The Tournament of Blades (Private rp with Abbster)

[Abbster]

Kennadee nodded. "Alright" She said. "Whats your first thing?" She asked him, as she watched the royals take notes of everything that was happening in the arena at the moment. Kennadee leaned towards Gale. "Why do they take notes?" She whispered towards him as she watched the royals again. She made eye contact with the king and instantly moved back to her spot, her face growing hot with embarrassment.

"Jousting." Gale says pausing. "They're taking notes on everyone's performance. It's normal. No need to fret over it. They're just making sure that they understand everyone's strengths and weaknesses. A kingdom relies on it's knights for safety and they have to make sure that they have a good balance of strengths so that there will always be people who will excel where others might struggle" he says.

[Abbster]

Kennadee took a breath and nodded. “Alright.” She said as she watched the people in the arena. “I have jousting tomorrow” Kennadee said. “Dressage is my next session” she said. “I’m riding Moondapple for my dressage.” Kennadee said. “I don’t really know how it’s going to go with her but we’ll see”

[mainehorse]

"Cass told me you were able to take her out to get a feel for her early. As long as you don't let your nerves get the best of you then I'm sure you'll do fine. Remember, they can tell when you're nervous. If you're nervous then Moondapple probably will be too. So just try to remain calm and so will she. You'll do great." Gale says. He was on his own horse, but he knew that adjusting to a new horse could be tough.

[Abbster]

Kennadee nodded. “Yea, I did take her for a ride” she said. “I liked her, I liked her a lot.” Kennadee said. “I hope I have a good ride with her later” she admitted. She sighed, she knew that Moondapple was a good horse, and she wasn’t worried at all. She just hoped things went right.

[mainehorse]

"I'm sure you will. Just focus on your horse and doing your best and you'll do fine." Gale says. He knew that Kenn had practiced and all the royal horses were trained by professionals. So Moondapple would know what to do. He had no doubt that she would do as directed and that the two would get through the tournament well.

[Abbster]

Kennadee nodded. She trusted what Gale said, for some odd reason, she trusted him. "Thank you" Kennadee said. "I believe my dressage ride is after lunch, but I'm not to sure" She said, as she continued to watch. Soon, it would be Cass' turn, and Kennadee was eager to watch her do her thing.

[mainehorse]

"You'll want to doublecheck your schedule, but that's probably true. I think after Cass and her opponent there's an interlude for lunch." Gale says. He could see Cass and the other knight she would facing off to the side the arena, just checking their armor to make sure that it was all secure. This was a tournament, not an actual fight. So neither would be trying to actually wound their opponent.

[Abbster]

“Yea, let me check that” Kennadee said, taking her schedule out of her pocket. She looked at it. And nodded. “Yep, I’m doing dressage after lunch” she says, with a smile. “I’ll probably try to get lunch right after Cass goes. I want to brush down Moondapple as best I can before our dressage” Kennadee said

[mainehorse]

"We'll probably come join you. There won't be too much time to get lunch before the tournament resumes, so it's best to head out as early as possible." Gale says. He knew that after competing and training this morning, they would all be hungry. And there was a tavern nearby where they could go ahead and get a warm meal with what time they had.

[Abbster]

Kennadee nodded. "Alright" She said, as she continued to watch the people in the arena. Eventually, she saw someone who looked familiar. "hey" She said. "I know that girl" Kennadee said looking at Gale. Who was it? Kennadee couldn't put her finger on it. Then it hit her. Preslee! She gasped. "That's my childhood best friend! Preslee" Kennadee said, gasping again, as she blinked in shock. What was Preslee doing there?

[mainehorse]

"Well, fencing requires two people. She's probably competing in the round as well." Gale says. If she wasn't competing then Preslee wouldn't have been allowed down in the arena. During a tournament only the people who were actively competing down there were allowed to enter the arena in order to prevent accidents and to ensure that those who were competing were not distracted by other people.

[Abbster]

"I know" Kennadee said. "I wonder if Cass is going against Presslee" Kennadee said. She would need to talk to Presslee later, mainly because she would need to know if Preslee remembered who she was. Kennadee shook her head to get back to the zone. "Ok, I'm back." She said. "Has Cass gone on yet?" She asked

[mainehorse]

"Probably, fencing is done between two individual and they're the only two down there." Gale says pausing. "No, not yet. Looks like they're both still getting into their armor. But they'll be going up shortly" he says. He was curious to see who would win the round.

[Abbster]

Kennadee hadn't seen Presslee in years. How was she supposed to just randomly pick between her childhood best friend, and her new current best friend. She couldn't do that. Kenandee sighed. If Cass won, then Kennadee would still need to talk to Presslee afterwards, because by now, Presslee had to know that Kennadee was there, and if Presslee won....well the odds were the same. Kennadee would still have to talk to Presslee either way. "Honestly, I hope Cass wins this, but either way, I already know I'm going to have to talk to Presslee after this is done" Kennadee said. "Not looking forward to that" She admitted.
