Strategy Meeting

Nate awoke, his body screaming in protest after days of sleeping on the hard ground. He stretched, causing cracking sounds to echo through the basement. Groaning, he continued until his limbs felt less stiff.

"You should get used to rough living. It's important for any adventurer," a soft but stern voice said.

Looking over, he saw Selene decked out in full plate armor, a large broadsword strapped to her back. Her icy blue eyes examined him intently.

"I'm starting to get that feeling," he replied jokingly.

"Well, you should begin getting ready. My master wants to hold the strategy meeting in two bells," she said, turning away.

"Don't worry, not everyone is as insanely dedicated as her. That girl was even offered her own room, but she said she hadn't earned the privilege yet," Rob called out from across the room.

"How come she was offered a room?" He grumbled.
