Esca grinned "Wow, really? You'd teach me? I don't know if I would be any good, though. I haven't learned anything at all yet." The little boy couldn't imagine being taught to be as good as the men he looked up to 'If you learn now, when you are- a grown man-' he stumbled over his words; 'you will be the strongest.' He nodded, looking down at him. 'What weapon?' Damianos asked. 'I use a greatsword.'

Esca shrugged "I've not trained with much yet. I can shoot a bow but I want to learn with a sword too, so maybe a greatsword would be good. But I don't know"
Esca was built similarly to Aedan, lean and lithe but without the fighting muscles that Aedan had been forced to develop. He had, at this point, still the potential to use any weapon he chose so long as began training now.

'Do you feel ready to meet your aunt yet?' He asked, lips twitching as he examined him. 'You seem much braver and happier.'

Esca bit his lip but nodded "I think I can go and meet her. Have you met her yet? Do you want to come with me to meet her?"

Esca bit his lip but nodded "I think I can go and meet her. Have you met her yet? Do you want to come with me to meet her?" Damianos blinked, moved at the offer. 'Alright, Little bird.' He said, smiling shyly and standing. 'I will make you bigger.' He then said, grinning and lifting him to sit with ease on his shoulders, walking out to go find his Aedan and sisters.

Aedan grinned when he caught sight of Damianos with Esca on his shoulders. Idelle and Eoghann were both still with him.
"Eoghann," He began "This is Damianos, my partner. And this is Esca, your nephew. I don't know if you met him before, since I wasn't here, so..."
The blonde smiled "No, I didn't."
She gave a friendly introduction to Damianos, which Aedan translated, and she gave a grinning introduction to little Esca, stretching on her toes to ruffle his hair on top of Damianos' shoulders

'Eo...ghann.' His said, struggling to pronounce the strange name. '...Eo.' He said instead, grinning playfully and straightening back up. 'I wonder if little bird can fly.' He then said, lacing curiosity into his tone. 'Do you think if I dropped you, you could?' He asked, looking up at Esca, a sly look in his eyes.

She looked down her hair creating a curtain to hide her features. "I can get someone to train you if you want. I'm gonna keep trying to buy you from that jerk off Remus. Until then you just have to fight." She sighed wishing she could do more.

I'll just do whatever I can to win with what I've already got. I've survived this far, anyway. I'll be just fine, I'm sure."

Damianos grinned, but didn't drop him; he'd rather chop off his own leg than accidentally hurt the little guy. 'I'm sure you can.' He chuckled instead, before looking at Aedan, switching back to Greek. 'Is it alright if I disappear for a day or so to go hunting?' He asked. 'I think i need some alone time, and I'd like to get the lay of the land more.' He bounced Esca lightly on his shoulders.

Aedan nodded "That's okay, if you want to do that. If you want to go alone that's alright too, or I can even ask Idelle if you could have Esca for a couple of days if you want to spend more time with him. Just let me know when you want to leave."
He understood that the other man might want some time alone and might want to rediscover himself and his new environment. After all, it wouldn't be easy for Damianos to adjust. And Aedan could probably use the time while he was gone to start adjusting to his new role in leading the tribe. He would probably need it.

((Why can I see Esca riding around on this huge brown wolf? XD him and Damianos often disappearing for days just to go hunting together and let Damianos enjoy the freedom of his Lykos blood, before they go back to the tribe x'D))

Damianos blinked, feeling the weight of responsibility, before he assured himself the kid would probably know more about his environment that he did. 'That would be nice, actually.' He replied, nodding his head and smiling. 'I could take the time to give him a little training, too. I promised I would.'

(Hehe I think Esca would love that tbh)
Aedan nodded "Sure, I've no doubt Esca would really enjoy that too. Like I said, just let me know when you want to go and I'll check things over with Idelle . But I'm sure it should be totally fine with her."

But I'm sure it should be totally fine with her." 'In an hour or so, then?' Damianos asked. 'Just need to pack up some supplies and get ready for the trip.' He said, gently picking up Esca from his shoulders and placing him back down on the ground, before smiling warily at Aedan's sisters and walking away.

Aedan nodded, and turned to Idelle, pulling her aside to speak with her.
Moments away Esca charged into the family roundhouse, squealing with delight as he hastily packed some things together
"I'm so excited!" he squealed "Are we really going away, Damianos?"
The little boy was flushed with excitement.

The little boy was flushed with excitement. It took all Damianos had to remain composed in the face of Esca's excitement, struggling against saying 'awwww'. 'Yes, we are.' He replied, beaming at him. 'You will teach me more of your language; and I will start training you.' He smiled and finished packing up his bag, shoving a hunting knife into his belt and picking up a bow and quiver of arrows; next was a small wooden spear which he slid onto his back. He looked down at Esca. 'Are you walking, or on my shoulders?' He asked.

Yep!) After the party the week after proved very busy for the princess, she had her serve to Wila take money and supplies to Remus, and was informed to make sure that Aedan was being treated properly and that Lucien the princess's personal guard was to train with him once a day before lunch. She was to see him at the end of the week but until then she was working on her different royal duties such as her classes and assisting her mother and father. By the fourth day of the week she decided to go for a ride, and stopped by the colosseum to check on her gladiator. She paused on her black stallion within the shadows of the massive building and she felt her heart thumping a little faster at the thought of seeing Aedan, it seemed longer then just four days since she'd seen him. For some reason she just wanted to look into his pale eyes and hear his voice, she hoped he was well with everything she has been doing for him. She knew Lucien was a kind man who was a captain in a legion division but was well trained in multiple ways on fighting; shaking her head she tied her horse up and pulled her veil over her wavy black hair more then walked in her light blue dress shining like a beacon in the poorly lit tunnels.

The little boy was baryons excited, carrying the little pack he had put together of things Aedan had said he would need. He had advised him on things he should take and things Damianos would probably bring.

"Celt," said one of the guards "you've got a visitor. She's coming down the hallway now." Aedan looked up as the door to his cell was opened. He stood up as Sabina entered, a small smile already haven broken out on his face at the thought of seeing her. The man already looked healthier than he ever had - he had filled out a little, his cheeks were a little less hollow, his cheeks had more colour in them. His shape had even changed a little thanks to Lucien's training. He had kept his speed but he looked more generally well-rounded, with muscles in places he didn't previously have them. He had been waiting for a chance to see her again so he could thank her for everything that she'd done for him since they'd last seem each other. He was being treated properly now, and his training was so much better than it had previously been. He had sort of been left to his own devices when training before, but how he truly had a guide to show him how he could make use of his physique.

He had advised him on things he should take and things Damianos would probably bring. 'To that forest.' Damianos replied, pointing to the tall trees that he'd gotten lost inside when he'd ran before; deep mist swirled around the roots of the large trunks, their leaves whispering as the wind blew through them. He glanced down at Esca, remembering the long grass and twisting streams. 'Are you sure you want to come?' He asked, lips twitching with amusement.

"Yeah, I want to come!" Esca said, excited "Of course I do. I can't wait to start training and I want to help you learn Celtic. And I like that forest. It's very pretty in the sunlight. Mother says it's scary but I don't think so."
Truth be told, the boy was growing extremely fond of Damianos and extremely tired of meeting lots of new people he never knew about. It was all quite overwhelming for him so he figured he should deal with it one person at a time.

She walked down a little faster though not so obvious she was excited to see her gladiator. Sweeping past the man she waved him away telling him to give the men an extra portion of bread and wine for the evening, smiling as she heard Aedan's neighbors saying thank you to her. When she saw Aedan Sabina smiled brightly a soft blush forming on her high cheek bones her blue eyes beaming, "You look well. I take your eating a lot better, and how's the training? Is Lucien treating you well?" She walked closer her smile never faulting as she stared into his eyes. He looked better than he had the first time they met, and it may be the light but his eyes seemed almost happy to see her and his face seemed to brighten

Things have been a lot better recently. And thank you for Lucien, he is treating me very well, and he's been very helpful" Aedan replied. Lucien had treated him better than most people he had met in a long time. He was straight-talking but he didn't look at Aedan like a lesser person, and he didn't treat Aedan like a lesser person. In fact, he treated him like an equal. The only person that had treated him like that apart from Lucien had been Sabina, and Aedan was perhaps starting to think that there were people who didn't look at him like some sort of animal. Here he he was just called 'Celt' most of the time. He only heard his name when the crowd cheered it, but even then it was 'Felix' and not his real name. But Lucien and Sabina knew his real name, and they used it for him. That was a small thing, but it was vital for Aedan.

After a moment he'd worked it out and slowly nodded. 'I like that forest too.' He said, before he began to walk. He waved at Aedan and his sisters as he began to leave, walking at a slightly slower pace for Esca to keep up.

I told remus the be kinder, if he hasn't ill have lucien talk to him if he isnt." She said defensively. She pushed her veil back showing her black hair that had a butterfly pin in the side of her hair.
