SAROYA I have been neglecting my fighting training so when I wake up today, it is the first thing I do. There is a small cleared area only some distance away from my house and under the cover of darkness, I head towards the place. Linelli escorted me to the blacksmith’s where I got a new dagger after our practice. While I was at it, I had him start forging Edin a new sword that I intend to surprise him with. Why I did it when I am trying to shut down any kind of feelings I might have for him, I have no idea. I arrive at the field, relieved to find that I am alone here so I put down my cloak and begin my stretches. My bones c***k and my body relaxes fully and I groan, making a note to self not to neglect my practices for this long again. When I am done stretching, I get into my stance
