The knock came earlier than he expected.
Damon barely had time to lay down on the bed, wanting to rest his eyes for a while before a loud two knocks came from the door of his room.
When he opened the door, he saw Ning Xiaoyu standing before him, wearing her armour with her sword on her back.
"Train with me," she said.
It wasn't a question, not quite. It sounded more like a request, and judging by the shifting expressions on her face, that already took a lot of courage.
"Why?" he asked flatly.
"Because you're strong... And I want to get stronger."
It wasn't much of an answer, but it was good enough. Damon already had excess free time, and so he wouldn't mind wasting some of it.
'Better than sitting in a room all day,' he reasoned to himself as he followed Ning Xiaoyu down the corridor.
She took him to a courtyard on the eastern side of the citadel, which was clearly utilised as a training hall, judging by the racks of weapons scattered around it.
