Life in the Barracks
After the recruits had been dismissed from their first day of training, Kelyn had quickly exited the barracks, her dagger in tow. She was off to practice the thrust, per Silverblade's instruction. After being out there for a good while, she headed for the stables to take Eimhin for a quick run around the city. She couldn't take him too far, as she didn't have too much time before lights out. After getting him all set back up in the stable, Kelyn made her way back to barracks.
After replacing her dagger in her footlocker, Kelyn took a quick look at the women around her. She wondered how many here were citizens and how many were like her, here simply because they wanted to enlist. Even though she was exhausted, and sure that the others must be as well, there was still a bit of time before lights out, Kelyn couldn't help but be a curious person. Also, she was going to be living with these people for the next while; why shouldn't they talk?
Kelyn's main questions weren't about the women themselves. No, she had questions about Silverblade. She had heard the assitants call him "Ironbrand" behind his back, and Kelyn wondered why they would call him that. Figuring that since Silverblade had been here for awhile that one of the natives of Archadoon might know the story, Kelyn simply asked, "Anyone know why Silverblade's assistants were calling him 'Ironbrand'?"
