Aedan smiled "See, we're not even there and conditions are already a hundred times better than the Arena. Dry, warm, plenty of food, don't have to sleep on the floor,"He joked, listing off the things as he said them "Oh, and in the Arena I didn't have you there. Not for the last 2 years, anyway" Damianos blushed and smiled at Aedan. 'You can't have missed me that much.' He joked, winking at him. He looked up as Atreus opened their door and tossed in the sleeping sack, along with a small bag of food, and a flask of water. 'Go easy on it.' He said, glancing between them, before shutting the door and returning to his seat. A few moments later, they were moving again. Damianos eagerly moved to the bag and opened it, pulling out two buns of sweet-tasting bread. He handed one to Aedan, biting into his own and sighing happily.

"I didn't miss having to lecture people on the fact that the practice dummies were there to be practised on and not destroyed" Aedan joked as he took his own piece of bread, biting into it, and allowing the warmth to fill him with momentary bliss. If this bread was anything to go by, Aedan decided, he had been entirely wrong about the Arena food not having been too bad. This was a hundred times better than even the best Arena food. Perhaps it had really been disgusting and Aedan had simply grown used to it

Perhaps it had really been disgusting and Aedan had simply grown used to it Damianos burst out laughing, the same pleasant rumble, which was perhaps a tiny bit deeper than before. He finished his bread, relishing the taste, then watched Aedan with warmth in his eyes, feeling happier at Aedan's happiness. When night fell, he settled himself into his sleeping sack beside Aedan, gazing at the ceiling, trying to ignore the rocking of the cart and focus on the fact he was with Aedan, and taking him to a better place.

Aedan got into his own sleeping sack, wishing his friend goodnight.
A little while later he could feel that his friend was still awake, and he had some idea why.
"I'm so sorry for what they did to you that say, sending you away like that" He murmured quietly "but you're here now and so am I and its okay"

"I'm so sorry for what they did to you that say, sending you away like that" He murmured quietly "but you're here now and so am I and its okay" Damianos felt a pang of pain in his chest, and he closed his eyes, taking a deep breath. 'being taken from you was one of the most painful things that has happened to me in my life.' He whispered. 'Losing you was as painful as losing my mother.'

Aedan smiled "I know, and losing you was like losing my little sister all over again. But we're back together now and our separation was not forever. And so it's all okay"

Aedan smiled "I know, and losing you was like losing my little sister all over again. But we're back together now and our separation was not forever. And so it's all okay" Damianos relaxed and nodded, before rolling to face Aedan, still happyto just see him, and comforted by his presence. He smiled slightly, and then finally he began to drift to sleep. The next morning they were woken by Atreus knocking on the wood. 'Get up; relieve yourselves and come get breakfast.' He shouted, and Damianos groaned, shouting at him to '- off' in Greek. Atreus returned the insult with one of his own, and Damianos chuckled, forcing himself to sit up. He looked down at Aedan and immediately became more awake, smiling widely. He was still here. This was real.

"You honor me by starting alive." Sabina smiled brightly then waved away the formality, "Call me Sabina when we are without an audience please." She smiled then looked at his wounds, placing her silver sash on the chair st checked over his wound. "The doctor did well," she sat back in her seat. "What is the name of the warrior that fought so well for me?"

Aedan was woken be Atreus, and laughed as he listened to the exchange between the two other men. "Morning," Aedan said to Damianos, his words sounding like a groan as he stretched and sat up himself, running a sleepy hand through his blond hair as he smiled as his friend "We should probably go get breakfast, huh?"

"What is the name of the warrior that fought so well for me?" Aedan remained silent while she checked his wounds, and only nodded in agreement when she said the doctor did well. At her question, he replied "My name is Aedan, but when I became a slave they named me Felix. You, of course, may use either of these names for me"

'Probably.' Damianos chuckled, pretending he hadn't been checking Aedan out a little while he'd stretched. He got dressed then headed out and relieved himself, before joining Atreus around a small campfire the trainer had made.

Aedan followed a couple of minutes later, having also dressed and relieved himself before settling around the campfire.
It was a cool morning, and so the campfire was a relief for all three men.
(Hehe, first signs of romance. Can't wait to get this rolling XD)

(Hehe, first signs of romance. Can't wait to get this rolling XD) Atreus retrieved three bowls; one obviously newer than the other two; and ladled out something that resembled stew into them, before handing them to the two Gladiators. 'Eat up.' He said, digging in to his own. 'You'll need it when you meet the boys, Celt, if you're anything like Damianos was when he met them. He got floored.' Damianos flushed and looked at the ground, coughing awkwardly. Atreus glanced up. 'Though you seem more responsible. Perhaps they'll go easy on you.' 'He's referring to their teasing nature.' Damianos said. 'But I did get... literally floored. Aquila tossed me right over his shoulder and slammed me into a column.' Atreus coughed, starting to laugh. It was gruff, but almost as contagious as Damianos'. 'Took him two days to recover from his pulled shoulder wound.'

(I can't wait either!! I kind of want this group of gladiators to be more like a mini family than anything else, but like a really, REALLY immature one, constantly poking fun at each other and winding up newbies))

Aedan laughed at Damianos' story, finding the other man's blush endearing.
"I guess in your time training with me I didn't teach you all that much about gladiators, huh?" He said to the Greek
These gladiators sounded like many Aedan had met, though most of the time those attitudes were gone pretty quickly if they trained in the Arena. He supposed that with Atreus, they could have opportunities to act more like schoolboys than gladiators.
(OMG yes this will be amazing)

'You taught me what I needed to survive.' He said, placing his hand on Aedan's arm. Atreus watched them curiously. 'You two have good chemistry.' He murmured. 'I'm not going to split you up.' He decided. 'You'll fight in pairs. Aedan, if you get along with my boys, I'll allow you to do groups as well. Damianos is their defence, and covers Aquila's weaknesses- and I'm sure you, in turn, could cover his.' Damianos listened intently, gaze focused as he thought about it, a more serious expression on his face.

(So... we just found our Elf after looking all morning
Sitting on top of the shower
With a tiny plastic shower-cap on
Holding a flannel (towel)
Officially think I've bust a rib laughing))

There was a spark, like an ember, when Damianos touched Aedan's arm, and it was all Aedan could do to try and concentrate on what Atreus was actually saying.
Aedan nodded "I'm fine with that. The only pairs I've ever fought have been with Damianos, and I know how he fights, inside of the Arena as well as out"
He trusted Damianos completely, and if all Atreus wanted was for Aedan to continue to trust Damianos, Aedan was more than happy to oblige.
He also didn't need to advertise his ability to fight groups, considering tat he'd been a gladiator for seven years and had seen almost every type of fighting tactic. He knew how to cover everything and he knew how to fight everything.

Atreus looked at him with a blink, and Damianos blushed deeply, looking away. 'His name is Aedan, not Celt.' Atreus' lips twitched and he silently continued eating. Damianos finished his bowl and ladled a second, then looked at the area around them. 'Bout an hour now?' He asked, and Atreus nodded. 'I'll knock in half an hour for you to both start warming up. The boys will be at you the second you walk through the doors, and I don't want either of you getting injured.'

Aedan smiled when Damianos defended him, but put his hand on his upper arm to let him know it was okay. He didn't mind being called Celt, for he had been called much worse things.
Aedan too had time to finish his first bowl and eat as second - after all, Atreus had warned him he would need it - be for either was time for the pair to climb back into the carriage.
Aedan settled into his own seat as Damianos got into his own, and moments later the carriage was moving again, taking them towards whatever kind of crazy, hyper gladiators awaited them back at the training grounds.
