"Jannia is my queen, her place is in Evermore. The same goes for my children. I won't ship them off to Cyrodiil!" He scowled, angry even at the mention of such a proposition.

She nodded. "Yes. I joined as soon as I left home."

Roberto finished his mug, then moved it over so Jeanne could refill it. "Where is your home, if you don't mind me asking?"

"I don't mind. Well...currently me home is Fort Iceblade, but you want to hear about my original home...." She seemed to dodge the question, a little uncomfortable with answering. Jeanne took another sip of her drink.

"It's fine if you don't want to answer." He told her.

"No, it's alright. It's just that I rarely speak of home. I'm from the village of Gauvadon." She revealed.

"Oh your from Evermore...that village right on the border with Farrun, is it not?" The king asked. He was a bit surprised that Jeanne was actually Evermorian, not Jehannian. Though he paid it no mind. Her country of birth hardly mattered when she was fighting for his.

She nodded. "We passed by fairly close to it when we marched through Farrun. I'm glad that we didn't stop by it."

"Why not?" Rob asked. When he saw the look on her face he added. "Sorry I asked, let's just change the subject."

Jeanne finished her mug, then refilled it. "Alright. Tell me about Jehanna, I've barely been to the city once."

Rob smiled, remembering the city where he grew up. Then his smile turned sour when he recalled its current state.

Jeanne picked up on his mood and tried to console him. "Sorry, I didn't mean to remind you of what happened there. Forget I mentioned it."

"It seems we both have things we rather not talk about." He stated. "That's why we have this ale." He said holding up his mug. "Alcohol is good at making us forget bad things."

"Indeed." She agreed.

"The night I hear that my father was executed, I drank until I passed out." He revealed. He smiled a bitter smile. "I didn't know what else to do at the time. I needed to drink to try to forget. It did its job, until I woke up the next day and had to face reality."

The soldier raised her mug. "Well maybe for tonight we can drink and forget the wars and bad memories, give ourselves a little peace of mind for the night."

"I'll drink to that." He said and both drank their whole cups.

Jeanne grabbed the bottle and saw that it was empty. "Damn, seems our drink has come to an end." She got up. "I guess I should go back now."

"No, stay a while longer." Rob urged her. "I have some bottles over in my chest. If you fetch them we will be set for a few more hours." He was enjoying their talk, it was much better than laying there in bed alone without being able to sleep.

The soldier smiled. "Alright, I'll stay." She went over to the king's chest and after opening it, took the bottles and brought them over to the bed.
