Roy shuffles uncomfortably, not noticing Toya peeking around the corner of the carriage, with an inquisitive look, awaiting Roy's reply.

"Uh, yes. She's my girlfriend."
Roy replies.

Toya grabs the last of her baggage, and walks to beside Roy.
"Let's go, lover-boy"
She says

Roy then tells Tal
"We need to get going, I'll see you around, and have a good day yourself"

Isola

Tal is left with a dejected look.

Another one.

She kneels down and sobs openly. Not because of Roy's rejection alone, but for the fact that she has had no luck with love or any other romantic pursuits. It is a cruel fate for someone so willing to love and care, and she knows it. A life of ordeals and perseverance, and nothing to show for it. She knows that she will eventually have to go home, and when she does, nothing pleasant will be waiting for her. A broken product of a broken home.

Later that night, she ends her suffering once and for all with a decisive tug upon taut rope.

And Roy knew it, and he felt it.

Training Grounds

Upon making contact with Declan Caed grabs his armor and ridgehands him in the nose with his other hand.

Caed then lets go and hops back.

Training Grounds

Callaghan wipes the blood from his nose.

He resumes his stance, preparing to counter.

Training Grounds

"You waiting on me? Tisk tisk"

Caed charges in

"You forget, I am faster then you"

The soldiers watch with quiet fascination especially one.

Streets of Saxum 4 years prior.

Tomas looks around the bustling street and pulls out his cup for two reasons, so it will fill with rain so he can drink and so that maybe someone will have pity and give him a little bit of money for food.

The citizens of Saxum walk past the young child with cold faces, and unwavering attention to themselves. They try and ignore Tomas purposefully, as to not draw attention to themselves.

Just one stranger, one kind soul is needed to break the barrier between apathy and care. Many pass, but no one will help.

Eventually, a lone city guard wanders upon the beggar boy.

"You, boy. Leave this place! Don't you know that begging is punishable by loss of limb?"

Tomas looks up at the guard and entirely masking his sadness and slight anger(which has been fading for years as he has experienced first hand the cruelty that man is capable of between the beatings and the mockery of passerby's.) He thinks for just a second about how at least this one didn't just kick him and then yell at him like the others have. At this thought he politely smiles and says:

"Sorry sir, I was just trying to get a little money for food. It won't happen again"

The guard stares at the boy as he stares back. He walks closer and stands over the boy.

He stands there, looking at the boy with a most filthy look.
He snatches a cup from the boys hand. After sloshing it around, he downs the little rainwater collected in it. He promptly spits it out.
"You said you were going to leave. Now leave. It's fortunate I didn't cut your arm off."

Tomas remains smiling

"Thanks you for your leniency sir, but that is my only cup can I have it back?"

The guard tosses the cup back at Tomas

He plays with the leather sheath of his sword. He pops the handle of the sword in and out of position with his thumb, making a monotonous clicking sound.

"I won't forget this. I better not see you around here again, boy"
