"She's a knight too." Jaahlyn vaguely remembered Siana calling herself when she tried to recall more details. "And do you? Since I was going to ask about your relationship to her."
So Siana seemed pretty old-fashioned when it came to relationships and so did this man. Did that mean they had similar marriage aspirations as her own people back in the day? In that case they were probably cousins...
"That would point to Gildgreen." Arne confirms, nodding to himself. "Remarkable woman. A better hand with a blade than most could ever hope to be. To this day, I've never sparred with her and emerged the victor." The knight chuckles fondly and shakes his head. "She had a stubborn streak wide enough to drive a horse and buggy, though. It made it rather difficult for her to take orders. She always seemed to have something to prove, though I never quite understood what. If not for the times we lived in, she likely would have been dismissed. Instead, they made her a captain. I suppose Lord Alun decided that, if she wasn't going to take orders, and they couldn't afford to waste her talents, it would be better that she gave them."
Arne lets out a morose sigh and shakes his head. "...I haven't seen her in a few years." He continues. "The last I heard from her, they were moving on Hallower's Rest to try and reclaim the city from a demon that had taken up residence there. I took the lack of news since then to mean that she and her soldiers were unsuccessful. If she ended up here instead, that would be... quite a relief."
Arne straightens. "...But enough about that. How is it that you know her?"
