"Fair enough. She sent Rizuin with you?"
He nodded, looking down at the sword. "Yeah. She wasn't going to let me leave unless I brought him with." His thoughts traveled back to her and Aru for a brief moment, wondering if they were all right. "Even after I told her I would be all right, she insisted."

"She must really love you, if she sent him away." Galen murmurs, studying "I've never known Rizuik to leave her side." shrugging lightly, he smirks a bit "Have you popped the question?"

"She must really love you, if she sent him away. I've never known Rizuik to leave her side. Have you popped the question?"
Zay looked at him, expression puzzled before it registered, then he rubbed the back of his neck and glanced away. "N-no, I haven't." His jaw ticked to keep the red from spreading from his ears, though he gave a small laugh. "I'm still getting used to actually having someone around." And I'm sure she's in the same boat, he kept to himself.

"N-no, I haven't. I'm still getting used to actually having someone around."
Laughing at his expression, Galen reaches over and slips the bottle back into it's hiding spot, smile slipping a bit "I'm sure you'll get there. Just, don't ruin it." he murmurs, voice getting quieter

"I'm sure you'll get there. Just, don't ruin it."
Zay studied him closely a moment, his expression gaining a sense of understanding. "I feel as though it's something spoken from experience."

"I feel as though it's something spoken from experience."
Laughing, his tone turns a bit bitter before he shakes his head "It is, somewhat. Though, believe it or not, it's not exactly what you're thinking." he murmurs, looks at his flask, ring glinting on his left hand, small smile when his eyes catch it

"It is, somewhat. Though, believe it or not, it's not exactly what you're thinking."
Catching the expression, Zay nodded and rubbed the back of his neck. "It's none of my business," he said quietly, respectful. "People's lives are their own."

"It's none of my business. People's lives are their own."
"They are." Galen replies, small smile "But, regardless if I tell you or not, you'll most likely hear it later." he murmurs, sighing "Word of advice, you want to keep something a secret, don't tell a soul here."

"They are. But, regardless if I tell you or not, you'll most likely hear it later. Word of advice, you want to keep something a secret, don't tell a soul here."
He shared his smile, waving his hand in dismissal at the thought. "Secret keeping is one of my fortes." His thoughts drifted to the many secrets he held, smile falling a little as he looked away. That's right. He still never told a soul about most, even Avery or Aru. His smile returned, wary. Just how long could he really run from them and shove them into a black box? He had reminders of them daily-- the arm, his back issues, the times when emotionally unstable his ice threatens to take hold. He closed his eyes-- he had no need to worry about them. He had kept them this long, he could keep a hold of them.

"Secret keeping is one of my fortes."
"Well, then we won't have a problem." Galen murmurs, standing, walks around the table, laying a hand on his shoulder "Come, let's find you a tent to stay in. Tomorrow, we begin your training."

Zay nodded and stood, picking up his bow and quiver, though he paused a moment, studying the bow. He frowned a little, seeing the grip having worn further than he liked, and now that he was noticing, it had bothered him. However, he pushed the flaw away and replaced both items where they once were, both sitting on his back, and he followed the commander out.

Leading him out of the tent, Galen turns right then walks down the dirt path, stops at at tent on his left, not far from his own "Here you are."

"Here you are."
Zay paused, looking around to gain his bearings, then looked at the tent, giving a nod. "Thank you, sir." He looked at the commander. "If I may ask, what are the things I need to now for tomorrow?"

"Thank you, sir. If I may ask, what are the things I need to know for tomorrow?"
"You're welcome. And I'm not sure as of yet. You may end up riding with me to the border."

"You're welcome. And I'm not sure as of yet. You may end up riding with me to the border."
Zay nodded again. "I'll be sure to be ready then."
