Neal watched the two walk into the mess grinning, Dom could charm a snake, but I never thought he would be able to talk Kel into something even vaguely close to an escort. The two, Kel and Dom went through the mess line and came over to sit with Neal. Kel looked the farthest from ladylike possible, the way she walked and the way she sat down, she acted more like a boy in a dress. But her hair, that was something he had never seen her do, she had tied it back with a ribbon, odd? "So, Neal what do you think of this weather we are having", Dom asked giving Kel a brilliant idea.
"Tolerable I suppose, why do you ask" Neal answered.
"Well, I was thinking the younger staff group needs to face some real opponents" Kel said her eyes twinkling.
"Oh no, you aren't gonna get me to do that again, remember what happened last time" Neal said nervous.
"Come on meathead, it will be an adventure, your getting to comfy in that little nurses job of yours" Dom chimed in.
"Not in this life time, Kel why don't you just start them on swords. We have some spares, and the swords are much more effective in battle" Neal suggested an idea Kel had been considering for quite some time now.
"That would work, but would they agree to it, most people feel swords are only for nobles", Meric reminded them from a seat slightly to the side of Neal.
"Well they wont care these are children, and they will learn everything we are willing to teach them" Dom told Meric logically.
"Well then we should gather the group together right after this meal, the Smithy will be the place to start since they will need to change the swords to fit them" Kel told the group, agreeing they called Tobe up from his seat with the other children. "Tobe, can you make sure the entire staff group meets us after lunch at the Smithy, we are going to start making part of our training with swords".
"Yes, of course, but aren't swords for nobles?" Tobe asked her.
"Guardsmen fight with swords and they are commoners, and in any case the glaive is a noble weapon yet you fight with it and have for quite some time" Kel informed him sending him back to finish his lunch. Submitting Tobe bowed and headed back to the table to tell the rest of the children about the change in plans.
