Danterus pondered slightly over the comment Pandora made concerning his wounds, and that happened to be the second time he heard her mention such a subject, so what did that make her? She might be a doctor or even just some medicine woman that was used to helping around her neighborhood. Whatever the case she did have a point about the bruises, and the older ones were beginning to impeded his movements from the stress they endured with each strike or parry. Maybe after lunch he could ask for the aforementioned help, and besides that she was not an altogether unpleasant individual in several regards.

“Actually, I think I’d quite forgotten it was that time. Lunch sounds nice; I’m sure there’s still something down in the kitchens.” Her stream of words was broken by her bewildered reaction to his formality, and she blinked slowly, unable to keep herself from laughing, not derisively but rather with genuine amusement. “You know… I’m not sure anyone’s actually bowed to me before. For future reference, I’m really okay with handshakes.”

A broad smile spread across his face at the lyrical quality of her laughter and her apparent unfamiliarity to his formality, a rather subconscious trait embedded in his personality after years of parties and balls to which his father and him had been invited. His left hand reached out towards their side as he invited her to walk with him towards the awaiting kitchens. “Please, after you Pandora. Sorry for prim and proper manner, but it’s just something with which I have become accustomed throughout the years. I will try and remember the handshake bit though.” The pair proceeded down the hallway until reaching the door leading to the stairwell, and upon approaching this barrier Danterus made a long-reach to open the door before his companion came walking within the door’s opening path.

As they passed through the door and proceeded downwards towards the ground floor the young smith picked up their conversation once again. “So might I inquire as to how you became so entangled in this mess? It just seems that you are slightly out of place in comparison to the assassins, their apprentices, and the nobility involved with this conspiracy. Apologies if this is a rather blunt question, but I was just hoping to learn a bit more about whom it is I shall be working with in the time to come.” Luckily the training room Danterus had been using was only two stories above the ground floor, and using the western stairwell expedited their journey to the kitchen, whose entrance was opposite that of the stairwell’s.

Once again Danterus repeated the process of opening the door for Pandora, a habit he had learned quite early in his post-adoption life with Garbiel, and as soon as he did the aroma of fresh bread, roasting meat, and stewed vegetables wafted towards his nose. These unexpected stimuli forced a tremendous growl to sound forth from his stomach, and a rather embarrassed look was covered up with his right hand as several of the cooks turned to look with incredulity to discover at what could have made the sound. The kitchen-head strode towards them confidently to inform them of their choices.

“Always some stragglers comin’ in after the usual time. Not to worry though we always have extras lyin’ about in case somebody drags up after the hour. We got some roast mutton on the spit off ta yer left along with a few loaves of rye ‘n vegetable soup. Come on hurry up now we got business to take care of kids.”

The man then proceeded to herd them off quickly towards the food with his right hand while his left signalled several serving boys to hurry up and prepare a plate for the duo. By the time the plates had been handed to them the kitchen-head had already taken rushed them off towards the dining hall on the kitchen’s east side while barking orders to cooks and servants alike. All of a sudden they were hustled through the door and could feel the whoosh of air as it was summarily slammed behind them. It took a second for Danterus to overcome the dizziness of what just happened and speak to Pandora.

“Uhm… I guess we should have a seat?”
