Thread: Whose side to choose? (Kay & Askeladd)

Nicole Anjou The morning felt relatively peaceful in spite of the state of recent events. War had been declared yet the morning for the female knights had been relatively normal. The schedule hadn't changed much, they were still training at the same time, their morning still started off with helping each other don their armor and comb out their hair. There was a constant aura of nonchalance in the female barracks. It wasn't that these knight didn't want to be taken seriously it's that they knew they weren't going to be. Of course they were training hard when they could, and they had even extended their training times by a few hours a day, the so called 'just in case training,' where a couple male knights come over to, as they put it, 'show them how it's done.' Nicole buckled the last few straps on her armor, making sure it was secured to her body, the last thing she needed was a wardrobe malfunction during training. Even though this was just training if her armor happened to slip at the wrong moment she could be hurt or possibly even killed. She strapped her sword in at her waist, it was what most people would consider a short sword, but it was sharp with a slight curvature to the blade and a weight at the end on the back of the blade. It was specifically designed for quick accurate chops that were capable of severing limbs, perfectly balanced and decorated in the colors of her family, as was the rest of her equipment. She didn't carry a shield, as she was thin and slightly shorter than the average female knight. She was a knight who relied on agility her armor covering only strategic places on her body. Nicole Anjou was born the eldest child of a noble. Her father Nicolas Anjou had managed to disgrace himself in battle fifteen years prior and since then his house had lost money and more importantly honor, in the eyes of the nobility. Seeing no future in her home Nicole sought out in the only way she could to regain her family's honor. She picked up her fathers sword, and had her own armor made in the style her family has used for generations and joined the war. After her morning rituals were finally complete she made her way to the training field. Several early birds has already began to congregate. Something was different this morning usually training in the morning was done without much talking, as the women had enough discipline to get it all out before they came to the field. However, on this day everyone seemed to be whispering and laughing and talking about all sorts of things. Nicole though something interesting must be going on, somebody better fill me in. She walked in maneuvering around some of the people she wasn't too fond of in search of those she'd become friends with. Hey Cecile! She called with a wave of her hand, before quickly walking up to her much larger friend. What's going on? She asked as the curiosity was just annoying as far as she was concerned. Cecile looked down at her Well... from what I understand.. they are sending that wolf demon knight to come train and live with us. Nicole rolled that idea around in her head for a moment not really understanding what the big deal was, she could definitely already draw the direct line as to why he'd be going to their division. Where will he sleep? He is a male right? Nicole asked innocently of her friend. Who cares!? Cecile exclaimed, None of us even want him around, let alone in our home!
