"I see."
*Atterbek? It sounded vaguely familiar to the maid, despite being complete gibberish. She made it a point to learn the figure heads around the area, and that must of been close to one. Her last question was a bit of a waste admittedly, after all it wasn't like she was being stalked. Probably.*

*Now, that was three questions. She debated asking more, wondering if indulging her curiosity further was worth having to talk about herself.*
"Hm... You seem like a competent warrior. Where did you learn to fight, Senri?"
Michele
"Now that takes me back." Senri managed a grin, though it seemed that her heart wasn't in it. "My hometown was along a river leading further into inland Baninta, and there were plenty of dangerous beasts around. I picked up fighting there." She sighed a little then. "Alas, such beasts are exclusive to Baninta, and I've not hunted one in decades. My skills have gotten rusty."

The larger oni picked up and toyed around with a clove of garlic, snapping out of her nostalgia. "So, what about you? That spearmanship made quite an impression."
Gregory
"I'll count that as your question."
*Raylen hummed to herself, wondering where exactly she should start. Their walk together had proven long, and Raylen seemed to be finished with her shopping. Though she didn't quite pull away from Senri just yet.*

"I learned in Salvainia, at a school for vassals like me. My mentor taught me the spear, so I could defend myself and my lord as a Maid-Knight."

*She supposed she'd shown Senri her spear work first hand. The aftermath of her other skill's use was probably lost on Senri, who lacked night vision to see the corpses on that night.*
Michele
"A Maid-Knight, huh... Seems like quite a mouthful. Wouldn't battle maids have been easier to say? But I digress." Salvainia was, admittedly, somewhere she hadn't really visited yet - not properly, at least. Perhaps she could consider it as a destination in the near future.

"...It might be a while until we meet again." Senri eyed Raylen's basket. "I'll walk you back to your lodgings, at least halfway, if you don't mind."
Gregory
*Raylen seems to pout as Senri criticized her title.*
"A knight is a noble and powerful person. Battle Maids just makes us sound rowdy and unpleasant." 

*Raylen kept a steady pace as she walked, glancing back at Senri for a moment.*
"Oh? Why's that?" 

*She raised an eyebrow to the Oni, but shrugged her offer. She had no reason to object, although her tone was a little worrisome.*
"You mentioned a tournament... Will you be there?"
Michele
"Is that so." A note of humor slipped into her voice. "In that case, I'll look forward to seeing you riding on horseback someday."

She would remain silent for a few moments, staring off into the horizon, before turning back to Raylen and managing an absentminded smile.

"Yes, I'll be participating. It's not everyday that I get to stretch my joints a little and be paid for it, after all."
