"Good spar," I told my co-{Guard}, clapping him on the back. He grunted, running his fingers through his spiky black hair.

It was the first time I'd seen him without his helmet. Without it, he looked a lot younger than I thought before and, dare I say, almost handsome. The look was ruined, though, with the sporadic lumps on his forehead, cheeks, and scalp. My sticks hit him hard.

Stolen story; please report.

"Next time," he muttered, "I get to turn you into a pincushion."

"If you manage to hit me. We both know your aim isn't too good."

"You never let me practice!"

"Bah, training with your dagger is important. I gave it to you because you'd have nothing else if someone gets to you before you can shoot them."

"That is so-ugh! My arrows!"

He ran toward his post and picked up his quiver lying half-submerged in the snow. Pulling out his arrows, he cursed and rubbed the stone tips on his gambeson. "Stupid snow! Gah, all this frost...it's so annoying."

I nudged him with my boot. "That's what you are, you know."

He rolled his eyes as he pulled out another arrow. "That's right. I'm Frost, the abused and mistreated {Guard}."

As soon as the words left his mouth, he gasped, his eyes glazing over. I watched him closely, wondering what had happened. After a minute of nothing, his face lit up with a grin.

"Finally! Look at this!"

His left eye twitched for a second and then I could see his status1.

"I guess we're equals now, huh?" he said with a cheeky grin.

I slapped the back of his head.
