Chapter 4:
Missions
Roran got up from bed and yawned. Katrina was already dressed and she was ready to leave when she noticed he was awake.
"Good morning. You're finally awake. Why don't you get dressed and come to breakfast with me. It'll give us a little time together."
"Alright." So he got up and stretched and then put on a tunic and some wool pants. He combed his hair with his fingers, shaved, and washed his face. Refreshed, he and Katrina walked arm-in-arm to the dining hall. They arrived in a few short minutes and walked in. In some places people were drowsy and were eating with droopy eyes and slow movements. Others were talking quietly and others still were wolfing down their food, no doubt for a new mission or just for leisure time.
Both of them slowly walked over to a half-empty table where a few warriors with hangovers were eating. They ate their bread, cheese, and bacon in silence while sometimes taking a sip of water. Katrina broke the silence, trying to get a conversation going.
"Is your back okay?" She queried.
"Everyday you ask and everyday I tell you, better. It will take time." They both laughed because that is what Katrina would say whenever he asked her if she was feeling better after he rescued her. After that they talked freely having a few laughs and talking. As they finished they walked out of the tent, holding hands. Then someone ran up to them with surprising speed.
"Sir, Nasuada would like to see you, sir!"
"Thank you." He sighed and looked down at Katrina. She was staring up at him with solemn eyes because they both knew what Nasuada needed him for. "I'll be alright, trust me. I will return to you quickly, for you are the thought that keeps me alive." She squeezed his arm, still upset. He kissed her twice and said goodbye as he walked to Nasuada's tent. The guards blocked his way, as usual and he said, "Roran Stronghammer, My Lady."
"Let him in." Her voice came from inside the tent. He trudged in and after he bowed she said, "I have another mission for you, Captain Stronghammer."
Sorry guys I need time to think. I've got it in my head so I'll start now. Thanks for reading.
-also to the anonymous review I got for my second chapter from when Eragon interrogated Arya, you need to remember that she trusts him more and also that he's her only true friend. She did call him out on it when she asked why he was asking those silly questions. Sorry I wasn't thinking anyway. Keep reviewing!
