The training yard of the Red Keep, where men are trained and soldiers mustered.

Daenya Targaryen arrived at the yard after a short morning flight on Vandaras. She was dressed in a black tunic and breeches, the red dragon of house Targaryen emblazoned on her chest. Her hair was in twin braids and on her feet she wore boots. She looked around for the Tyroshi.

The young man sauntered in. this time he wore a billowing white silk shirt and baggy purple breeches to match his hair, though the breeches were striped with silver. His clothing looked more suitable for a feast than a training fight but he smiled at the girl and bowed to her. "Princess. I wondered if you would be as brave as you are beautiful."

"And I am wondering if you are as full on with a sword as you are with words," Daenya replied, smiling as she slipped into some leather armour. She had brought one of her favourite training swords, styled after Dark Sister but with a blunt blade and she strode to the centre of the ring. "You do not look ready for a fight."

Watching her niece wondering what she was up to, Arenya leaned on her knee with her foot resting on one the posts of the practice yard. She was dressed in her leathers munching an apple, when she saw the colorful young man approaching from last night.
The word "foppish" popped into her head from what Aegon had said the night before and she chuckled so hard, she almost wound up spitting her apple on the ground. She recovered and put her hand at them as if to say "Don't mind me.. Please continue."

"This is how I fight when it's not for real," he boasted. "The loose fabrics allow for easy movement. I always wear silk on the battlefield too, because it catches in the wound less easily than plain cloth."
He drew his training sword, a massive curved scimitar.
"Shall we dance, my lady?"

Daenya studied the man's feet, the way he held is sword, taking her time like her mother had told her. She would watch his eyes mostly, though always be aware of his movements. When her aunt arrived she gave her a smile and a nod.
Danye then slipped on a leather helm and grabbed a shield, before readying herself to fight.

Valio Faharis bowed and slid into a fighting stance with a slight incline of his head towards the lady watching.

Not wanting to be a distraction, she returned the nod and watched Daenya's movements.
Arenya returned his stare, then but into her apple.

The two combatants square off with the Tyroshi mercenary languidly standing in his own fighting stance. As Arenya signaled the fight to start, Daenya pounced on Valio and catching him off guard is able to quickly bat the scimitar out of the way with her training sword and there is a loud crack as she hits him in the side of the rib on her backswing.

Arenya clapped and whistled at that swift victory by her niece. "Well done Daenya, well done."

Valio yelled in pain and dropped his sword as he cursed in the Tyroshi tongue. He didn't look quite so handsome or flashy now.

Daenya smiled and sheathed her sword, dropping her shield before holding out her hand for Valio to take.
"You were quicker than I thought."

"Get him to the Maester", Arenya motioned for the servants to take him. Grinning at Daenya,"It seems dear niece you've wounded the poor young man."

"don't mock me," Valio grumbled. "Aaah! Hurts like hell."
He scrambled upright by taking her hand on his unwounded side. It hurt to move the arm on the wounded side. "I need a drink!"

Daenya's smile fell and she returned her hand to her side. "I was not intending to mock you, master Valio and apologize if you take offense." She removed her helmet and then her armour, letting a page take them away.
She then turned to Arenya. "Oh Auntie, I think I have merely hurt his pride a little."

Arenya stopped the servants and frowned,"My niece was not mocking you? And I merely wanted to see you cared for after my niece knocked you on your ass." "Fetch him a drink instead." She smiled at Daeyna,"Well I think he owes you an apology myself." |

Valio struggled to his feet with a groan. "You fight well, for a girl. I take no offence."
He lokoed at Arenya. "I meant you no ill will, lady. I appreciate the concern. But I am a soldier, not a weakling. And I don't think I've anything to apologise for. We're all friends here, aren't we?"

Daenya sighed. "It is alright, Arenya. Master Valio, perhaps we can train again another day and you will be more... wary." She smiled. "I think I need a bath, however."

Arenya was about to dive into him with both feet, but Daenya (surprisingly calm) cooled her building flames. She sighed with a smile,"Alright dear one, you win for the day."
She stared at the foppish young man with a scowl, wondering if he would still think so highly of himself if he was missing an ear.

"As you wish, princess. I can't find today anyway. Ribs take time to heal. Maybe you'd best come to Tyrosh instead," he challenged, since he knew full well that he'd not be at court long enough to fight her again.

"Perhaps I will visit. On dragonback it should not take too long." Daenya nodded again politely. "Until then. Auntie, thank you for watching." She smiled and left to soak in the bath.

Arenya smiled at Daenya as she departed. She then turned her eyes to the young man, her smile had dropped,"She's gone now, do you still not want the Maester?"
"Or do you want to keep up the bravado?"

"Of course I want the maester," he said. "But it would not be fitting to see weak in her eyes." He winced and clutched his side.

Arenya laughed,"Master Valio is it? I am the Kings's sister which makes me a Princess as well."
"But you choose not to look weak in her eyes, but you would show your weakness in mine? Would like to get to him on your feet or have the servants take you?"
