Still, there were other things to do.

Jaffa hosted a chapter house for the Knights Templar. You might visit upon the Poor Fellow-Soldiers of Christ. You had spent time with the Templars in Sidon and well enjoyed their company. You could well use some spiritual guidance at this moment.

There was also a training yard that saw the soldiers of Jaffa practice their drills. Jumping in with them and working out travel worn muscles might provide some physical relief and martial distraction.

Or you could just wander alone for a while and see what Christ set upon your path.

God wills it

The clack and crack of wood against wood punctuated by grunts and bellows reaches your ears before you enter the training yard. Men in the livery of Jaffa square off in the square yard, spears in hand, crossing shafts and jostling to strike one another. Count Hugh keeps a well seasoned body of troops, only a few were currently in the yard.

One watched the two men exchange lances. He seemed familiar to you, his hair a rusty red, his limbs long. Young but not a youth, he had a nasal bar helm upon his lap, a long kite shield at his side, and was in the effort of growing a ginger beard, which was coming up in curls.

He saw you enter and gave you a hail. The two soldiers paused in their practice to also acknowledge you.

You go to stand with the lanky man, and the sparring resumes.

"From Ramla?" he asked. You nodded. "I am Odo, my father serves out that way."

And that's how you knew him. That is to say you did not know him, but knew the father. He was Tancred's eldest son.

Odo has a leather canteen which he drinks from, and then offers it to you.

He is not as well built as his father, but they have the same down turned eyes and taciturn expression. And they shared a grin, which Odo gave when one of the soldiers scored a killing mark on the other. It was a doggish expression of flashed teeth.

The young soldier stood up from the crate he had been sitting on. He shared his father's remarkable height, long legged, long armed.

He offered you the floor as he took up a fine spear.

"A bout or two?" he offered.

There was spare equipment propped neatly upon the wall. The two combatants were stripping off sweaty gambesons and sharing groans of exhaustion. Men who are accustomed to fighting one another in the practice ring were often quick to share a joke, which the two did while comparing notes on one another's performance. Grudges held from practice yard sparring were the marks of a weak character, better to learn from defeat than hold onto bitterness.

You rolled your shoulders, stretched out.

Odo again flashed teeth as he took up a second spear and threw it your way. You caught it, flourished it a little and grinned back.

There was something very comforting in the martial yard, having a spear in hand, facing a similar minded opponent. A synchronization of thought and body. All the nonsense of social niceties and shit drops away. All the worries, the anxiety about the future, the mundane. It disappears when your mind must concentrate on one thing, keeping to your feet, keeping your weapon in hand, and focusing on survival.

The two of you began on opposite sides of the yard, the two soldiers that had formerly occupied it hunkering down on the sidelines to watch. They muttered to each other, one giving off a barked laugh. The same drill yard conversation heard from France to Cathay.

You looked up at Odo. He had height, reach and muscle on you. This was nothing strange. You were used to facing larger opponents.

He saluted you, you saluted back. A raise of the spear before your face and then a slight bow. The warrior sign of respect. Then you fell back, stance wide, spear point leveled. He did the same.

Most of your spear work had been done on horseback til now. This would be an education in proper foot combat.

Hey HF, before the break, would you do an omake thread of like, what certain characters were doing when "X" was happening, like Mathilde's thoughts and actions when Hugo got super drunk on Christmas, or a preview of our opposition in Ascalon?

The two of you square off. Neither of you are in a rush to score a hit on the other, instead you pace carefully, cross-stepping aside, circling one another. Odo had his spear low, you had yours high. Carefully watching, tracking one another's movements. Not watching the weapon, but more watching the shift of shoulder and neck for the small hints of gathering action.

Finally it happens. Odo lunges forth, bring his spear up. You react, lancing out from high.

There is a general rule that a high blow will out reach a low one. You strike Odo upon the head, ringing his helm, but his point finds your padded belly. If it had been a fight to the death, you would have speared the man through the face and killed him instantly, taking no great wound yourself. But this was not a fight to the death. All your blow wrought was a chuckle from Odo. The man reassessed, falling back into the wide low stance, point kept level.

The two of you paced again, waiting. Odo was not a fighter of pure aggression. He watched, he waited, he sent forth a probing feint that drew only slight reaction from you. But then he gathered for a thrust, knocked to displace your point. Instead you swept your point forward, again ringing his helm and sending the man stumbling back. He cursed himself for being caught, took a deep breath and instead launched a quick succession of strikes, hoping t outreach and over power you.

Each blow you knocked aside, one, two, and then when he went for a thrust you knocked his point aside and brought the haft of your spear up close, knocking him once again in the helm but with force enough you knocked him to a knee.

The man shook out his head, looked up at you and flashed a grin. You helped him up.

Another salute was exchanged. Odo drew off his helm and gave a puff of breath.

"Not bad Ramlan," he said, "You had me dancing to your tune."

"My thanks to you," you replied, "I well needed some distraction."

Odo looked to his fellows and called them over. "This is Luke and Roger," he said, "Soldiers in Hugh's company. We've a plan to get a drink later. You're welcome to join us."

"Odo merely wishes to predate upon the serving maid at Hobb's tavern," Roger said, "Dangerosa, she's a wonder of Jaffa, yet this big thug thinks he can win her affection with silent stares from across the room."

Odo turned red and gave Roger a snarl. "Mocked by you?" he said, "All the girls of Jerusalem know you to be a floppy fish."

Luke just laughed as his friends bickered. "It should be fun, if nothing else we'll stand you a drink. Few can put Odo in his place the way you did just now," Luke said, putting forth a hand.

Guys, I have a plan: As Wilhelm, we go out hunting for a bit, looking for some leopards, and see if we can try to find a cub. Then, we capture the cub, then bring it back home and gift it to Mathilde, telling her that if she wants to continue practicing the martial arts, she'll tame that leopard cub.

>>41104398
Not unless Wilhelm dies


Wouldnt mind Hugo learning to fight with a Scimitar though

>>41104510
That seems arbitary and pointless. Besides if she wish to continue sword training she can do so in secret with Hugo

>>41104518
Pretty sure that would only require Hugo to ask Sabeen nicely if she could teach him

>>41104518
A reverse-blade scimitar!

>>41104510
>Leopard
>Not lion
>Not having a semi tame lion hanging around your throne room

>>41104535

>>41104566
Well, Lions are really far away from Ramla, and Leopards are closer.

>>41104510
wat
Just let her read and she'll tussle with Sabeen if she must

You shake your head. "Thank you for the offer, but I'm in no mood for drink. There's much on my mind that needs sorting."

They look displeased by that. Roger let out a sound of a disappointment while Odo frowned much like his father. Luke shook his head. "Well you know yourself, but for my money a night of revelry is better for the spirit than a year in a holy cloister."

"Luke should know, he was expelled from one out Bethany way," Roger put an arm around his companion's shoulder.

Odo threw up his hands. "If you change your mind swing by the Saracen's Hands," he said, "We'll be there 'til late."

You are glad they are not completely offended by your refusal but they leave with clear disappointment. They walk away boasting and trading secret jokes, a camaraderie that left you with a small pang of jealousy. You had friends, but all so distant in Ramla. Seeing the three soldiers depart in jocular company made you sore miss them. Quarrelsome Jacques, Solomon with his ready laughter, and Maggie with her ready jests. You had not been able to spend as much time with Solomon, so busy as he with wife and duty, but you wished time could be made.

But here you were in Jaffa, while the were days away in Ramla. It put a loneliness in you that covered your shoulders like a shawl.

You lock your hands behind your head and wander away, the sound of the men departing slowly fading. Wandering through half-empty halls with nought but your own soft whistling for company.

There was much to think upon. Few of it putting you in good spirits. Least of all the affair with Sabeen, you thought on the dead boy and his weeping parents, and thought further ahead to Ascalon. How much weeping would that bring, along with glory to your brother's name? It could all become ash just as easily, and even in victory it would come at a cost.

>>41104609
But that's not as cool sounding. Besides, rather than allowing her to do so, it's a sink-or-swim thing that could teach her responsibility and consequences.

You stopped to consider a matronly woman fussing with a child. Servants of the keep. If these place were taken, what would become of them? Put to the sword, or raped, or pressed into slavery. Was it justice that such a fate should befall the peasant folk of Ascalon, because they had the poor luck to be born that side of Jerusalem's borders?

This you pondered in your wandering. And other such thoughts that quick turned black and left you unsettled. Perhaps being alone with your thoughts was a mistake. The more your thoughts turned to the future the more it seemed bleak, and the more your world seemed to empty of other life, until you walked truly alone down the back ways of the castle.

Mathilde training a leopard is not something I'd recommend. Leopards are extremely dangerous. That's beyond a sink-or-swim task, that's a 'she dies if she slips up' task.

I think its an exceedingly bad idea.

He's more likely ready, except he only knows squiring and soldiering.

You turned a corner.

A sound came to your ears. It seemed familiar, and only as you stepped forth did you realize what it was.

A woman's pleasure moans.

They were standing together. Her skirts were hitched high and his hose were dropped. She had her hands placed upon the stone of the wall for support while he gripped her by the waist and thighs. She was clearly taken by the throws of passion, mouth open and quivering and giving wordless sounds, punctuated by his grunting and the slap of his meat upon her pale thighs.

Sir Barisan, the Lady Aines.

"You wicked slut," the knight said.

"Your wicked slut," she managed to reply with a wicked smile before the moans took her words away and the pleasure seized her body.

You froze. Lady Aines pleasure washed away as her face turned and she saw you. Shock took over her features as she pulled away from Sir Barisan, leaving him standing wet and exposed.

"Hell on earth!" the knight said, scrambling to put himself away. He reached for the hilt of his blade. Aines' eyes were wide and her face turned pale.

He stepped forward. "You skulking pervert," he said, baring an inch of steel.

"Sir, on my life-!" you put up your hands but his blade comes bare. You feel the steel upon your throat. Cold, so very cold.

A match for Sir Barisan's eyes.

"Barisan!" Aines protested.

He looked back to her.

"It's my life if the boy speaks," he said. Then he looked back to you.

He drew back his sword to cut.

"Hold!" a voice from down the corridor. A voice you well knew.

All turned to watch Sabeen approach. She came in maile with spear in hand, her saddle across one shoulder. She walked a heavy tread and her eyes were cast with ill-temper.

Her gaze swept from you to Barisan to Aines. The knight's knuckles went white upon the hilt of his sword.

"What is this," she asked, "That you hold my friend to steel bared?"

Aines came forward. "A misunderstanding," she said. Aines and Sabeen were friends, she reached for that friendship like a lifeline.

Sabeen looked to you. "What exactly is being misunderstood?" she asked. Voice taut like bowstring drawn.

"In the dark they thought me a thief," you said, gesturing to the gloom, "It's well away from the run of the keep. Sir Barisan reacted swift in defense of Lady Aines."

Aines nodded. "It is as he said. I feared so terribly when we stumbled upon him that gallant Sir Barisan took quick action. Thank the lord for your arrival Sabeen, you've prevented a tragedy."

Sabeen kept her eyes on you, hooded eyes that saw your lie, but she gave a nod.

"Well if that is all that it is," she said, "Hugo and I have business to discuss. Good evening." She cut the knight and lady a half bow, gestured for you to follow. You did so, looking back to see Barisan's gritted teeth. The man would not soon forget and you doubt would drop this matter so quickly. A man that fears for his life could do any manner of stupid things to preserve it.

But for now you walked with Sabeen back the way you came.

"Thanks," you said.

"For what?" she replied, "It was a simple misunderstanding." Her long stride carried her forward, a half step longer than yours. She kept ahead of you. You looked to her saddlebags.

"Are you leaving?" you asked.

"No," her answer was curt. A word punched. She did not talk further until you reached Sir Orlando's chambers. There outside the door she put down her saddle bags, leaned her spear against the wall. And glared a while into empty space, arms crossed, boot tapping as some dark thought rolled around her head.

One way to cover our ass is to write a letter explaining what happened, give it to Sabeen and tell her to ride to Wilhelm if anything happens to Hugo

>>41105652
But what would that get us besides our Count's sister caught in a scandal?

>>41105796
Her father actually said it eas her choice.

And spear + saddle bags? Until she ran into us, she was probably ready to leave with us.

>>41105641

Aks her, we should not leave her like this

>>41105848
Until we lied because DRAMA.

>>41105848

>>41105848
She said she'd answer us on the morrow.

>>41105872
And she's probably thinking Hugo less of a man for not telling the truth like he has in the past.

Hey, she's still a viable asset to Count Hugh so long as she's not known as a slut.

>>41106002
Whether she remains a "viable asset" is up to the good Count to decide. Such blatant display of infidelity and sin should be made known, and I'm sure Hugh will offer protection.

If viewed from a pragmatic angle, it helps foster relations between Wilhelm and Hugh, as his squire is willing to risk his neck to report on a serious trust issue to Hugh without expecting reward.

>>41106019

I wish anon would stop trying to turn Mathilde into an anime loli brat and just play her like a well behaved medieval girl

"What's wrong?" you asked, a hand to her arm. You had a guess.

"My father...he cast me out," she said. A smile started to play out on her face, but it was not a happy one. "He said that if I wished to leave, that I can make my own life. He called me a disobedient, unnatural girl."

That didn't sound like the Malik you knew, but how well did you know him.

The smile twisted into something worse. You saw her throat contract, eyes glisten. "We said many cruel things to each other."

You did not think your offer would result in such a thing.

"This is my fault," you said.

Sabeen shook her head. "No, not at all. It is my fault. For being what I am. Whatever this is." She took a swallow. "I thought my father loved it about me. That I was honouring him."

You stood and watched, thought of what to say.

Hugh will give Hugo a fuckin' fever on his way back to Ramla.

>>41106087

There is no evidence. Barisan and Aines will just call Hugo a liar and Hugo will end up being forced to apologise to Aines for tarnissing her honour for such slander and it might end up ruining Wilhelm's and Hugh's relationship

Does anyone feel like whenever we assume a role of a character they turn into a bitch?

The line of work for mercenaries is dangerous, and ill-suited for a woman. Your father is protective, as is natural, and worries about your safety. However, you cannot stay under his roof forever, and must one day learn to establish yourself.

He may not approve of your actions seemingly done on a whim, but you might obtain his approval if you do it right. Follow your heart, and do not doubt, follow me if you wish, I won't hold you back.

>>41106262
We are not telling Hugh. Nothing good will come of it.

Kissing the girl is not the answer. That's not how you help a girl deal with her daddy issues, that's exploiting them for a lay.

Jesus guys just give HF a prompt and let him do his thing

>>41106262

Stop cramping people's originality. Also, those speeches are way better than telling her we love her or kissing her, as that doesn't really do anything except make it weird, and possibly anger her.

I know Hugo has no interest in Aines. It's about seeing such forbidden affairs taking place, and ignoring it outright. It happens right under Hugh's nose. If he has no problem with it, then it's all chill, but seeing such disgusting scum fucking like horndogs in private is just....damn. I really can't express it any way right now other than disgusting.

Hugo's a moralfag, surely he sees the inherent wrongness and vile sin in this, won't he? Let Hugh decide how to handle this matter, but we shall simply inform him on the matter, not actively try to find charges to acquit Aines and Barisan.

I don't fucking know man, Hugo obviously has a better moral compass than Wil, but he is in no way pious and in no way pure. Fuck, he doesn't even hate the saracens that much seeing his relationship with the pretty lancer and Saeen

>>41106615
The templar's sister is a good match though... And you dont marry into the templars.

You looked the direction she was looking.

"We're warriors," you said, "That's what God made us to be. Sir Malik doesn't understand that. You're his daughter. That's how he sees you. So when you go to war its different than if it was one of his lancers or a son. He's not seeing a soldier, he's seeing his little girl. And he's not seeing a soldier making a choice of where she will fight, he's seeing his daughter chose another man over him."

You shift uncomfortably from foot to foot.

Where you speaking a load of rubbish? You meant your words. But who were you to speak?

"A warrior has to choose where they stand. Who they fight for. Nobody else can decide that for them. It's not your fault your father can't see you for who you really are. A warrior, same as him."

She didn't say anything back right away.

"We are warriors," she said. Her voice was stronger than before. "And I've made my choice."

And then, with both of you just looking at the wall in front of you standing next to each other, you felt her hand slide into yours.

"Thank you Hugo," she said, and she gave your hand a light squeeze. You took a small glance and saw she was smiling. You suddenly became comfortably warm.

When Orlando came down the hall he was in company with much laughter. A throng of nobles and knights, with some ladies of the court, came with Orlando as the centre of their attention Sabeen's hand was back to her side in a flash. Your scarred master wiped tears of mirth from his eyes, leaned on the shoulder of Count Hugh's man.

"You are a tongue to watch Sir Bertram," he said, patting the man. He near staggered to the ground upon his release. He was quite drunk. He blinked. "Ah! Lady Sabeen, good to see you." Then he turned and vomited upon the door to his room. It caused a titter in the company he kept. You thought perhaps they followed him more for the fun of his self-embarrassment than out of affection, and that rankled your innards.

Orlando raised a hand before his eyes, wobbly even on the ground. Whether vicious or well meant, he enjoyed the attention.

Count Hugh was with them, smiling for the buffoonery. He saw you and rubbed his nose, giving you a wink. Empathy for your situation with Orlando.

Why not both? Ask for a 'private' meeting with Hugh, under pretense that it is over a matter with Wilhelm. Both sides get happy, we deal with none of the fallout. Just make sure to mention Barisan threatening us, so don't jump on them too soon or it'll be obvious we let our tongue loose.

>>41106739
Maybe CHA? He's good on INT, just not the rest.

>>41106705

What?
his entire argument was based on the fact that Hugo was pure and disgusted by the acts that he witnessed. We just pointed out that he is not pure at all.
