Silent Training

The gentle guard looked at Ingus and couldn't help but compliment.

Guard: "Your highness looks sharp."

Ingus: "Thank you, I didn't get your name"

Guard: "Baltheus, your highness, but you may suit yourself calling me as you please"

Ingus: "I like that name, what does it mean?"

Baltheus: "your highness words are kind, I am flattered to be praised. I'm afraid my name won't be of such interest, it refers to a constellation, one that appears bright in the night sky. Its brightest star, Balt is said to have been named by A'lun"

Ingus: "That's so cool"

Ingus had his eyes full of sparks and Baltheus chuckled before saying.

Baltheus: "Thank you, your highness"

Ingus: "You can just call me Ingus you know"

Baltheus: "humility is a virtue I see in his highness, but it wouldn't be well seen for a commoner and a guard at that to address a royalty without the due respect"

Ingus: "Sara do call us by our names"
