Legacies Reborn

Cecil lies down in bed, relaxing as he soon drifts off...

-I'm guessing some time later....-

Its not long before Cecil wakes up, walking out of the room with a yawn to check on his guard.

It's still Lucure's shift of course, whom is humming a little song ever so softly to herself as she traces over a map with a quill and ink, marking a route from memory through the valleys that lay between the plateau of Mossdeep. Since, y'know, since that area isn't underwater yet.

Cecil takes a seat next to her, watching. "....Hey."

She glances over at him, and simply nods.
"Awake I see? I'm just trying to get a safe path for our trip tomorrow ready."

"I can't sleep, Lucure...but I'd love to remain in your company if you'll have me..." He says with a yawn.

"Why would I say no?" she laughs, and pats beside her.

Cain, having gone to sleep way before they did starts to wake up.
"Mrmm...mmm? Mrrmmrm..."
He gets up and looks around noticing the other two.
"Eh? Some kind of double guard shift or something?"

Cecil sits by her, and looks to Cain. "Oh, no...I just woke up and decided to join Lucure. You having a hard time sleeping too?" He asks, then turns to Lucure and nuzzles her cheek gently.

"That's another way to look at it." Lucure says, petting Cecil's snout/head gently as he does so.

"Nah I've slept enough for now. I'll uh...leave you to it."
He then goes for a walk.

"Very well." He says before resuming nuzzling of Lucure. "So, may I watch you draw your map?"

Lucure waves to Cain, before resuming with her cartography.
"Of course."
It would seem she's been working on it slowly, but it looks very neat and thought-out.

"I must say, it looks quite good so far...I did not know you were so adept at art."

"Well, sometimes those boat rides would get really boring, going back and forth between ports. Plus, we needed maps, so I took it up."
She scribbles down a quick note (Something about not chancing a certain shortcut), and mentions, "I'm still not super good at it, either. I have to work a little bit at a time, or I get in a rush."

"I see...an interesting field." He says, quite interested as he watches.

"What are you good at?" She asks, curiously. "One other thing I know is a tad bit of guitar playing. Or banjo. I don't remember what it was I picked up, but it sure killed a week of time." ^^'

"I'm very adept in the art of swordsplay. I've participated in duels before. Lux has been an excellent sparring partner." He says. "However I've never tried instruments."

"Hm, wish I could say the same. I mean, I've used knives here and there through my life, but the...few times I've been in a fight, all I could do was dodge and look for openings."
She draws the parrying dagger she took from Cecil when she was hired.
"Catch the blade in the guard...yank their weapon to the side...and thrust."

"A simple yet effective dagger maneuver." He says. "...But would you be willing to learn swordsplay? I'd be willing to teach you." He says, then holding up a claw as if signaling a moment, he stands up and goes to his room, soon coming back with his own royal rapier, handing it to her. "I'd like you to have this..."

"For the practice, I hope you mean?" she says as she graciously accepts it. "I couldn't take it from you willingly, knowing your origin with it..."

"No...I mean I want you to keep it. I do have another."

the dull sound of thuds come from behind the house

"I...appreciate it. You'd be willing to teach me?...After we see what this noise is, that is."

"Yes, I would. Let's investigate that sound." He says as he starts to head outside and around to the back of the house.
