"Tired? When I am mentally tired, I train. Once the body starts aching is when you get real good sleep! Suit yourself." Rozafa said. Then the other girl claimed she wanted to finish a book. "Well, I hope you take up the offer later on." She replied to the girl. Roza then bid farewell and headed with her entourage to the garden. On the way, Roza said to the guys: "Gee, I guess some just don't want to be fit for self-defense. I guess it is just the outlanders way. In case of war, they might find their head on a stake in the scenario of defeat. If they were ever to become protectorates of our lands, then their men will quickly find not just their sons but also their daughters drafted for basic military training. Speaking of women, where is Dheva? Didn't she want to come along?"

"Well, Dheva said she would come separately. You know her. She wont have problems travelling alone. She might show up shortly before the ball starts." One guy said. Roza then replied: "She better. And I expect her in her good attire. I don't want her wandering around the ball in blood splattered plate armor."

They finally got to the garden and spotted an open area to spar. Upon impact of the hammer, it cracked the stone ground a bit. "Oops. Better be more careful with that here." Roza said.
