(K, we're gonna keep going with Eglig at the back with Sawin)
You all head back to the shrine to find the maidens and Talia already there. The maidens are now wearing traveling clothes, tunics, pants, and cloaks, and all have knives, while Talia is showing them how to use them in a fight.
(I'm really sorry mate could we take a break? I know its your time i feel shit about doing this but we're 2 guys down atm cos sawin hasnt returned yet either. 20 mins?)
"good to see that you are training the maidens to fight Talia, i commend you for helping us keep them safe"
(we are gonna have to pause for around 20-30 mins, if that's okay, people are eating dinner and doing other things for dinner. i will message this thread once we are back. Sorry for the inconvienience)
"I'm not teaching them to fight, I'm teaching them to defend themselves in case we can't. We're not going to be throwing religious maidens into a battlefield."
"Training someone with a knife isn't something anyone can learn in a day, but they've got the basics enough to know how to keep themselves alive in a pinch. I can train them more as we go through the mountain, and they'll be adequate by the end of the journey. Let's head out."
"i realise that this is probably an irelevant subject, but i have concerns about the younger maidens need to use a knife. I'm sure you both wish the same as me for the younger maidens to not have to fight, but is this a smart idea? I do not wish to see any of the maidens kill a man, creature or Beast"
leans back
"but if you feel that the young maidens will be able to go through with their self-defence training then i will not question you about this again. I am only saying this from a place of concern for them. But i trust your judgement Nika and i see that your training is well placed Talia"

I trail behind, ensuring the half-orc keeps pace.
I head to the shrine following Durk

(Nah, it's fine, I understand. I need to get lunch anyways lol. See u guys in half an hour?)
(yeah that's good)
(3 of us are here, we will continue if it's fine to just assume that the other 2 are following the party?)
(yeah, they can just hop in when they get back)
"I'm not teaching them to fight, I'm teaching them to defend themselves in case we can't. We're not going to be throwing religious maidens into a battlefield."
"of course, i realise that i spoke poorly, i of course saw that you are teaching the maidens to stay safe, to send them into battle would be foolish"
"Self defence is a worthy stand to take, I commend your forward thinking"
"Giving them a way to defend themselves is a good idea, in case there isn't a river to send people down five knifes will probably do"
"Exactly. You know, Durk, for a man of words, you slip up quite often." Talia teases you with a smile.
Nika speaks up and says defiantly, almost defensively "I can still kill someone if I need to."
"well when i see a women like you how can you expect me to not find it hard to stumble on my words"
I tease with a smirk
At this Talia rolls her eyes and shakes her head, smiling a little, and Nika seems a little uncomfortable, shying away from Talia and you.
"A few trifling exchanges don't speed us along, Talia are you finished with your training or do you need a small time longer?"
"Training someone with a knife isn't something anyone can learn in a day, but they've got the basics enough to know how to keep themselves alive in a pinch. I can train them more as we go through the mountain, and they'll be adequate by the end of the journey. Let's head out."
i signal Talia and Nika over to me with a more serious looking face
"may i have your attention ladies?"
looks over to the rest of the party
"we can leave after i have a quick chat with these two"
Talia and Nika both come over, looking curious. "What's up?"
leans in
