[Centre][h2][color=f7941d]Camp Explorer Guards n girlfriends Daphne and Coswain[/color][/h2][/centre] Daphne was rather quickly becoming used to this as Katherine leant into her side and the taller squire pulled her arm and cloak about them to keep warm in the wind chill. It was not too bad but it was nice to be snug anyways. Granted in court this would be all manner of Gossip and drama, but the endless night, Dawn haven who cared. Daphne just smiled and replied. [color=ec008c]“I'm pretty sure Sya packed me some nice tea, I can always reward you later.”[/color] She said playfully and nodded along about being happier out here. Life was definitely harder and more dangerous but there were far less distractions and dramas too. No run away men claiming to be royalty, Ayel or murderers to investigate. Daphne was starting to daze a little from the heat of the fire in contrast to the cold of her patrol on the outer edge. The reaction caused her senses to be temporarily blunted from their near constant high alert she had to maintain. It was pretty mentally tiring keeping up in [color=ec008c]this place. “They found one more thing for me to guard?”[/color] Daphne asked with a similar level of sarcasm, the guards had to protect the camp, the horses and carts, their supplies, and run escorts. Nothing much. Daphne however lifted her head seeing Eris approach, a sparkle of the fire reflecting in her Purple eyes tinged with an amber almost gold tone. Agh, the sage who had been talking to Nathaniel, the one who was at the Eye of the Beholder and she had seen the two working together regularly. [color=ec008c]“Hello Sage, sages and more.”[/color] Noting the advisor and sages present adding her report and amending. “[color=ec008c]Clear so far Lords, Ladies and advisors, few things moving but they are staying away, not like the fires, if they're not, we need the knights and champion." [/color]Daphne said as she looked up, entirely without concern about how her and Katherine were snug together. She might die today, who gives a damn? This expedition… they were going into enemy territory, She had done with Lord Coswain sure, with Knights, experienced units and a clear plan. She bit back her thoughts and other remarks about some people staying polite.[color=ec008c] “I'd offer my spare, but you're more Kats Height.”[/color] Daphne said lightly, teasing the shorter priestess and making a little light of a stressful situation. [color=ec008c]“Just follow the plan, that's how to get home safe.”[/color] She said calmly, even as a squire, the whole night end of the world had forced her to face some things far more rapidly including having to fight her own people on their own streets.
