Alejo watched the grain fly everywhere thoroughly unimpressed. "Hello, I see you've made a bit of a mess of things." He walked over to a corner of the room that held the highest quality blades and was glad to see that there was indeed another rapier.

Tristan took a deep breath so he wouldn't say--or do--something back that he would regret. "I'll clean it up." He grunted, then proceeded to tie up another bag. Now that he was a bit worked up, he punched the bag with one hit that launched it across the whole armory, and hit Alejo in the back as he inspected the rapiers. He froze, trying to decide whether to laugh or apologize. "Sorry..." he stammered, trying to surpress a laugh.

Alejo stumbled forward and felt a slight tinge of anger creeping into his mind. He took a rapier off the display and left his old one in a receptacle where it would either be repaired or scrapped. He finally looked over at Tristan and said "I am fine. You should be more careful though." As he was feeling generous since it would soon be time to fulfill his ambitions he added " Don't worry about cleaning it up. The King's Guard need not do such petty tasks. I'll find a servant to do so. Instead you should focus on your training."

Tristan nodded, slightly shocked that Alejo hadnโt exploded on him. โYes of course.โ he said simply. He would clean up the mess anyway once Alejo. He didnโt like it when the other guards acted superior to the rest of the castle staff. He gestured at the blade, โNeed a new rapier already?โ

"Yes. I encountered some...difficulties recently. I've placed an order for a blade made out of a more durable metal. For now this will have to do." Alejo was careful to skirt around what had happened that damaged his blade so much. It was better that nobody knew.

Tristan raised an eyebrow at Alejo's answer. The man was clearly hiding something. But he didn't want to risk pressing the matter any further. "Well I'm sure it will serve you just fine." He said. Tristan had never been a fan of swords. Or really any weapons at all. They only slowed him down.

"By the way, the dissent against our King has been growing." Alejo informed him. Rumors of possible rebellion had been circulating the city and even inside the castle occasionally. "You should be more alert while on duty. It's quite possible that other kingdoms could take advantage of the dissent and send assasins."

Tristan turned his attention back to Alejo. The rumors of rebellion sparked his interest more than his practice. "Have you heard anything specific?" He asked. If there were plans to rebel against the king, he would want to know about them.

"No, only rumors. However we should be prepared for it to come from inside the castle." Alejo said almost as if he knew something Tristan didn't. "After all, there are many even within our king's court who have their own ambitions."

Tristan took a few steps closer. "You sound as if you know more than you are letting on," He said, a stern look on his face. "What do you know?"

Alejo leaned in closer and whispered "Gracelings. It's quite obvious when you think about who would have the most to gain from a rebellion. Not only are there a large number already in the castle but many could easily overpower the regular human guards."

Tristan said nothing as he considered what Alejo had just told him. A Graceling rebellion? The idea was tempting... "Do you know who all is involved?" He asked, wondering if he knew any of the rebels.

Alejo shook his head "The number of Gracelings with a grudge against our king are far too many. Almost any of the Gracelings in the castle could start a rebellion."

What Alejo said was true. There were many who sought to see the king off the throne. "I'll keep my eyes and ears open," He said, before he went back to practicing his fighting.

"I'll leave you to your training then." Alejo replied and walked out of the armory and started walking to the training grounds. He had ordered Hava to bring Rivi there. On his way he stopped a servant and ordered them to go clean the mess in the armory.

(angelfur sure! @misstrissshade464 okay, I'll have kenna run into her in the market) Lady Kenna walked through the city markets, accompanied by one of her friends, as they scanned the stalls for anything that might catch their eye. The air was filled with the sweet scent of fresh baked goods, and Kenna followed the scent to a baker's stall, where another figure was purchasing food, their figure hidden by a cloak. "Excuse me," She said politely, wishing the figure to scoot over so she could see the pastries and breads. Her stomach growled--she was quite hungry. Tristan was in the armory, wrapping his knuckles in strips of fabric as he prepared to practice on the dummy he had created for himself. When he finished wrapping his second hand, he used his teeth to tear the fabric, then tucked it in so it wouldn't come unraveled. Then, he stood up and walked over to the dummy (a few hanging bags of grain that he had strapped together and hung from the rafters) and began punching. His grace was hand to hand combat, which made him a blur of punches, kicks and jabs that resulted in the dummy being ripped off the rafters within seconds, and exploding on the floor. Tristan cursed and wiped the sweat off his face. This was the problem with fake "opponents". They didn't last long. "Oh sorry here you are," Samantha said moving out of Kenna's so she can get some food. Samantha shifted the hood of her cloak farther over her dace to covee her eyes. |

Attai's eyes widened. "No fear of heights, huh?" She crossed her arms. "Prove it." She lifted her eyebrow, daring the young man to do something crazy.

( mourningdove tristan is now open if efos wants to come over. and Brindlebriar lola can rp with michai since she takes care of the children. also @brambletoe I'm realizing that my dumb self was calling the training grounds the armory XD that's what I had meant, but I couldn't think of the words lol. It's probably too late to change it now but that was why i was "training" in the armory hahaha) After they ate, Hava brought Rivi to the training grounds, as Alejo had ordered. Before they had left, she had checked the girl's hands, and thanks to her healing and Vetiver's poultices, they were almost as good as new. She removed them, then cautioned the girl to be more careful. "Morning Alejo," She said as she and the girl arrived. Jax gave her a wicked smile. "Alright, I will." Then he walked over to the closest tree, looked up at it to make sure it was a good climbing candidate, then scampered up, higher than most people would dare to go. "How's this for proof?" He called down to Attai, grinning madly. Then, wanting to impress the girl, he jumped from one tree branch to another, hanging by just his hands. He began to swing his body back and forth, before letting go and doing a flip before landing on the ground. He turned back towards the beautiful redhead, did a quick bow, then waited for her to respond. |

Kenna smiled at the girl--she knew the figure was in fact a girl from her voice. "Thank you," She said with a nod in her direction before she began inspecting the baker's goods. "I'll take one of those!" She said, pointing to some sticky buns.

"I think your insane!" She breathed, shaking her head. "How do you use your grace? Do you work for the king?" She asked, her heart beating faster. She wanted to befriend the boy, but was frightened that he might turn her in. Michai ran throuugh the hall in his night clothes, still undressed from his night of sleep before. He ran, feeling full of energy. ithout even realizing, he ran smack into Lola, knocking himself off balance. He sat in a disgruntled heap on the floor. "-scuse me." He huffed, not wanting to make eye contact. |
