    Summary

    “Are you going to kill this one, or shall I do it?” Lance gestured at the monk with his sword.

    “No,” Keith said, crouching down to look at the man more closely. Those steely gray eyes flicked over to him, surprised and cautious, but also curious. Keith smiled, feeling the war paint and drying blood on his face crinkle under the movement. “I’m keeping this one. Alive. I have a feeling he will be very useful.”

    The monk’s eyes widened with shock. Keith called for a rope, and when a length was tossed to him, he bound the man’s hands in front of him.

    “What is your name?” He asked, curious.

    “I’m… I am called Shiro,” the man replied. He was apparently wise enough to not resist the ropes, with several armed warriors standing around him with weapons still drawn and bloody.

    “Shiro.” Keith tried out the unfamiliar sounds on his tongue. He liked it. “I am Keith.”
