There is a new(ish) wench inside the bar
Tonight, that's not been seen
Before within this space, and likely
Will not be seen again too soon.

Ned Poins hath known the favour of a god
Upon a feast that suits for suchlike things
And waits to see the outcome of his trick.

Also, fieryTrigon is signed on,
As Poins has not yet found out how
The thing is turned off.-

It was a mark of how well she knew the guy that she didn't get offended at the word 'wenches'. She knew now that it was less an offensive term and more just a slang version of 'women'.

So she could only laugh at that. "That there is, he seemed to have a fun time being introduced to modern weaponry as well."

It seemed to be universal almost: men and weapons. Not that Sonya could really blame him in that regard-the M-16 was a very useful and impressive weapon.

"He spoke of guns, as men are wont to do, that ever are enamoured with the sound of fiery mayhem," she says, nodding.

The smile faulters a little. It was true that Sonya enjoyed working with firearms as much as the next soldier, indeed her job as a field artillery officer almost required it, but the mention of 'fiery mayham' also brought other thoughts-like the sounds of combat.

Sonya recalled a scene in the movie 'Glory' on such a subject. It was a different era from her own, different weapons, and hell it was a movie-but that one scene still held true.

"Can't say it's the same for me-ironically enough. I love working with the weapons, but I can't say I love it when they're going off all around me." Oh, she did her duty pretty well (if she had to say so) and there was a sort of an addicting adrenaline rush that came with battle, but she couldn't say she really looked forward to fire fights specifically.

"My brother does, me thinks," she says.

[lt_blade]

She smirked after another bite of cake.

"Tell your brother next time he shows up, we should share some stories."

She was curious if he had any battle experience, what their stories would compare to.

It was funny in a way: as a female soldier, she wasn't even allowed in combat, but her field was still open to female soldiers and it was as close to combat as they could get without being 'on the line'.

"His exploits are of fell a nature, and I can think he would fain keep his silence," she grins.

[lt_blade]

Sonya knew a few men like that.

"So why'd he join the army then? If he's just going to stand back." She was unsure if she should feel anything towards that. True, he spoke of spoils, but was that just reason for joining the army. "Did he feel some loyalty to the general?"

Enough to join, not enough to put it out there.

[poins]

"One needs not join an army for to fight, and fell men with a sword may e'er be wanted," she says.
