The morning comes easily on gora they still a little over two months to achieve their goals. gora happily gets ready for the day. Once shes all dressed and proper for the day she leaves her temporary room with her bags in tow knowing very well it will in the very least be four weeks before shes back here.

  She heads to the dining hall agreed upon. Though unlike the hundreds of warriors dining here like st time, a scattered number of nobles and knights occupy the halls. Gora is able to quickly get her food and find rex and his squad. She sits in between captain rex and the giant utum, secomi the bdes man would be on Utum’s right. Across the table from gora would be the ever accurate Arvus to her right would be her brother the melodic mistro Sicus and to her left would be cofus Rex’s second in command.

  While Gora’s time with these knights of astra has not been long she has developed a fondness for them all she smiles happily as she sits with then and begins chatting with them.”morning everyone i hope we’re all ready for our upcoming journeys”

  Gora says in a cheerful tone. Rex smiles at the cheerful gora and nods”yes i have been sent to the most eastward parts of our kingdoms to the Orientalem bay where a rge amount of lisads have moved to”

  Gora lifts up an eyebrow and swallows any food she has in her mouth.”lisads on your east coast? What the hell are they doing there?”

  Rex shrugs”not sure myself but im sure as you are aware the lisads are great men of trades their help in this oncoming war would be undeniable helpful.”

  Gora sighs and gets back to eating her food simply giving rex a little shrug for a response. Sicus as usual would be strumming away on his little pandura as it seems hes already ate. Cofus would be eating food rather slowly not seeming to ambitious about the day causing gora to look confused” whats wrong with you dofus?”

  Cofus looks at gora quite confused as are the other members of the table” what did you just call me?”

  Gora looks around wondering if she stepped out of line.”um Cofus? You know like doofus? Cofus doofus dufus sorry you were calling me gora so i figured id give you a nickname too”

  The whole table besides sir rex (who would be finding this whole situation amusing) looks confused” huh i thought gora was your name?”

  Cofus says quite defensively causing gora to make a sound of excmation”what? No my name is GRIgora haven’t you heard sir rexan and the high king say it?”

  Gora says sounding quite offended.”I thought it was just a sokaran honorific or something. your grandfather was calling you gora and you responded to it”

  Cofus is now getting desperate unsure about anything any more gora stands up and points furiously at him”its just his nickname for me admit it you just weren’t paying attention Cofus!”

  cofus looks shocked for a moment no one says anything and their is silence at the table. Though that is quickly ended as rex can no longer hold his ughter. Arvus and secomi follow suit with Sicus and utum soon after. Gora and cofus take a quick look around the table themselves before they start ughing as well. For a good couple of minutes nothing but ughter can be heard from their table. They forget all about the day and just enjoy their company for a moment.

  As the ughter dies down cofus shakes his head”no im sorry but what was your question dy GRIgora”

  He empathizes the gri in her name to get a rise out of her. Gora just empathically sighs “just call me gora and i was just asking why you seemed so gloomy.

  Cofus’s head drops and his gaze hits the ground rather pathetically.” my father has stated that i am to return home to train in these 3 months of peace. Aided by sir Codia Lacerana’s guidance.”

  Cofus sounds miserable saying all of that but gora faces shows the upmost delight. she once again points to the highborn noble and nds with a chuckle”that sucks for you man but you know you need it. Maybe with sir Codia’s strict attitude maybe he can make something out of you”

  Gora’s words are harsh but her tone his cheerful. poor cofus just droops down ying his head on the table slowly scooping food into his mouth refusing to talk. Rex shakes his disapprovingly to his juniors resolve causing cofus to move even slower wanting to save himself every second possible of Codia’s training.

  Gora and rex stand up at the same time and look at each other”gora as my second junior commander i in trust utum and secomi to you on your journey back to your domain. i trust i will see you all again in three months time”

  Gora and Rex csp hands their eyes meeting each others gora nods her head”of course and when i return i will bring the aide of grandfathers domain.”

  Gora’s voice is strong but friendly”while i had my doubts about you astrans and coming her, i have to say i have come to appreciate you and your squads company i cant wait to finish fending off this luuton incursion!”

  Everyone say their goodbyes as they leave. patting a still drooping cofus on the back as they make their way out. Making their way down to the stables together. As they get on their mounts they say their goodbyes one st time. Before going their separate ways. Rex, Arvus, and Sicus head to the east to get the support of the talented artisans the lisad. Gora, Utum, and Secomi head north west to the nds of Sokara. Gora hoping to convince her grandfather to help the astrans in this war and spend some time at home to rest.

  Cofus will be heading back to his fathers nds and be training for the rest of this ceasefire.while rex, Sicus and Arvus prepare to head east. All go their separate ways to achieve the same goal with different motives and different reasons. the luutons seem to have the upper hand numerically and strength wise and yet their departure was a cheerful one with hope for the future.
