Katrina hand was on her dagger, ready to slide out as she rose, what had startled Lryera that she suddenly stood up? Then she sat down only to do it again when the knight came to the table with a servant bearing gifts.<br/><br/>To be honest Katrina was beginning to be baffled by the wall of words that where pouring out of Lryera. In her own way she began to pick out what she felt was relevant to her.<br/>“My name is Katrina Stormchaser, I have no need of any other title. You can of course call me Katrina as we are to be companions.”<br/><br/>A look of puzzlement came over her face as she heard Lryera say, “swing stronger than if you did so naked.” Leaning forward Katrina spoke softly, “Why on earth would I like to fight naked, totally impractical. Thinking before speaking is often a good thing. A few thought out words conveys more than a whole speech about nothing.”<br/><br/>It was really hard to be polite and not shout ‘By the Gods woman do you have to chatter on so.’ As she normally would, but Lryera would be a companion and so got some leeway. Mentally Katrina added a gag to her packing, no place for chatter in a dangerous situation.<br/><br/>So to take her mind of throttling Lryera she turned to the others, “Allistair, we must discuss tactics, Oberym you know the wisdom of silence. Is they’re anyone else to join us.”<br/><br/>
