<span class="mu-i">“If… if it please… milord…”</span> The boy gulps for air in between each handful of words. <span class="mu-i">“We… could call it…. a draw.”</span>
>Your squire gains the RESILIENT trait.
> Able to withstand a surprising level of physical punishment, your squire will not easily be put down and, if put down, will not easily stay down for long.
>Your squire gains the HAUGHTY conversation trait.
>Like teacher like pupil. His deep, stubborn pride in his position as squire to the greatest knight in the world is reflected in both his service to you and his interaction with others.
<span class="mu-i">The kid has heart, I’ll grant him that. </span> You think to yourself as you signal for the next round to begin. <span class="mu-i"> Almighty willing… we will make a knight of you yet, boy.</span>
You close the distance mercilessly, sweat dripping down your back. At the last gasp, all that your squire can offer is an exhausted swing, so slow that you can quite literally walk under it and gently shove your opponent with your shield. Barely a shove, a nudge really, and your squire teeters backwards on exhausted legs and lands flat on his back.
<span class="mu-i">“Orin, help him up and get him out of armour. Water first, then see Sister Ignatius about some salves for the bruises.”</span> You can hazard a guess that there will be a fair few. <span class="mu-i">“…I’ll give you tomorrow and Sandag to recover. We resume on Monegan.”</span>
You look up at the afternoon sun, not a little bit short of breath yourself, and find your stomach growling. The extended sparring lesson has ploughed straight through lunch, though thankfully Orin has set aside a serving for you and Mikail on the deck. It’s cold now, but you’re hungry enough for that not to discourage you and look around ship for your usual mealtime companion.
=================================================================
> With Brother Rousseau being the only other Cantônian man of noble blood present, you’ve naturally spent a lot of time in his company. Jess the Kid is typically present as well and, while neither of them offer much in the way of direct conversation, they are admittedly excellent listeners. [Haughty]
> As an outgoing and adventurous sort yourself, you find the Captain Alfonso Verdicci to be an intriguing individual. While it’s hard to tell if you’ve genuinely befriended the man, he seems as interested in your exploits on the continent as you are in his adventures on the seas. [Hearty]
>You have spent much time in the company of your confessor Father Towbray, not only in prayer and meditation but also socially. He has an unfair advantage in theological debate, backed by typically hardline Reclaimant views, but he has proven a great reassurance with the Angel’s visitations weighing upon you. [Idealist]
