Kire was about to answer Envy when he interrupted, and she realized he was listening in on Ysaryn and Ruli. As much as she knew it was intrusive, Kire itched to know what it was. She frowned as Ruli entered and Envy teased him. “You mean, women actually find him charming?” she asked, shaking her head. She wanted to demand more details, but seeing them return to practicing, Kire sighed and turned away. She’d find out later, anyway. 

She disappeared, later appearing with her armor in tow, setting it aside for later. Needing to keep herself occupied, she went about whatever tasks needed doing for the refugees, preparing firewood and replenishing their stores, coming back by evening. After another quick meal, she went off again to run drills by herself, partly hoping too that sword practice would mean she’d at least sleep earlier, rather than stew in her thoughts all night. She went back into the caverns after cleaning herself up, wondering how Rulitus’s practice had fared.
