Maybe Elen’s thinking about involvement in SCA (Society for Creative Anachronism) or some such hobby when she gets free time. One of my cousins was a member and his wedding was SCA-themed (and a blast!). Also, I have a couple of oriental broadswords that I used for double-broadsword groundfight training. (Good for coordination and you really rotoroute a few neural tunnels while you’re at it.)
Elen doesn’t like to dress up.
