Dawson turned to face her before replying, his eyes intent on her, holding firmly to their conversation. “I was always drawn to it. Most of life can be a struggle. How we deal with the obstacles before us helps make us who we are. I like to know at least a little bit of how to handle a situation before jumping in. And if I can help someone else along the way, then all the better. Security just made sense to me, really. Do you know any personal self-defense, by chance?” Dawson sported a slight smile he asked her. A woman in her position ought to have some form of self-defense. Would she really want him barging into her house to save her? He likely wouldn’t complain if she did though.-Dawson, Owner of Secret Securities
She shrugged. “I am working on at least the weapons part of self defense with Karlson’s wife. She and I are taking a training class together in handling and shooting of basic weapons for safety at Karlson’s suggestion. I like her and I like the class. I am actually not a bad shot to be honest.” Astrid had taken quite well to the course and had excelled with the training. Astrid was struggling some, but not too badly.
“As far as physical self defense such as martial arts or hand to hand, I have not had time to find a good class or make that happen. I suppose it is just not something that has been on the forefront of my radar even though I know it should be.”

Dawson grinned. “I’m more than able to assist with that. In fact I can give you a free quick lesson if you like, right here and now.” He moved towards her gently and gingerly and knelt on one knee to get to her level. “Nothing requiring anything extremely physical just yet. Mostly a quick tutorial?” There was a part of him that still had that desire to be close to her, so was this just an excuse? It was important to know such things anyway, right?
His eyes soaked her in as he waited curiously.

His grin was unnerving. Astrid resisted the urge to move from her sitting position on the outdoor sofa as he shifted towards her. Her eyes watched him, waiting and barely breathing. It had been a long time since she let anyone get this close in a social manner. She felt the zing of attraction she felt the first night she saw him, familiar and warm. She felt that warmth flush her skin like a girl with a crush… which was what she was really. His gaze and proximity left her feeling excited and maybe hopeful.
Finally she licked her lips and laughed at herself a little, her crystal blue eyes never leaving his face. “Ummm, go right ahead. I am an enraptured pupil.”

Dawson grinned and offered her a hand to help her to her feet. “Do you know any basic self-defense? Firing a weapon is great, but in close quarters, you may not have the chance.” He allowed her to share what she wished as he led her gently to the center of the room. (OOC: I can’t recall if it was an actual room or the patio.)
