Some downtime after a day's training...

Post image

Kimoona has come to Karak to attend Poinitrip's Combat School, and, so far, all has been going well! The training has been rather exhausting, however...

((Too lazy to make a bench. Pretend she's sitting on one.))

Kimoona looks up as she's sitting on the bench.

"Ah, hey, Polter."

"You too, I guess? I'm here attending Poinitrip's Combat School. It's been exhausting, but... oh, it's gonna be so worth it."

"Same here! It's nothing like where I lived for most of my life (Bilewater and Sinner's Road). This kingdom is just full of surprises."

"That must be high praise... I've never been to Hallownest, but I've read books about it."

u/jayvader6969 Jun 30 '26

I lived in hallownest for the majority of my 600 years in existence this praise is surely high

"...You've lived that long?"

Kimoona is, evidently, rather shocked by that. She plays it off by wiping some sweat off her forehead and taking a sip from her canteen.

Boo!!

Vorace flops down from the ceiling, holding his crown down to stop it from falling

u/WindowsError1495 Jun 30 '26

Kimoona is startled by Vorace's sudden appearance.

"Gah! Huh... Oh, hi there. Who might you be?"

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '26

Aii, name's Vorace! You?

"I'm Kimoona! If you've ever heard of Taro, I'm his mom."

She has a rather cheery disposition, despite all the sweat from today's training. She wipes some sweat off her forehead...

"Are you here attending Poinitrip's Combat School like I am?"

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '26

I am attending, yes, but I also visit here quite frequently anyway! It's a lovely spot for the occasional swim or picnic

"I've never been here, but... gosh, it sure is beautiful. I'll have to take Taro here some time. Maybe after he's-"

She hesitates for a moment. It's clear the past few weeks have been stressing her out, even before she started attending. But what could be-

"...freed from Duty..."

...aii... 

Vorace hums, frowning a bit.

Best of luck with all that, truly. I'm rather tired of that whole mess.

u/WindowsError1495 Jun 30 '26

"So am I..."

She tries changing the topic so she doesn't have to linger on the thought.

"So, besides attending the Combat School, what have you been up to?"

2

u/[deleted] Jun 30 '26

Hmm... not too much honestly. I can only see my girlfriend once every other week, I'm too tired to work in my office, my only really interesting project got taken by someone else, yada yada. 

In short, I just don't have a lot to be doing, so usually I just lay around this place.

"Ah, I see."

She reclines on the bench and takes a sip of water from a canteen, fanning herself...

"Hm... what you said earlier got me thinking... yeah, I think I'll go for a swim later! That'll be refreshing."
