(Timeskip a couple weeks)
Duällen was pacing the halls after a restless night of sleep. The day had come where Ad'iira had to prove herself to the family and the scenarios came rushing through his head like raging rapids. He had on his leather armor and his hair was tied back neatly but his eyes held both worry and a deathly protectiveness.
Rin was changing into her light armor silently, going over her attack strategies in her head and trying to remember how her cousins fought. She glanced over to her mother who was gently rocking a sleeping Liam as she paced the room.
Fal'rien had gathered her children earlier in the morning to go over what was expected of them. She liked Ad'iira very much and the way her son watched her gave clear signs of what he felt as well. She was wearing her familiar light armor and coddling over Liam, "It's going to be fine dear".
Ad'iira was sitting on the bed watching Rin and Fal'rien with worried eyes. She had her hair braided back and twisted into a tight bun, "I know Fal'rien but it's not me I'm worried about". She glanced to the door where Duällen had left moments before.
Cerrina was standing outside the door as guard, watching the halls diligently as Ze'ock and Eqari flanked her on either side.
Kalten was back in the training room, hacking and slashing at the wooden dummies he had neglected for a week. He wore a fierce scowl and grunted with every excruciating blow that hit his target. He plunged one into its wooden chest and twisted it, making it groan and splinter before he relaxed completely and panted lightly.
Rettika was in the kitchen cooking as she usually would to focus her mind and relieve some stress. She mixed the ingredients for chocolate rolls and gently hummed.
