"-Oh, greetings Lydia, I've been looking for you!
- Danadriel!? what have I done? please dont be angry with me whatever I did I'm sorry!
- No no! please calm down, I know everyone is terrified of me but I came here to bring something for you.
- W-what is it?
- I was talking to the captain and we believe you deserve a reward for your courage last night...you showed great courage by facing a interloper all by yourself, if not for you, all the young children of this fortress would be dead by now.
- I just...had to do something, the monster were upon us and I hit it with a firewood...anyone could done that.
- Don't sell yourself short, you killed a mighty foe with an improvised weapon while being heavily pregnant, not everyone could pull this off...and this is why we decided to properly arm you in case of a reapeat of the last night's incident, I salvaged this arming sword for you its light, small and deadly, it will keep you safe without hindering you.
- Thank you but I can't accept it, a sword is a weapon for nobles and knights...I'm a mere wet nurse!
- forget those outdated traditions, this is the end of the world, we may be the last survivors in this doomed land, everyone needs to be armed!
- I guess you are right...but I feel bad for being the only one armed here, the other ladies also deserve to feel safe.
- what? everyone is supposed to be armed here, I left axes and maces here to be used by everyone, what happened to them!?
- The men are hoarding it, they took all the weapons for themselves, they say that fighting is not for ladies...
- Really!? I think I'm gonna break some kneecaps here! what the captain said about it!?
- they told us to not tell the captain...or there would be consequences...
- I'm gonna fucking crack the skull of the guys behind this...the captain will hear about it, and if anyone threatens the ladies in the fortress again be sure to tell me, I will not let this stand!
- I would be thankful if you could intervene Danadriel...I don't know if I'm asking much but can you give us real weapons like the men have? we are tired of being sitting ducks waiting to be slaughtered, we want halberds, billhooks and hammers to defend ourselves...maybe armor even? its not fair that the men can hide behind metal and we sitting here with aprons and dresses!
- Sorry but I can't give you plate or chain mail, we need every single piece for the lads on the walls...however we have a surplus of linen, you could craft gambesons for yourselves...polearms will be useless inside these confined spaces of the fortress...however we found a barrel full of javelins, and they work as wonderfull improvised short spears, I can leave them up here near the dorms so you all can arm yourselves in a pinch.
- That would be a great improvement to be fair!...but what if the men confiscate our weapons again?
- Who is the one leading this bullshit?
- Robert and the others who guard the south tower.
- Mister Robert will have a close conversation with my hammer tonight...by tomorrow we going to have the situation resolved I promise you..."
