Roana's head turned quickly upon hearing another voice. A high-toned sound - a female on the younger side. She was pleased to see her assessment correct when hardened blue eyes came to rest upon the curly-haired youth. She watched as realization seemed to dawn on the girl - Melita she said her name was - about who she was. Roana had seen such an expression cross faces her whole life - the realization that they were standing in front of someone they gave importance too; whether it was because of her name or, as she presumed in this case, because of her actions on the field of battle. She watched as Melita went from boldness to shrinking in on herself, looking at the ground as if it might swallow and save her.
The former captain offered her a warm smile to calm her nerves. Roana was powerful, but no monster.
"It is good to meet you Melita. My name is Roana Steadman." she introduced, gladly giving her full name, willingly removing whatever anonymity she could cling to for the sake of the girl's comfort. "Yes and no." Roana said, looking back at the broken post with a contemplative sigh. "Yes, something in particular, because I've a dead man's last wish upon my shoulders that requires me to act. And no...because I am simply not good enough. Not yet. So I must get stronger, better. It is business and personal." she said with a small smile and looked back at Melita.
"You're out awfully early. What brings you out all this way?"

You don't own me
Don't try to change me in any way

Don't tie me down cause I'd never stay
