[B]"Why would my hirer need to watch a commoner fight? I'm sure that if you ever wanted to know some poor man's form of what you nobles can learn you'd have done so already. As for this your mind is to broad. If I wanted multiple enemies I'd have multiple dummies here. If I had ranged enemies I'd find an archer or toss rocks in the air and blind fold myself to rely on the sound of the rocks. It causes bruises but each shows that I need to try harder. Why practice for more situations than I need to at a time?"[/b] Carn said stopping and trying his best to disguise his annoyance at the fact that someone was actually watching him let alone his noble employer. Why would he need to watch him? Did he think he was an....no he was overthinking it this lordling was simply curious. [B]"I apologize for my actions earlier but in Ferox we showed our skills and what we had at the table so to speak.[/B] Carn walked back slightly when the lord came forward towards him but it was more instinctual than anything. [B]"I learned both my form from years of labor. Ever since I could wield a blade my old man fought with me until...I had to leave the homestead due to certain events. I learned REAL warfare under my fellow Silver Hawks. You haven't really seen what war is until you follow a man who beat ten men dead with a blunt iron axe before. Or when you see your entire team dead in a ambush. I hope you never learn what real war is Lord Xavier. You needn't apologize sir. I am a mere hireling and am beneath your station. You are the heir to the Exaltdom of Ylisse and you shouldn't lower your standards to some worm like myself.[/b] Carn said as he quickly pulled out his iron sword and smacked his sword into the nearby dummy's shield and pushed forward before dropping his sword and grabbing the doll in what could have been a strangle hold but it was dropped quickly. [B]"You and the Exalt should keep your glee until you see me actually fight sir. And as for liking you. I don't know you. You don't know me. And I don't need to like you or know you to work FOR you. As long as you keep me well fed, paid, and living you have my blade. If you need more for that then go find yourself a wench at tavern or a wife or whatever nobles you like.[/b] Carn said as he readjusted the dummy.
