[Well there's a name. So she'll give hers easily enough:]
Lili.
[Though not said without an air of haughtiness as she's officially sized him up as an idiot who would impose his requests upon the first person he meets.]
There's both a dojo and a gym here - or I could tell you someone to contact if you desire training, but don't think to ask me.
[ he's got a strange double-standard for names; he's considering her correction. in the meanwhile: ]
Nothing with swords or other outlandish weaponry. [ he doesn't think he could carry that sort of stuff around all the time. and he hasn't given a whole lot of consideration to what self-defense he'd like to learn, but he'll name a few of the most effective he's heard of: ] Jiu-jitsu, aikido, or Wing Chun.
[No swords already eliminates a lot of people that Lili knows - who happen to be samurai or actually swords themselves. So when he says those names of styles that she's absolutely never heard of before, she's going to pause.]

[ he's going to be forward all around!! yeah, he pretty much only has "gotta learn SELF-DEFENSE!!" on the mind right now. ]
If that's the case, then names would be appreciated, I'd say.

Lili. Just Lili.
[What is "-chan"???? No one's explained it to her yet but by default she's going to be offended.]
Is there a specific kind of self-defense you'd be interested in learning? There are many skilled fighters here, after all.

Are those hand to hand?
In that case, you might as well ask Rock Lee.
[would you be ready for that, Marco]

[ LILI.... okay, it really is His Bad for assuming she was an absolute expert. ]
But "Rock Lee", huh? What's he like—? [ read: is he as prickly as you, lili ]
no subject
Loud. Exuberant. Friendly. Forward. Annoying.
[ . . . . ]
But he'll eagerly take on a student. Don't waste his time.
no subject
[ as unpleasant as some of those adjectives sound, he's confident it's doable!! ]
Wouldn't dream of it. [ for real; he's not a fan of doing things half-assed. ] Thanks for the name, I'd say.

But she's just going to wave a hand dismissively, even if that flusters her a bit.]
Don't thank me. Just don't be a liability.
