Gypsy sheathed her sword at her back in a fluid movement and turned to the female with a nod, "Just Gypsy, please. I never had titles before I came here and I'm not used to them," she said simply as she looked the both of them over carefully.
She could tell the woman was a Succubus, the male's features marking him as her son and a budding Incubus. She could also tell by the boys sullen expression that he didn't want to be here and easily saw what he thought of weapons training.
She ignored him for the moment and turned back to the female, ignoring the fact that the woman made her look simple in beauty. At least Lareth had seen to the basic containment of her demonic half despite the allure she'd carry permanently.
She gave the female a nod of respect, "What can I do for you?" she asked as she pushed a lock of her fiery red hair behind one ear and wiped at the small bit of sweat that had gathered across her forehead with the back of her arm.
She was wearing simple fighting leathers today; basic bustier, leather pants tucked into knee-high boots, all in a basic brown leather without embellishments aside from the sword at her back and the two daggers strapped to one thigh. She preferred to keep herself simple these days, not wanting to attract potential mates for a while. Not until she was ready...

Gypsy raised one eyebrow at him and grinned, "Oh really?" she asked him softly, her voice dropping into the seductively teasing tone she knew full well his mother could use to perfection and started to walk towards him, her hips swaying enticingly as she let her demonic side out just a bit. Not fully. If she were to let it out fully, only Lareth could contain it again.
No, she let it out just enough to let him know exactly how enticing she could be if she wanted to, just enough to make him think twice about insulting a woman holding a sword, "I will wager you that I've had more offers in the last week than you've had in the last year, boy... I'll also tell you here and now that men kept in a harem are required under royal law to be able to protect themselves and the one they bind themselves to..." she told him as she circled him slowly, letting him get a whiff of her scent, knowing the exact effect it would have on one so young and foolish.
"No female worth her salt would consider you as you are now... You're at best a toy, something to be used then thrown away when the new wears off... You're weak physically, certainly no challenge to a female who prefers her bed partners to be strong enough to take them instead of waiting on a whim... You're supposed to be a demon of desire... Yet you desire nothing, know nothing of a woman's real desires... You're a puppy trying to play at being a hellhound..." she whispered to him teasingly as she moved around him sensually, enticingly.
With her last words though, she used the flat of her sword to knock his leg out from under him, dropping him to the dirt on his precious a** as she moved back towards his mother and the soldiers who had started to gather. All of them were looking at Gypsy like she was a piece of candy they were dying to taste. But all of them knew better than to offer, knowing how badly she could beat them. A demon female needed a male stronger than herself in her life, something to challenge her and to be able to protect her.
She pushed her demonic half back down and gave the woman a respectful bow and a smile, "Why don't we let him sit on his a** as he likes for a bit while I see where your skills need work, milady? I do apologize for neglecting you," she said softly, keeping the words light and teasing, "I'd suggest enlisting the boy in the guard, but he probably wouldn't survive a single day," she added, gesturing to the other guards over her shoulder with the tip of her sword, "They'd eat him alive proving that they were stronger than he is," she couldn't resist that last taunt to the boy as she prepared to test the woman's skills.

Gypsy glanced at him as he dusted himself off then shook her head as she looked back at his mother and considered the possibilities, finally giving a grin, "I have a better idea," she said simply and turned to the watching soldiers, "Garu!" she called out simply.
A lean and lanky soldier trotted over to her, halting a few steps away and gave her a nod of respect, "The boy apparently has reconsidered testing his skills with me. Check the lady's skills for me. Don't hold back with her, she won't thank you for it," she told him with a wink, gaining a grin from him as he moved to get one of the practice blades, "And Commander, remember to be polite or you'll wind up on the ground like you did yesterday," she added, making him blush as he checked to make sure that his 'protection' was still in place. He did have plans to have children someday, after all.
He gave the woman a bow of respect, "Milady..." he said politely to her and invited her forward.
Gypsy finally turned back to the boy and approached him, "You were saying, boy?" she asked him with one raised eyebrow at his attitude, "Do I sheath my sword or do we cross blades? Have you finally found your courage through embarrassment or will you walk away to leave your mother mourning your corpse later on?" she added that last one deliberately, knowing full well that it was possible.

Garu actually had a hard time keeping up with the lady but did his best, readily admiring her skills as they sparred.
Meanwhile, Gypsy didn't give the boy any warning as she went on the attack, forcing him to defend himself as she chased him across the grounds. She made sure to use her left hand, though, not wanting to actually hurt him. As it was, she managed to get a few hits in with the flat of her blade that she knew he'd be feeling later.
His arrogance finally wound itself out and he finally started trying to go on the attack. When he got that far, she started calling out pointers that were followed up with another slap from the flat of her sword, "Get that arm up... Why do you have the other arm up like that? What are we doing, playing? It'll get sliced right off if you keep it up like that... Never thrust, boy, slice instead. Wear your opponent out by bleeding him... The goal is to make them run away from you or die, not laugh at you. Now get that leg back where it goes..." she called out, each one gaining him a painful reminder then a sound of encouragement when he followed through by doing it right.
She finally ended the bout just as Garu's sword went flying to land in the dirt next to the boy while the fort's commander held his stinging hand and swore roundly. Gypsy gave the boy a nod and turned to his mother with a nod, "He'll do. Have him come by for about four hours each day and I'll work with him. Basic escort will be all that he'll need to get here. As for you, if you can get Garu to swear like that, you don't need any new skills. Just get a good sparring partner. I'd suggest either your husband or one of the trained Incubbi. They'll hire themselves out for weapons sparring only if the contract is good enough," she told her then held a hand out to the boy with a serious face.
"As for you... I'll teach you... I'll teach you to survive, to defend yourself. But you'll have to put the work in for it. You've actually got some promise to you. I won't coddle you or baby you. You'll work with me and have the bruises to show for it. After the sword, I'll teach you dagger. Dagger's harder to learn but better for smaller spaces and not something an enemy will expect you to know. Now go hit the shower and get changed then come back here for your schedule. Garu will show you the way," she told him firmly, showing him no sympathy but giving him encouragement at the same time.
Then she moved to his mother to work out the boy's schedule, knowing she'd get to shower later on.

Gypsy shook her head at the woman and smiled, "It's alright. I'll get it out of him in the end. So will the other soldiers. Better he learn with them watching than his mother, if you can understand what I mean. I was hard on him today. Stung his pride. I can tell that Lareth has worked with him, though, and that saved him from a few more bruises. He'll learn," she told her softly as she sheathed her sword and collected the one Galu had lost.
She wiped that blade down and put it back with the others as the rest of the soldiers left with Tamlin for the showers, "I'd almost recommend that you instal him here for the duration of his training with me, but he's not ready for it yet. I'll give it another day or two before I suggest it. At that point, he'll be ready to give up on all of this and try to run away from it. So we'll n** that one before he gets there by moving him down here. Probably be better if his father dropped him off that day, though. It would reinforce that he doesn't have much choice in it," she added, doing her best not to envy the woman her son, however spoiled he was.
