Whipping the new recruits into shape

[heiresy]

Who: Aymeric and you! If you aren't a guard, maybe you still have business in the grounds? Come tag along.
What: Aymeric is having breakfast with his fellows before taking new recruits around on an informal training tour.
When: Early AM
Where: In the castle
Warnings: Well. I know Cain's going to be in this.



[Aymeric is on the mend from his sex-related injuries. He is sporting a couple fresh cuts on his hip and ass- stitched and healing. They seem to be from the razor-sharp claw of some terrible beast. He wishes very much that he could be wearing pants at a time like this, even it it would be more uncomfortable. The area is a bit too awkward to dress the wound anyway... At the communal tables, he is trying to be sociable, talking to those he might ordinarily be more hesitant with.

Once breakfast is finished, he stands by the doors to ask the new faces if they would like to be shown around. It's clear enough that no one but himself has put him up to this. ]

Éowyn! But of course. I would at least appreciate the company. Strength in numbers, as it were, even within our own walls.

[He stands, hands on hips and shakes his head] Honestly, with how this castle is run... I find myself day-dreaming that I could take a higher position and really do something around here. There is so much to be done, however. I wouldn't know where to start.

[shieldofrohan]

[She laughs shortly, nodding agreement.] I have found myself dreaming the same, truthfully. There is such chaos in this place, so little regard...

Perhaps between us, we may at least come some way towards it. In the barracks, if not the higher chambers.

[heiresy]

We will have to be clever— and quiet. If we are to succeed at such a thing. It won't be impossible to organize ourselves thus... But we mustn't get careless. The orange-cloaks might catch on.

[He says this as he watches a couple of Mistress' guard arm wrestle for the pleasure of being the first to throw an apprentice into the snow banks]

Or not... Pardon mine excitement if you were speaking merely hypotheticals, but I feel that this would be a very good idea for the protection of our ranks.

[shieldofrohan]

I do not speak such things without meaning them.

[Her expression is very serious.]

We are limited in our duties, but that does not mean we ought to give them less than our all. There is... a lack of care in these ranks that troubles me.

But you are right, of course. It is best discussed more circumspectly. Later, perhaps, we might share a few thoughts?

[heiresy]

Aye. Our opportunities for privacy are few; though my good friend may loan us access to her cabin. How refreshing it is to hear my thoughts from another's mouth.

[He looks totally serious, too. His pulse quickens. He's very excited to be able to delve into these likeminded activities.]

Alternatively, the bunks may serve if we pull the door closed firmly enough. Estinien would watch the door if I asked him. What are your thoughts?

[shieldofrohan]

Safer to use the bunks, and not draw others into this. Doubtless they will assume lewder things.

[She's pretty excited, too. Finally, this feels like they might be able to do something meaningful!]

[heiresy]

Tonight, then? We can speak entirely uninhibited. Doubly so if they believe we are simply going to bed. It shouldn't arouse any suspicion. [As he implies that it's totally believable that they'd bang, but you know.]

Bring a cup, and I'll supply a bottle to talk over. Do you know which room I'm in?

[shieldofrohan]

I believe so. [She tries to know the barracks arrangements as well as she can. It feels appropriate.]

Tonight. Until then... [A little smile.] I meant it when I offered help in this welcome, if there is aught I can do.
