The walk to the sparring circles was quick and thankfully quiet. Ferret still looked embarrassed from her talk to Medic. I was a lot more than pleased to let her stay like that if it meant quiet.
"Is something very wrong? " Asked Bench whenever we reached the sparring circles.
"Nothing. " Ferret said a little too quickly.
"How has your brand-new friend been performing? " That he said, demonstrably ignoring Ferret's suspicious denial.
"She did well with her running and Instructor Meric made a decision to put her in the accelerated archery training. "
Bench looked over me, he previously a sad look on his face. "That is fairly regrettable. Meric's concept of accelerated training is making the victims stay for one hour roughly longer than normal. You have my condolences. " Then laughed.
