Clief looked at Jayden for a second as though he was about to speak, but decided against it.

"Perhaps we should go check on Nari?" asked Clief.

Jayden nodded happily.

"So how did you become so good at using a sword?" Jayden asked Clief while walking to the lake.

"My father taught me when i was a boy" he said as he lifted his shirt, revealing a large scar across his chest, "his handy work. He was a hard trainer to say the least....otherwise Duegan has taught me a bit aswell"

"...your father...do you have many memories?" Jayden asked asked a little shakily.

"No...not much...i was about 9 when....well, when it was taken away from me," Clief replied.

Both men went silent for a couple of minutes.

"Jayden?"

"Yes Clief?"

"When we get to Ishba...I was thinking just now. Theres should be a tournament around this time of year and maybe you may find someone to help you on your quest...and it would also be a good way to challenge your melee combat aswell..." Clief suggested.

Jayden looked at him and saw Clief with a dim look on his face.

"It sounds like fun...but you have to teach me more!" he replied
