[QUOTE="Rastfar, post: 3339492, member: 9596"] 12, Sek 637 M.Y. Mornings are to be a busy time for us: Laarus and Victoria both observe their holy prayers and rituals, Markos and I dedicate time to poring over our tomes, and Timotheus and Telemakhos stretch, spar, and exercise. I would very much prefer it if I could only take two hours of the first watch and then wake up early, halfway through our third watch so that I might still accomplish my chores in the evening and yet find time to my necessities in the morning, allowing me to join the veteran warrior in his instruction of my brother-in-law. This may take some arranging but I’d be foolish not to try and learn more of what he has to instruct. He even carries a saber as I do, and seems keen to stress defensive maneuvering more often than offensive. Or perhaps this is the devotion of his pupil. As we travel during the day I ride next to Victoria, bringing up the rear behind Telemakhos and Markos. Timotheus and Laarus ride out in front. This ‘formation’ has been designated by Timotheus. She does not speak to me much, but I guess she does not speak much at all. As I understand it, her House – the Ostranders – are at odds with the Briareus and Raymer Houses. Or mayhap she thinks me beneath her, for even her noble upbringing is evident in her action and manner of speaking to others. As we left town yesterday she took full advantage of our steward making her race about town in order to secure some last minute provisioning. I am not sure if this is a lack of foresight or certain expectations being unmet, regardless her tongue and demeanor are as stern as her spine. While my day was spent mostly in silence in my own quiet musings, I have found myself enjoying the road and still relish the action I know to come. During my watch I have again tended to my horse and the pack animal. The others have continuously ignored theirs. Markos has again tended to the other five steeds. He has caught on quickly, needing only minimal guidance from me tonight, however, I was sure to again express my disdain for him assuming the others’ workload. [/QUOTE]
