Thran and Drayl's swords clashed, sparks flying into the air. For such a built man, Thran knew how to use a rapier exceptionally well in a fight. In one swift move, Thran knocked Epsilon Yato out of Drayl's hands and tagged him three times.
"That's a third win for me, kid," Thran said, laughing. "You say your a master at the blade but it's obvious you aren't."
Drayl picked up his sword. "I said I was a master at forging blades, Thran. You are obviously my superior when it comes to actually using them." Drayl smiled, having a newfound admiration for the big man.
Thran just shrugged. "Hey, Drayl, I know Lord Chrom gave you free reign over what you do here in Ylisse, but I haven't seen you leave the main castle yet. Don't you want to walk around the city?"
Drayl shrugged. "I don't know. I guess I'm just used to the country life. Being in a main city of a region is a bit daunting, even if your own Deeprealm is near another major city."
Thran nodded. "You are right. Talonthorn was in the middle of the land west of the Halidom."
Drayl nodded. He then picked up the hand-carved sheath. "You talk about my craftsmanship, Thran, but I have to compliment your own. I've never seen a sheath match a blade so perfectly, not even my own."
Thran smiled. "If you like that you'd like my other wood-carvings." He noticed Drayl looking at him odd. "What? Can't a guy like me pick up a small hobby?"
Drayl just shook his head. "Having a hobby is fine, but you strike me as more of a sportsman or runner than a woodcarver."
Thran thought a moment, then nodded. "I see your point. But that's not the case here. Have you even tried the bread at the bakery?"
Drayl just stared at a cloud. "You said yourself I've never been out of the castle, Thran. So no, I haven't."
Thran lifted Drayl up by his college, causing the boy to yell from being suddenly startled. "Then let's go explore the city, Drayl, and you can't say no."
"Or what?" Drayl asked.
"Or I'll tell Chrom to have you escorted out to explore the city." Thran answered.
Drayl just sighed. "Good point, old man. I'll go with you without a fight then."
Thran smiled. "Good idea. Even with your skill I can't just leave the kid I saved from certain death to wander the streets alone."
