"Ha!"
*Swish*
"Ha!"
*Swish*
"Ha!"
Now dressed in more a fitted outfit, Charleen practiced her swordsmanship with her weapons of choice the long sword and the double bladed ax. Beginning with the long sword her moves start out fluent but soon become choppy as she anticipated today's later events.
*Whine*
"So," *swish* "what do you think's going to happen huh Zar?" *swish* "Ha!"
"Whine*
"The town's going to revolt because I become a bad leader?" *swish* "Ha!"
*Whine*
"Or is everyone," *swish* "going to be proud," *swish* "of me," *swish* "because I bring the city," *swish* "into some kind of golden age" *swish*, stabbing the sword into the ground and turned to Zar. "Because of my amazing abilities?"
*Bark!*
"Yeah," she lifted the sword to return it to its rightful place. She then retrieved the double bladed ax below it and prepared herself for the second part of her training, "I don't think so."
*Bark Bark!*
"Ha!"
"My lady," Boa entered the training area ready for an argument, "I believe it is time you get ready for the meeting later tonight."
Charleen swung the ax around once and stabbed it into the ground then with her back to Boa as she spoke, "Um Boa… Since I'm going to be given real responsibilities, i.e., a higher power in the estate, I sort of want to tell you something."
The elf rolled her eyes, That you're ready for me to work even further beneath you? "What is it, my lady?"
"I'm… Sorry."
"Wha— Excuse me?"
Charleen turned around now with her chin on the top of her ax, "I'm sorry for how I've treated you over the years. I mean…" She lifted her ax from the ground and returned it to its place, "I've been a brat for the past few years and really, it was because, all I've been doing is learning, and training… and I was sick of staying in this castle all the time." The lady then shifted her ax to the side and rolled her eye, "Either this one or the one in Orlais, but that wasn't want I wanted…" Placing the ax on her shoulder, Charleen walked over to the weapon rack. "I wanted to see the world. But now that I know I have don't have that choice, I might as well make due with what I've got." Placing her ax in the rack she turned to Boa, "And that means making up with you," or at least tring to.
She then walked up to Boa and held out her hand, "I have to learn to be a good leader, so I might as well start now. No hard feelings?"
Boa looked to the girl in astonishment, she has never seen Charleen act so civil, the idea was almost unimaginable. But Boa saw how the little girl that she had been looking after for so long had finally grown up and so she agreed to the peace offering. "No hard feelings."
*Bark Bark!*
The two shook hands as they left the training area, with Zar following behind.
"By the way, even though you say that you're stuck here, you've always been able to leave the castle for your own fun. How was that?" asked Boa.
"Boa, there are secret passages all over this castle; I think people make them on purpose."
"What would be the purpose?"
"Huh… I don't know, maybe they are all accidents."
