"Did you see what I did, Mother!" Aereth squealed, leaping up and down. "I smacked it right outta her hand!"

"Yes, I saw, little bear!" called Zelda lovingly, and Aereth beamed with pride, sticking out her chest. Though Gweneth thought Zelda looked a little worried.

"Gweneth is shite with a sword, not much of an achievement!" shouted Calain, whose hand was playfully smacked by Zelda for swearing in front of the child.

Aereth shrieked with giggles.

Gweneth smirked, twirling her sword with a loose wrist. "Put your blade behind those words!" she challenged.

Calain lurched up, grinning.

"Oh, for the love of. . ." muttered Selene, who was sitting between Zelda and Cassandra as she drank water from her skin.

Aereth twisted around to look up at Zelda, clasped her small hands together in prayer, and said, "Please, Mother? Shall I?" She stuck out her lip in a silly expression that made Zelda shriek out a laugh. Zelda didn't see it when the knights looked at her fondly, glad to hear her laughter.

"All right, little bear," said Zelda, touching Aereth's auburn hair with soft-eyed affection. "We shall buy you a sword in Hawic."

"Yay!" Aereth cried.

"Well?" said Eydis, who was now looking directly at Zelda. "Choose your champion and let's have done with this. I have children to feed."

Zelda saw the Knights of Falcon all turn toward her as one, draw their swords, and plunge their blades into the earth, taking a knee before her. They bowed their heads and waited for her to choose one of them.
