She takes a moment to organize her thoughts before she speaks. "I don't have the skills yet, but when I do, I'll need someone to practice my offensive and defensive magical skills with. Someone I can trust to not hold back. In exchange, I offer my non-magical skills for sparring."
Allowing a moment for that to sink in, she continues, "I can teach you how to avoid the moves someone like me makes - and I want to learn how to stop the attacks someone like you would throw at me. I want to learn how to defend myself while at the same time learning to be offensive when necessary. As much as I might be loathe to admit it, you're certainly someone I know to have the skills and experience to teach me." And to teach her in a way that will force her to learn quickly, which she's always found to be better for her understanding. Book reading and research is all well and good, but the rogue has always been better at learning on her feet.
