"I know you can but that doesn't mean I should be useless always depending on you all. I've depended on people a lot lately. I want to start being able to stand on my own two feet."

When she started questioning the knife, he coughed and suddenly found the ground very interesting.

"I mean... I have some training with it. Or... experience. Sort of. Mostly just... stuff I've been practicing. With the kitchen knives. So... not really..."

[I_Like_Pi]

Ashlyn blinked, recalling a similar conversation with her own parents.

"Yeah, I get what you're saying. I've been in the same boat, so to speak. But you shouldn't just jump into it, y'know. That's how accidents happen; especially if you don't even have any training with your weapons."

"If you want I could help you practice, with the knives or your new healing thing."

[Caellath]

"I bet some of us could use a stiff drink right now. Too bad we're moving on already."

[Aliemma]

Maria had previously been trying to watch what was going on while she was getting up from being knocked off her horse, and saw the light show that was Alain. Even now as she was making sure that medicine actually worked and that her horse needed none, she was still shaking.

Nonetheless, she tended to Ophia and herself, occasionally listening to see if she could join in to take her mind off things.

I don't drink that often, but I wouldn't mind a round right now,"

"I suppose that the tavern is a fairly common place for you when you need to take some time?"

[Caellath]

"I might not be the most stereotypical pirate, but I do like some mead. And you do look like you could use some yourself."

[Sirus]

: "If I may offer a suggestion? The House of Scholars is several days' journey from here at the best of times. Considering the position of the sun and the delay caused by that battle, there's no reason to set out today unless you are in a particular hurry. We won't be getting far tonight in any case."

[Caellath]

"I think we were in a hurry, but it all depends on the captain." Claude said, turning his attention to Ethan.

[Haspen]

"Hmmm, let's see..." Ethan thought for few short seconds.

"We should move. The more we loiter, the higher chances for the bounty hunters to accost us again, or worse, attack us in our sleep"

[Aliemma]

"I might not be the most stereotypical pirate, but I do like some mead. And you do look like you could use some yourself."

"I figured this lot wasn't standard, but if this is the kind of thing you get roped into on a regular basis, anyone could use it."

[Swordstar]

"I guess I really shouldn't say no, huh? Yeah alright. That makes sense I guess. Better to have some practice with it."

[Caellath]

"Yeah. We have to move on, though, captain's orders. I guess the mead will have to wait until later." Claude replied.

"At least we got something out of that little clash."

The swordsman picked up the sword he'd gotten from Ashlyn and tested its weight. Heavy, but he could probably get used to it. Though he was still talkative and fairly pleasant, anyone used to Claude could tell by the little twitch in his brow that he was rather frustrated and trying his hardest not to let it all out.

[Sirus]

Well, it sounded like they were headed out. Amberly offered a quick prayer of gratitude to the Old Gods for their survival, and another one for the souls of the fallen.

~~Chapter 2: At the Gates of Wisdom~~

After a day of travel, the grasslands gave way to rocky plains with the occasional bush. Another day and the group was at the edge of the desert, where their destination resides hidden behind the dunes.

The group reached the last small village before the sand became commonplace. But unlike all the previous villages, this one was about to stop being peaceful.

Travelers, please stay inside! Desert bandits are about to attack the village! Young men with swords pointed at two bystanders, a knight and a horsewoman, as they prepared to intercept the raiders coming from the sand.

//Gawen Cawallader and Angelica are in!

: Hmph! That idiot Divron now says that he can't find the entrance to the House of Scholars. Well, I guess we'll just have to ask "politely" at the village.
Meanwhile deeper in the desert some other bandits were wandering around looking for something.

: I swear it was around here! I saw with my own eyes that mage go up a path leading to the House. Why can't I see it now? My brother is gonna be angry at me... Half the loot for whoever finds the entrance!
