Chapter 2 As they both walked up to the castle, Aidan (nicknamed Ed by those close to him) couldn't help but wonder what will his father's decision be about him going to war, the news of King Cailan's campaign has spread and many young men are eager to join and achieve glory in battle, him included, but his father wasn't in favor of his desire to go, in fact, he wasn't the only one who objected to that, his mother had showed signs of worry and Lisa. Well here was another case altogether, since she grew up with guys all around her, she kinda is like a boy herself, in behavior at least, once she heard of his decision to go to war with the army she protested not out of concern he was sure, but she wanted to come as well. He felt sorry for anyone who would face her in battle, as small as she was, Lisa had such skills that she could beat almost any man twice her size with her skills alone, no..he wouldn't be worried at all, he smiled fondly at the image of her wacking the head of an enemy's helm with the butt of her long sharp knife.
"Ed, ED Ah there you are" called a voice he knew well and from the tone of it, held a tone of urgency in it, he and Gilmore both turned and he was surprised to see that Gilmore had a faint red in his cheeks , was he blushing?
"hi Liz, how are you,or should I ask about the poor soul you chose today for your practice, you know you are a pain in the ass of whomever you pick up? They are bond to lose something in the process of that training."
"Ha Ha very funny but it would be funnier if I shut up and didn t tell you who is coming this way towards you, it would be a real joy watching you from afar while you talk to HER!"
"Oh no, she's here ?I thought I saw the banners but I thought only her father was coming, after all, Rendon Howe has business with father,why did he bring her with him as well?"
"Worst of all, he brought his elder son as well,By the maker If I heard him telling me one of his stupid jokes about fades I would ." She became as red as a tomato.
"Wa wa easy there little sis," laughed Aidan as he saw how angry she was, and he felt sympathy for her, after all, of all the Howe's family, Thomas and Dellilah were the worst, so full of themselves and think they are entitled to anything they like, he knew that the arl had wished Lisa to marry his son and himself to Dellilah , he shrudded at the mere idea of that. He had on occasions kissed her several times and a little more than that but she soon thought he owed her and would never seize to try and corner him whenever she was around, he never felt so trapped, women are scary that's for sure.
"I need to go and find someone else to practice with" said Liz suddenly, "My partner broke his nose and I sent the poor bastard to the healer, but no one's around" she sighed with regret.
"Take Gil!" said Aidan with an innocent smile,"He would love to practice alittle, right?"
A look of surprise and (was that another blushing?) came swiftly and was gone in a moment, ser Gilmore said "My lord and lady, I would gladly have joined the practice but "
"Nonsence, come along, I have to practice my backstabbing a little, I should warn you though, I am new to this move , you don't mind getting scars do you? " She smiled sweetly up at him "Women like Men with scars ".
Ser Gilmore look was daggers towards Aidan, who stood there with a wide smile on his face. He was brave a brave man indeed.
