I wonder how Dave's training is going? I think as I sit down on a log, thinking about her plan. It's a crazy plan, it really is, but it's our best shot. I'm just glad Scar convinced Dave to do it. She's right, the rest of us can't because, like she said, we are a little too well known. Unfortunately. I hope Dave is doing ok, and isn't making her mad.

.If he us, well he's in trouble.

She has a huge temper, and when it's released it's not pretty. It doesn't take much to set it off either. Just then, they walk over.

.. She sits down next to me.

I ask her "How'd it go?" she answers "It went ok. I'm going to go into town after lunch and nab Dave his own knives."

I look at her, and I can tell she's not telling me something. I give her a questioning look, and she mouths

"Tell you later." I nod.

Just then, the rest of the band arrives. We eat our lunch quietly, and soon after Scar disappeared. We let Dave have some downtime, considering he won't get much of it for a while whatbwith training and then going into the castle. She came back a hour later with 2 cheap looking knives for Dave. She handed them to him.
"I didn't sharpen them, you can do that on your own. You got long fine with mine, and these are balanced the similar way. You can try them out tomorrow. John, would you start on your stuff with him?

he nodded and said "Sure, come on Dave."

the two walked away, and Much and Godfrey went off to train, leaving me and Scar alone together. We look at each other, and we come to a silent agreement. She put the fire out, and we headed to the cave.

When we got there, I asked her "How did it really go?" she sighed, and said

"It went ok. But we were there for at least 3 hours and he only got about 4 sticks. I realise that it was his first time, but at my first time I didn't have any one helping me and I got about 20 sticks in 3 hours on my first time." She sighed, and leaned into me. I put my arm around her. She just sighed, and said

"I honestly don't think knives are a good weapon for him. But I don't know what is."

.. "Me neither, Scar. Me neither. Don't worry, he will find something, and all you can do is try. Besides, you have a natural gift with knives, like they were made for you."

she just nods. Her silvery eyes were filled with so many emotions, I couldn't count them all. I felt a flash of jelousy. Is she in love with Dave? No, that's a completely unreasonable thought. But then again..

She is so focused on him....has he stolen her heart? I don't think so....but John is defiantly interested in her. I see the way be looks at her. I again, feel the flash of jealousy that I don't understand. I don't like her as more than a friend...do I? Damn, why is love so complicated? Actuality, why is life so damn complicated? I'll never know....but I do know that if she is in love with someone else, I will not interfere. But if they hurt her.....well they just might have a arrow sticking out if them.
