[~echo~]

Adreif had slept fitfully that night, his dreams filled with blood and fear. He was awake when the horn sounded and immediately got up, clothing himself and eating a quick breakfast before rushing outside to the courtyard.

[CrimsonMoon]

Honor was outside already, calming the pack of puppies un the meadow/yard as she watches a huge battalion of soldiers file into the main courtyard... They all looked weary and battle-torn

[~echo~]

Adreif's eyes narrowed and he wished that his father had responded to his message. He hoped it had been sent in confidence... His stomach clenched as he thought of the reasons his father might not have returned the message. He watched the soldiers file in and deftly touched the hilt of his personal dagger.

[CrimsonMoon]

The Lord Capulet appeared, he was a magnificent man, his hair a deep blackish red and his beard cropped cleanly. His armor was silver yet shined red... From blood splatter. His huge Guan-Dao slung over his back. He seems to look at Adreif than looks away, calling out," My Love, I have returned!!"

Monica appears at a deck and looks out, grinning and waving to her father despite maids trying to pull her back into her room to get her out of her night clothing. aiahar were sticklers about clothing...

Honor smiles and bows to her Master, the dogs aroud ehr trying to catch the soldiers unti she whistles

[~echo~]

Adreif face a brief, deep bow and then straightened and studied the solders as though to father information about the rebels. It seemed that they had lost. He grit his teeth and then seemed to brighten a little at the sight of Monica, although he averted his eyes from her. The peasants were not used to seeing the nightclothes of any but their spouses and children.

[CrimsonMoon]

Monica seems to finally be herded bak to her room while Honor lies on er back in the grass

[~echo~]

Adreif found himself drawn over towards Honor. He sat next to her and looked towards where The Lord Capulet had disappeared. "So. That's who I'll be working for? He seems nice," he said sarcastically.

[CrimsonMoon]

" Don't say that near any one else, do you at least have a prototype he can test?" She huffs, closing her eyes and grunting when thenpuppies climb over her

[~echo~]

"I haven't gotten a chance to make anything new but I have a few of my classic swords I think he'll like."

[CrimsonMoon]

" Than show him, he'll want to inspect your work," She hugs a puppy and grins

[~echo~]

"... Wouldn't it offend him to just walk in and show him?"

[CrimsonMoon]

" Obviously, just wait until he summons you or goes out if his way to meet you," Honor sighs and squishes a puppy's cheeks, cooing softly," You're so feirce~"

[~echo~]

Adreif blinked and stood, sighing. "I'm going to go try out the forge."

[CrimsonMoon]

Honor sat up and counters," Are you feeling well enough to that?"

[~echo~]

Adreif looked affronted. "Why? Do you think I'm weak? I beg to differ, ma'am."

[CrimsonMoon]

Honor frowns at him," I think you're gonna be exhausted from all your late night escapades," she sighs and tilts her head, kissing a small puppy, clearly the runt, between the eyes

[~echo~]

"I worked more than this on any day in my own forge back home," he replied sharply, walking back into the villa.

[CrimsonMoon]

Honor looks away, focusing bac on the runt puppy in her lap, she wouldn't let a mere forger see her rapidly blinking away tears... Idiot... He was so stupid..

[~echo~]

Adreif found himself in the forge, heating up a piece of iron for a new saber. He started working it into a shape quickly afterwards.
