[Lysander's evident skepticism might be...no, definitely is offensive, but in his defense, he hasn't seen his wife do anything that required physical effort besides maybe a walk in the garden. Admittedly, he hasn't known her for very long, or knows her very well either, but if someone had been interested in training or exercise to begin with, he thinks they would have done so already.
Which begs the question of why in the world does Calytrix want to do this?
It's not as though Lysander objects on principle. There are numerous female knights in the ranks already. But he does have to wonder if she knows what she's getting into. He's seen it enough with fresh recruits who believe because wielding a sword is destiny in their dreams, it will somehow translate into reality.
Well. Maybe understanding if she is entirely out of her depth would be a good place to begin. He folds his hands on his desk and leans forward a fraction, the smoke gray of his eyes fixed on her expression. This is probably the most attention he's paid to her since she's arrived but...that's a thought for another time.]

What sort of training did you have in mind?
