Lenally scooted closer, so she was elbow to elbow with San as he began to recount the story of King Haidar. She looked at him, intent on capturing every detail. His telling of the story might be very different from what her brothers would tell her, tis true. She didn't want details to be spared, she wanted to know everything she could.<br/><br/>As she listened, she became more involved in the story as he leaned closer, as did she. Her eyes widened at the odds, and even though she knew he couldn't see that, her surprised gasp would be noticeable. "Three whole days!? Without rest?!" she said, shocked at that. Stamina indeed! She couldn't begin to imagine what it would take to do that, and longed for a day to be able to show that she could handle something as strenuous as that.<br/><br/>She felt grateful to him for telling her the story as it was, not skimping on the details. She was not disgusted with the tales of blood and gore. True, she'd seen little if any at all in her life but she'd read enough to know that it is not pleasant. She prayed that should she be lucky enough to be in combat that she would not get sickened at her first kill. She'd heard such stories before.<br/><br/>She leaned back a little, trying to envision a plateau soaked in the blood of so many men, the survivors pushed to their deaths by the victors of the battle. All those who were wounded carrying the others, and the three who'd fallen buried with the heads of the rebels. "Wow....." Lenally said, entranced and in awe. She let her mind process all that she'd heard.<br/><br/>"Henrik said I have to wait until tomorrow....." Lenally said, before getting a bit of a wicked grin. She'd broken rules before, but not in a foreign land. "I don't know that I'm as stealthy as you to try and sneak out tonight...I'd planned to practice in the training grounds if I can manage to sneak that far." she said quietly, making certain only he would hear.
