Arlo thinks the guards should carry spears and pikes, but I think they should carry swords…"

You stand in the room listening and feel a bit uncomfortable. You have several scars that not a lot of people have seen. There are several on your back and chest.

Anne seems know what you are thinking. She smiles.

"You think I care about your scars Cap?", says Anne.

"What…that isn't what…"

"I think battle scars are interesting…beauteous if ask me. ", says Anne.

"Hmm…you're just saying that.", you reply.

"No really…I do. Each one tells a story.", says Anne.

"You rub one of your scars that you have received somewhat recently. It is still a bit sensitive and is painful, "Well…maybe if you had some you would think differently."

"Oh…I have plenty of scars…just maybe none that you can see.", says Anne

You look at her, you see a few light ones, but they are barely noticeable. You wonder what she meant by that.

An awkward silence enters the room.
