury and waves.

Joe had a cutlass on him, but as Orka probably knew the sailor also owned a claymore himself. Smaller then the titan sword that Orkashak carried, Joe's claymore was more of the military variety used to be both short enough to be maneuverable but long enough to outreach any opponent. Joe didn't carry that on him however, as the claymore would be too large a hassle to do his usual duties aboard the ship. Upon the explanation of what the Dorin wanted, Joe let loose a hardy, yet friendly laugh. "Ah, want to learn about the way of the long blade huh? Well, I suppose I got time to teach you a few things." Joe turned around and started to head back to the boat. "Just a moment, let me get mine". When he came back he was carrying his old Legion issued claymore.

Putting the blade through a few moves as he warmed up and stretched he asked the Dorin a few questions. "Well, first of all I need some answers Orka. Why do you want to learn the use of the claymore? What do you expect to learn from this little training sessions? Have you wielded blades before?" Joe went through a few stretches and warm ups as the Dorin answered. Depending on what Orkashak wanted to learn and more importantly why he wanted to learn would decide how Joe would teach him. Everyone learned for different reasons and had different priories of course.

(ooc: I need a more specific timestamp. At least the day, in addition to the month and era. Thanks!)
