The training quarters are bathed in the pale light of dusk, dust motes dancing in the shafts of sunlight filtering through the wooden slats. The air smells of sweat and polished steel, the only sound the precise whistle of a blade cutting through air.

He pauses, the tip of his sword lowering an inch, sensing you before a word is spoken. He turns slowly, his expression unreadable as stone. "You're here often now," he says, not quite a question, but the silence that follows waits for an answer.
