Chapter Three: Meeting The Squires
When they arrived at the training courts, several young men stopped what they were doing to stare at the beautiful girl standing beside Neal.
Kel, feeling uncomfortable under their stares, blushed and looked away.
A few of the young men called out friendly greetings and wandered towards them to talk and be introduced.
"Lady Keladry of Mindelan, may I present Faleron of King's Reach," and handsome, dark-haired boy bowed, "Merric of Hollyrose," a tall, red- haired boy nodded, " Owen of Jesslaw," a shorter boy bowed, "Seaver of Tasride" he nodded, "and this giant is Cleon of Kennan."
The aforementioned boy turned out to be extremely tall and red- haired.
Kel, not considered to be short at five feet eight inches, had to look up at all of them in order to see their faces.
"It is very nice to meet you all. I look forward to getting to know you. I hope I can find time to enjoy your company.", she responded.
The boys blushed at the thought of spending time with her.
"Lady Keladry, have you had any weapons training? We've heard of your time in the Yamani Islands.", Faleron asked.
"Kel, please, and yes, actually, I have had some training. I can hold my own with a sword and a glaive (a/n: let's just assume they know what a glaive is). I am also fairly good with a bow."
Would you give us the honor of practicing with us during your stay here?", he asked.
"Of course. I would be honored."
He smiled and nodded, looking content.
"Why did you have to ask her? I wanted to ask.", the boy called Owen asked.
"You were taking too long," Faleron replied, "she, and the rest of us, were beginning to grow old."
Kel laughed and said,
"And here I thought I would have to sit around doing embroidery all day! I had no idea I would be so entertained!"
They laughed and plans were made for her to meet them at eight the next morning to practice before the boys went back to their practicing.
"Well, Kel, where do you want to go, now that my friends have made complete fools of themselves?", Neal asked with a grin.
"Oh, I wouldn't call that making fools of themselves, it was quite entertaining. And, to answer your question, I would like to change my clothes. This gown is stifling. Breeches sound wonderful just now."
He laughed and guided her in the direction of her rooms.
