Eithne wanted to roll her eyes. Eragos was a tit sometimes. Yes, of course he noticed the sword first. It hadn't belonged to her for very long, but it was hers now. If anything was going to wretch the sword from her it'd be death. It was a gift, a grim one at that, but a gift nonetheless. Eithne watched him for a moment, he was stupid wasn't he. It used to belong to Vargis, and Vargis didn't part with things that were his often. Did he think she stole it? Or did he think worse. Suddenly she felt very defensive about the whole thing. She'd come over to ask him something, ask him, not demand, or tell him. She wasn't coming over to yell at him either. She wasn't coming over to start a fight and he was..
Maybe he wasn't.
Augh.
"It used to, you're right. He gave it to me." Her voice was soft. "I need help learning how to use it, because he wants me to learn how to use it." Eithne turned her eyes on Hasna for a moment, cocking her head to the side a bit. Vargis was very much still alive so the woman wouldn't have any reason to threaten her again. Eithne was no longer sad about anything, she could be angry though. She turned her body back towards Eragos. She wondered if everything had changed completely then. If they'd never be the same now. He would never know what she was planning on doing from now on. But did that mean he was never going to look at her and smile ever again. She didn't expect a smile now, there was nothing to smile about. There was a whole kingdom that was dead behind them. But the look in his eye..
If they could never be the same, but he could go on and be captain like Vargis said. if he could be as pristine as he appeared, as pure as he hoped in his heart even if he knew the tarnish of his former life would never rub off.. She could be okay with that. She could go on missions with someone else if it came down to it. if he became captain and fired her she'd understand that. She'd have to. She would. That didn't mean it wouldn't hurt or didn't hurt.
Her eyes left him then, and she found the ground just a bit more appealing.
"And since you're the best I know I thought I'd ask if you'd teach me how to use it. I'm of no help with fists. I'm not saying teach me to destroy, just teach me how to defend if you like."
