[color=gray]The day should have went smoothly, as they've always had. The paladins and priests would say their prayers to the light to protect them during the day before eating breakfast, but Aurora struggled to focus. Her mind was set on Isabella as she thought about her new companion. Isabella had seemed to hide something that she clearly didn't wish Aurora to know, and it was disrupting the squire's concentration. Aurora barely touched the breakfast that was presented, but Sir Destrey didn't think much of it, shrugging it off as if his squire was in a fasting mood.

Training came soon, and both paladin and squire picked up their wooden blades and training shields. The art of combat needed full concentration, but like breakfast, Aurora was off in her dreamland. While Destrey was clearly the superior fighter, Aurora left her guard open more than she normally did, which would have surely resulted in some nasty injuries if they were training with real blades forged by a blacksmith. By the tenth exchange of blades, Sir Destrey called off the fight, finally taking in his squire's clouded mind into consideration. Walking through the Cathedral Square, the paladin brought Aurora to a more secluded section of the city, allowing them to look off into the distance and in to the ocean that housed the Stormwind dockyard.[/color]

[color=slateblue][b]"Ah, so you're worried about someone. I am only familiar with the situation from what you told me, Aurora, but remember your training."[/b][/color] [color=gray]The paladin turned to Aurora, placing a hand on her shoulder.[/color] [color=slateblue][b]"Aurora, you have shown your desire to be a paladin. Ask this... [i]Isabella[/i] what seems to be the matter--gently, not too pushy, I should add. You have the heart and training to help. I believe Isabella would be certainly welcoming once she understands your worries."[/b][/color] [color=gray]Sir Destrey explained, to which Aurora had nodded and thanked her mentor. His guidance was hopeful, and Aurora was appreciative. Remembering that Isabella loved books just as she did, Aurora made a mental note to be at the library. The squire wanted to help Isabella, but she needed a place hardly disruptive and calming to the both of them.[/color]
