"The Scimitar would be a mid range melee weapon which isn't going to be your strong suit. You're going to be better off keeping things long distance, or by jumping in and out of attack range using your speed."
He would go over and, like before position her hands to hold the dagger securely.
"Get a couple jabs and slashes in with that."

Gidget was surprisingly quick, despite how tired she was. She moved with a strange grace that most wouldn't expect from her. She was lithe and light on her feet. Jabbing forward and dancing back a couple of steps, she tried a few moves before stopping to look at the weapon in her hand.
It was significantly easier to use than even the whip.

Drake started clapping.
"Looks like we got a natural here. Not bad."

"This is... I don't know. Easier to use."
She shrugged, looking at the knife. "Its not as bulky, anyways."

"Let me see that for a moment?"
If she handed it to him he would change the blade into a throwing knife and hand it back.
"Here. Try throwing this one."
He would grab her empty bottle of water and set it up like a target.
"Hit the bottle."

Gidget nodded as she took the knife back. Throwing it? Well, this would be... interesting.
She reared back, aimed, and...
Missed. Bad. She facepalmed, and sighed.
"That was epic levels of bad..."

He would pick up the knife.
"Hold it like this."
He would position her fingers to wrap around the knife better.
"Now throw with your wrist more than you're arm."

"My wrist? That seems..."
She shook her head, and attempted to do what he asked. It was better, but still a fail.

"Start with you elbow. Try not to move your shoulder at all."
He would say as he got the knife and handed it back to her.
"You're wrist is going to dictate how much force is behind your knife."

She huffed in obvious annoyance, but tried again. She kept her arm straight, moved her elbow, and at the last second... flicked her wrist. The blade wobbled in the air and missed the bottle, but only barely.
"Woah. Holy shit, that almost WORKED!!" She seemed giddy with the near-victory, and turned to Drake with excitement in her violet eyes. "Did you see that shit???"

He nodded.
"Just a little bit more practice like that and you can end up proficient in short and long range knife combat."

She snickered, impressed with herself. She was excited that she had managed something, or almost managed it anyway.
"So I need to get myself a whip and a knife. Got it."

"Knives, and I recommend you experiment with a few different types. There are many different types for you to test out, and that includes knives specific for throwing. So you might even find a different style of knife than the one I just made and find it even easier to use."

She nodded, practically buzzing with excitement. She couldn't wait to give it a shot.

"Alright, well, I think that's a good place to end today's lessons, you've learned a few things. I hope. We can keep coming up here to practice with weapons you're curious on learning about, and I want you to keep up with your endurance training. Especially if you aren't going to work on your physical strength and defense."
