"I've been around the duelling block a bit." Keavy replied as she walked
towards Hanna. "I've pretty much grown up around Gears. My Dad used to say
that I could pilot a gear before I could walk." The young woman laughed
lightly as she took a steaming mug. "Sure I could show you some of the
ropes. Are you really new to sport Gears? It's not that different from
military duelling except that it tends to be safer and friendlier. I heard
that you were in the military before coming here? Were you a duellist?"
