Quanil had never really seen a boxing ring before, let alone been in one. "It's good of you to do this for me, Mr. Sunjata ." This was easily the sixth time they'd said something of gratitude to him, but they truly were grateful. This was a promise to be kept and now a god-given quest on top of it. They were overwhelmed with the import of being here and doing this, and his acquiescence meant a lot to them.
They left their pack and staff outside the ring, of course. And, because Miss Maea had said not to mention her, they hadn't. They'd only said they'd been given a quest by Ludo to train here, which was the truth, even if it left out the deeper truth behind it. But they kept their promise to her in their heart.
"But can I ask a question?" And, as usual, they followed that question - one of their all-time favorites - with the question(s) they were wanting to ask. "What's 'Slagveld' mean? And 'VlamVloed'? There's a lot of V's in these words - I assume they're Korofian?" These were questions they'd wondered about with Miss Maea, too, so it was another way of harkening back to that moment on the beach, when she'd asked this of him.
