Thereâs a brief chuckle && Caspar gave Ingrid a knowing look. She seemed uneasy, struggling to breathe && control her anxiety. He could see that, but maybe he could help combat it atleast. He had his own demons to fight. His own clothes were stained a color to match Ingridâs, cap torn && tattered in a few places as well as parts of his armor were cracked. He took a lot of hits in that last battle, maybe too many.Â
Struggling to take the next breath, the pain of his broken rib finally set in as Casparâs adrenaline from the fight started to finally fade.
     â Could be better but you know Iâve been through   worse just fighting guards. Câmon you look like someoneâs   going to burst through that door and attack us. Try to relax.   Weâre back at the monastery now so I donât really think   anyoneâs gonna hurt us. â
He paused as his lips cracked into a slight smile.Â
    â Except maybe Felix. â
       HIS WORDS MANAGE TO GET A chuckle out of her, she knew that they were safe there... or at least she assumed that they were. If she was being honest though -- she WAS acting as if someone was going to burst through the door and attack them at any moment. It was getting harder and harder for her to let herself relax after a battle. They werenât in their academy days anymore, these battles werenât just ones that were to hone their skills, they were for real. Sheâd killed and watched others get killed, her hands were tainted. These were all things that she had expected when she had decided to become a knight... things that she KNEW she would have to see. But to be forced to fight those that were once called classmates ?? It was difficult for her to look at them as if they were strangers.Â
â It looks like you might need the infirmary even more than I do... â She would first say, her wounds were BAD but his looked much WORSE. â Though, you probably are right... about it being safe here. I just... donât want to risk it, I donât want to lose anybody else. â
