Gideon perks up. Though she works out every day, even using the machete as a stand in, there's a distinct shortage of fighting (officially sparring when not trying to kill each other) in her life. She even misses daily training with Aiglamene on the rapier. "What do you say to we each get whatever books we're getting and using that dead end hallway to the water fountain?" At least there are smaller odds they'll hurt someone passing by there. This place reeks of people. Everywhere.
