Style: Whichever!

[Lloyd had been toying with this idea for a while, and the more he thought about it, the more it appealed. Sure, it'll mean changes, but he can deal with that. First, though, he needs to talk to Mat. After all, it isn't just Lloyd's decision to make. Mat has more than a say in it, too.

So today, instead of heading straight into the forge, Lloyd pokes his head into the Inn itself, looking for his one-eyed friend.]

Hey, Mat? You here?

[Mat plants his weapon on the ground, leaning against it. He may still be ready with a dagger, but he'd be a little slow with the ashandarei if they continue.]

You'd be able to hold them off for at least a little while if they don't use the One Power on you, so yeah. Welcome to the Winespring.

[The Forsaken using the One Power kinda makes most of this spar pointless, but, if for some reason they didn't or couldn't, Lloyd would be fine.

He extends a hand to Lloyd.]

That was fun.

[redcladidealist]

[Lloyd cautiously lowers his swords when it looks like the spar is over, then straightens and smiles, sliding them back into their sheaths.]

Thanks. Yeah, it was.

[He accepts Mat's hand, giving it a firm shake.]

You're pretty good. How many daggers do you have?

I actually have thought about where he has all those--

[princeoftheravens]

[He blinks. He hasn't counted them in a while...]

I have...

[A couple in each sleeve, several in each boot, one in his hat, one in his belt buckle, one on the small of his back, one in his scarf, one hanging close to the medallion...He feels like he's forgetting some.]

A lot of daggers.

[They're really useful, okay?]

Choose a room that doesn't have stuff in it.

[There are only three with stuff, one looking used frequently, the others like someone goes in to make sure things don't disappear.]

Haha

[redcladidealist]

Sheehs, you don't wear them when you take a bath, do you?

[He's teasing. He's pretty sure Mat wouldn't go that far.]

It's probably a pain getting them all off, though. And getting them all back on.

[He takes a moment to wipe the sweat off his brow, then nods.]

An empty room. Got it. I'll let you know which I pick.

[princeoftheravens]

[Wear them? No...Keep them next to him? Yes.

So he just won't say anything to that, smiling instead.]

Better a pain than being defenseless if I drop this.

[He indicates the ashandarei, wiping his own face.]

Alright.

[redcladidealist]

Yeah, I guess I can understand that.

I'm gonna go cool off, then go start moving my stuff. [A soft smile.] Thanks, Mat.

[He lifts his hand, then goes in to find said bathroom and rinse off a bit of the sweat.]

[princeoftheravens]

[He watches him go for a moment before shaking his head and collecting his two daggers.

Lloyd's a kinda odd kid.]
