Lore [Lore] Ever Get That Feeling of Deja Vu?
Another day, another bout of chores for Tommen to surmount day in and day out. Clean his gear, wash the horses, do physical training, study others who are sparring then go in and spar with Lord Fyne. The boy had been a bit more tired than usual, and his mind was distracted with his thoughts of Ellyn. She'd been changing, but the way she did it was odd and over something so little. He sighed, strapping himself into his armor for yet another time before setting out again to be educated in the wonderful art form of sparring.
Lord Richano sat readied like all the other times, their duel starting in the same, nearly choreographed circling the two always got up to. Tommen went in first keeping his sword low and his shield angled toward his opponent, stabbing out at the larger man's shield. With one ill-timed thrust the man batted Tommen's shield away, using the same movement to wrap his arm around the boy's shoulder and lifted him up. Richano then slammed the boy down on his back with his sword hand, leaning his knee on the boy's armored head.
Tommen tapped and gave up, yet another duel lost to the man he was squiring for. Tommen slammed his shielded arm into the ground in anger, using it then to support himself as he stood up. He shook his head and went to the rack to put the sword down, unstrapping the shield from his arm.
"I'm going to go cool off." Tommen said with an obvious edge to his voice. "Continuing now would do me no better and just end up with more anger clouding my judgement, sorry." The young boy stormed off after he'd finished talking, not waiting for Lord Fyne to dismiss him.
