[CrimsonMoon]

Honor listens to the banging from the forge for awhile longer before standing and walking toward the large house, the puppies followin her.

She was thinking hard when she ran into the hard metal breastplate of who else by Lord Capulet. The large man looks down at her fondly as Honor stumbles and quickly curtsies," Hello master," she murmurs weakly, trying to keep her dignity about her as the puppies played around her.

[~echo~]

A few maids stopped walking to curtsy to Lord Capulet and then scurry off.

Adreif was still working his steel, pointing the edge and crafting it into a dagger to get used to the forge

[CrimsonMoon]

Honor ducked her head as the Lord smiles and muses," Distracted today, my spider?"

Honor straightens and looks into his face but not the Lord Capulet's eyes," Yes sir," she murmurs.

" Is it the new forger?" He queries with a quirky smile

" Yes Master," she blushes slighty despite herself

" Fantastic,"

" M-Master?"

" I will explain later, for now, let me see the young man." The Lord starts toward the forge, Honor trailing behind, trying to shoo the puppies away

[~echo~]

Adreif was pounding his worries into the steel, his worries about his father and supplying the man who suppressed his family with the tools he needed to do so. He was so busy that he didn't notice Lord Capulet approaching until he was right in front of him.

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord Capulet crosses his arms over his broad chest and watches him work, not even seeming phased by the intense heat the wafted from the forge.

Honor hung back outside, giving up on the puppies and lying down so the tiny wiggling shapes crawled over her

[~echo~]

The boy finally did notice Lord Capulet and stopped working immediately, bowing down swiftly and putting one arm across his chest in a common Poemma apology. "Lord Capulet," he said, his voice wavering. "I am so sorry... I didn't hear you, a-and the smoke in here makes it hard to see... Please forgive me!"

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord merely smiles faintly, a somewhat sadistic smile but it was genuine as well," It is alright, boy, I merely was watching you work," he glances out the opening of the forge toward where Honor was playfully holding a wiggling puppy in the air whilst the other's crawled over her legs, wanting to play,"... What is your opinion on the so-called revolutionaries?"

[~echo~]

Adreif's stomach dropped and churned. He should have known this was coming... "I... I think that they should be thankful for your g-generosity and shouldn't rebel," he said. The word 'generosity' was the hardest word to get out. Oh, why hadn't his father replied to his message!

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord stared at him hard,"... If you don't believe the words you speak, just say what you really think." He rumbles coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly and stance growing a bit more... Drawn up

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord stared at him hard,"... If you don't believe the words you speak, just say what you really think." He rumbles coldly, his eyes narrowing slightly and stance growing a bit more... Drawn up

[~echo~]

"No, my Lord, of course I believe them... I've just never been in your presence and I am in awe of your majesty," he replied smoothly, making his eyes wider in a convincing and flattering manner. "I meant no disrespect, of course, my Lord."

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord Capulet pauses and frowns,"... Of course not, my nerves are merely still ruffled from the battle... Those revolutionaries, they fight hard, I give them that, but they only weild kitchen knives and pitchforks against warhorses and veteran soldiers. All the men in my battalion have a minimum of two campaigns experience," there was a hint of pride in his voice yet it was quickly concealed," Some are even former Companions freed from their Masters. In fact... There is someone in this house who has the same training as most of those soldiers

[~echo~]

Adreif gazed at him. "Who... who might that be, sir?"

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord just smirks," You'll have to find out yourself," he muses, his gaze wandering back to Honor wjo had seemed to have given up on restraining the puppies fromcthe way they were scattered around the meadow

[~echo~]

Adreif blinked, wondering if he somehow knew that he had told his father about the attack...

[CrimsonMoon]

" Do you have a weapon I can test?" The Lord asks, tilting his head

[~echo~]

Adreif nodded quickly, rushing over to a shelf and grabbing a hilt. He drew a light, thin saber and held it out to Lord Capulet. "Here... I made it just a few days ago."

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord took the blade and held it in a light, loose, practiced grip. Slicing it through the air a few times," Hmm..."

[~echo~]

Adreif watched carefully for his reaction, growing more and more nervous as time progressed.

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord took his time, probably enkoying his discomfort. Hfinally nods after several long minutes," Decent." He murmurs
