Rezkin had heard Tam moving around the room. The young man could not move quietly to save his life. The warrior had only been asleep for a couple of hours and knew he would not be able to sleep much longer despite having stayed up all night. The sunlight was streaming in the window and people where moving about outside. Finally, he could stand it no longer. He dressed quickly in a dark blue shirt and grey pants. He strapped on his swords and secreted away his daggers but left his armor behind. When he entered the common room, Frisha and Tam were just finishing their breakfast.

The young warrior took a seat at the table with his friends, but the mood was somber. “What is wrong?” he asked. “Is something amiss?”

Frisha worried her lip anxiously and glanced at Tam. Tam nodded once and then said, “I’ll just be up in the room.”

Rezkin cocked his head as he watched the young man leave. “Is he upset?” he inquired.

“Yes, a bit,” Frisha answered honestly.

“Did I fail in some way?” Rezkin asked. He did not think he had dishonored Tam in anyway, but maybe his friend was upset that Rezkin had not been in the room last night. Had Tam been concerned?

“No, not at all. He’s actually upset with me,” Frisha replied.

Rezkin did not ask why Tam was upset with Frisha. It was none of his business, and he really did not wish to get involved in a dispute between his friends. What if they asked him to choose a side? He could not honor one without dishonoring the other.

“Rezkin, may I speak with you for a moment?” Frisha asked anxiously.

Were they not already speaking? “Of course,” he replied.

“When…when we’re in Kaibain,” she started, “it’s just…I don’t want you to go. I want to be with you.”

Rezkin nodded. “Then you can come with me,” he replied.

Frisha’s eyes widened. “Come with you?”

He nodded once again. “To the tournament,” he said.

“You…you would like me to go with you?” Frisha asked in pleasant surprise.

“I want you to always be with me,” he stated with resolve. It was so much easier to protect her when she was with him. He had been fretting over how to do so when he would be so far away. If she came with him, it would solve his dilemma.

“You do?” she beamed excitedly.

“Yes, of course,” he said. “That is, unless you marry one of those nobles. I cannot see taking you with me after that.”

Frisha was tearing up now, “Oh, Rez, I don’t want to marry a noble.”

“Good, then it is settled. You will come with me,” Rezkin stated with finality and gave her his best smile.

Frisha swooned in happiness.

After finishing his late breakfast, Rezkin took Tam and Frisha into the courtyard where he started Frisha’s training with throwing knives and continued Tam’s sword lessons. After breaking for the midday meal, Frisha and Tam needed to go to the market for supplies. On the way out of the inn, they encountered Reaylin who made an extra effort to step into their path, effectively bringing them to a halt.
