She turned to him, a small smile on her face. "Oh, it was fun," she said. "The market was busier than I expected. Lots of people, lots of noise. The carpenters knew exactly where to go, so there wasn't any wandering around or haggling. We just walked in, picked the wood, paid for it, and arranged for transport."
Darion nodded. "Sounds efficient."
"It was." She paused. "What did you do while we were away?"
Darion smiled at the question. "I read. Then after I was bored, I went to the knights barracks to watch the knights train. Then I went to sleep. I was woken up by Garren."
Seren raised an eyebrow. "Sounds boring."
Darion smiled. "Not exactly." He said. "The training was actually entertaining. They were sparring, and one of them caught the other with a hit that would have killed him in a real fight. It was interesting to watch."
Seren shrugged. "I guess. Still sounds boring compared to buying wood."
Darion laughed at that.
She smiled.
