4th Spring, 511 A.V. Hadrian had more access to the Knights' Citadel than the average citizen now he was contracted to produce magical talismans for them. As such, today he was walking through the training ground to get to where he was going. The last time he had been there, back in the Winter, he had been helping young Octavius with his training by lobbing blocks of ice at him to block with his shield or shear with his sword. It had been rather fun, Hadrian would admit if he were being honest. It was good to know that his young brother, Verus, had such a friend, even if Hadrian didn't count himself the best of brothers. He smiled faintly as he walked, his winterbane coat left at home now the world was starting to warm up again with Spring. Walking was generally a freeing experience for him, even if it was merely to get someplace. His mind worked out of ruts when his feet were moving, and whatever problems he was mulling over tended to clear up with a bit of movement. All the same, he turned inward and hardly seemed to be paying attention to anyone else on the grounds as he continued on to where he was going. |
