Arturo listened intently as Nyla explained her reasoning for taking up combat training, she wanted to protect herself. She had every reason too, danger lurked around everywhere, you had to learn how to defend oneself no matter who the enemy is. Family or enemy. Her sword was decorated quite fitting for her, beautiful and deadly. Arturo's own hilt was thick oak woods, burned with an ingrained designed of roots, a band of steel wrapped around and crested was a bears head with amber eyes. Arturo's name roughly translated was 'Bear' which did really represent who he was, strong and loyal to those around him. Soon he would be bound to protect Nyla even though she could take care of herself by the sounds of it.
" Perhaps we could train together? I'm sure I could show you some moves that you may not know and I'm sure you could show me some things too" he suggested turning as she did so.
It didn't take long before she asked about his opinion of the truce and in fact how long it had been set. He thought back to when he was first told about his planned marriage. " Well recently, I'm talking the past five years I have wanted to find my own bride. This was before the building on our land started, I wished to find someone who I can love and protect.
Per our own customs the matching of wives to husbands is put down to the fates. It's a pull you see, a burning attraction from the moment you see the person. Sometimes it takes years for it to click, even people who hated each other were drawn to each other. Sometimes it doesn't happen, then other times it's so painful to be apart from that person it feels like dying so I'm told.
I've known about our impending marriage since I was very small, small enough to understand the truce. It's been written for years. I'm not sure of the details and how it started. I think I was put down because I am the first born and more than likely to rule after my father passes over. With your kingdom being the closest and more likely as not liable to attack or start a fued between us it was planned to marry the first daughter." Arturo spoke trying to remember as best he could.
"It's very complicated, you are free to read over it in full if you wish when we are there. It is a bit boring to be honest, so many clauses and actions. I would much rather read something else, take myself away a little. That's why I excersise it gets me out, as well as painting is always good to, you can create something that's just for your eyes" he explained as the pair slowed down to a door.
