[QUOTE="Frozen Messiah, post: 5146434, member: 84832"] Claude was tired, not a tired that made him clumsy and forgetful but one that hardened him to what was needed to be done today. This tiredness stems from his dreams the day before. Once he was brought to his quarters he preapred himself for bed. He knelt down in silent prayer before he slept, as he does everyday before resting. He thought of the journeying that the group had been doing and all that had been accopmlished and the small things that never ended to surprise him about his fellows. After this prayer he got up and stood by the window and looked out upon the gardens and fountains of the courtyard. It made him remeber his past but he shook his head and went to his bed. Sleep took him quickly and he was soon dreaming of a mist covered place that is both familiar and unfamiliar. As he stood in the fog he could hear the rumble of a horse on fresh grass and somehow he could feel as if he was riding. The wind parting over his face, the morning dew that still floats in the air hitting his body and face make him wet, the hypnotic pattern of the horses heartbeat that carried him and made him feel as if they are intertwined. Soon he is greeted by his fathers voice, it spoke to Claude of patience, respect of the enemy but hatred of his intent, and not to act quickly due to emotions but to take intiative when there is no other options available. The voice finally finished by telling him a name that he will use when he needs to. Claude woke up after the name was said kneeling in the courtyard as if in prayer. His eyes burnt with tears and sweat and his body ached as it had before when his father had visted him before. He quickly went back to his room and sat in his bed, not wanting to sleep at that moment because he had far to much energy and he could see that the sun had begun cresting the horizon. Due to his being awake so early he was the first person down to breakfast and as such was able to tae his time eating. Lora came down and wearing the atire of a noble, something that surprised him. It was obvious that she was pleased with the rooming and there seemed to be an ease about her. This was also when he became knowledgable, as everyone else did, of Trinham's dislike of horses.
