Her Training Began

Faris was the one who came to fetch Cassandra during the afternoon for her first training session with his brother. The basket-making session was interesting, and she learnt quite a lot, not only from her mother-in-law but also from other women, who were eager to teach her.

Now they were headed off towards the training arena with Faris's hands behind his back as he walked casually alongside her, whistling some melody.

"I guess I rescued you from dying of boredom. Training sessions are where the real fun will be," he haughtily said, staring up ahead with a cunning smile.

Cassandra let out a small chuckle understanding how different the definition of fun for men and women was.

"I quite enjoyed it. There was so much skill involved," Cassandra countered, walking carefully so as not to fill her shoes with sand.
