The Daekin couldn't prevent a smile after listening to Kella's comment about her charm. Oh she was correct, more than correct in fact. Her charm could drive a man mad if she wanted or if she knew the power she had over those whose heart desired her. When she came and stood near him to see the river and listen to the briefing of the mission they were about to embarch on, Eyvind felt something jumping inside his chest. He nodded when Kella commented how she liked covert operations.
"I know you like them and I guess you are somehow more prepared for them than we are. After all you were attached to the Imperial Shields. They should have given you some training, I suppose. If not I know you can move like a cat in the shadows. I still remember that assault to the Navy Compound back in Aelyria Prime."
He paused to listen Kella's indignation about Eyvind's decision.
"You are not rusty, Kella."
He said taking his hand to his lips.
"I am just worried about you..."
He then kissed Kella's hand and then he was overwhelmed by Kella's request. Her speech didn't have a pause and Eyvind couldn't take his eyes from hers. She was asking him to help her refreshing what she knew about combat. She was asking him help and she could still keep her charm while doing so.
"By my honor, you will be a fine swordswoman after we finish this spar. You will be more than a match to any of my men and you will be able to defeat me."
