C SUPPORT

- What's the point of staying in the back if I'm fighting as much as the people in the front lines?- Rennac muttered to himself as he killed another Grado's soldier.

It was then that he saw something in the distance; it looked like a knight on a horse, but they weren't moving.

- What the… I should check it out-, Rennac said then, - I hope it's worth it-.

When he reached the knight he was surprised to find out that not only he was alive and well, but also… drawing? And was that a canvas?

Rennac had no idea about how he should have addressed that situation, but thankfully the knight took the matter on his own hands.

- Can I help you?-, he asked, in fact, with a very polite tone.

- Um…-, Rennac started, - I was just wondering what you were doing here in the middle of the battle-.

- Oh-, the knight said, finally moving his eyes to the mercenary, - Well, I was celebrating our imminent victory-.

- By drawing?-, Rennac asked, skeptical.

- Technically it's just sketching, for now-, the knight remarked, - I'm just trying to capture the most representative moment of the battle, and then I'll finish once we return to the camp-.

- Oh, I see-, Rennac replied, still a bit confused.

- But-, he continued in fact, - Aren't you uncomfortable drawing…-.

- Sketching-, the knight corrected him again.

- … Sketching on a horse?-, Rennac concluded.

- Well-, the other replied, - After a while you get used to it-.

- Besides-, he continued, - It's not as bad as you may think-.

- And what if an enemy attacks you?-, Rennac asked.

- Eh, I know what you're implying-, the knight said, smiling, - But don't worry, I'm more than able to defend myself even like this-.

Rennac was still unconvinced but that singular man had lightened up his curiosity.

- Can I see your dra… sketch?-, he asked, in fact.

- Yeah, sure-, the other said, handing his work to him.

- I must say I'm surprised-, he continued as the mercenary was inspecting it, - I'm more used to people scolding me for this. You're the first person who's actually interested-.

- Even if it's just a sketch, it's already very pretty to look at-, Rennac said, handing the canvas back to his owner, - I'd like to see the rest of your works when we return to the camp, if you have anything else to show me-.

- If you really want-, the knight replied, - But can you at least give me your name?-.

- Oh, how rude of me, I still haven't told you-, the mercenary replied, - My name is Rennac-.

- Forde-, the knight replied.

- Well, Forde, we shall meet again at the camp, then-, Rennac said.

- Whenever you want, Rennac-, Forde replied before both of them went back to what they were previously doing.

Author's notes: I don't even remember how this idea came to me, but I'm having fun writing this. Yeah, it's a random support, but it'll never be as random as Kyle and Colm's one.
