Darius gave Shira an approving nod when she accepted the idea of being trained and funding. Her fire came back as she warned against betrayal. “The word of a drow-knight is not well thought of. But you have my word that we will stay true to this exchange. I do not doubt that you have plenty of wrath in you, and I wouldn’t risk it. We also won’t push you into anything too extensive. But you need to know how to react if someone tries to grab you, at least. It’s an issue of safety.”<br/><br/>Adrian smiled warmly at Shira. “That was the training I started with too. It’s not all that bad. A bit tedious at times. And if any of it makes you uncomfortable, just tell Darius to back off. If you are funding the venture that puts you in charge,” Adrian added, smirking at his brother. “Even if Darius doesn’t like it.”<br/><br/>Darius sent Adrian a withering look. “We’ll leave in a candlemark. The sun will be setting by then and moving through the streets will be easier. We have enough supplies to get the three of us to the next town where we can resupply there. I will see about getting a mount for you, lady Shira.” He paused for a moment, his thoughts flickering through what he knew Adrian was aware of that Shira wouldn’t know. “If you need to sleep, resting now would be advised. While we have the beds.”
