"Wake up," Beatrice told Luna.
"So early? What time is it? I don't even see the sun" - Luna said sleepyly.
"Do you have anything better to do?"
"Touché" - Luna said and Beatrice looked at her from top to bottom . She didn't know why it made her uncomfortable.
"Do you know fencing?" - Beatrice smiled.
"Maybe a little?" - Luna said and blushed, why did she blush so much?
Beatrice kept looking at her. "Wait a moment, I'll be right back," she told Luna.
" Yeah, right. I'll wait" - she replied. "It's not like I have anything better to do," Luna thought. Shee started to inspect the place, it was small. She slept in a makeshift bed in the dining room, probably the main room was behind that closed door. "Beatrice used to sleep there with her husband, although he passed away , would she feel alone? Is it normal for a person you just met to cause you so many feelings? One thing is certain, she is beautiful. The skin of her fingers is soft," Luna touched her lips as he watched the ceiling.
"Do you feel good?" Beatrice asked.
"What? Ah, yes, yes. Totally, a little hot, summer is here, right? Interesting. Look weapons! How cute!" - Luna was speaking quickly then she stopped and took a big breath of air.
"Hahahahahahaha! You are very funny Luna ... and probably interesting." - She threw some long underpants? Or were they pants? A shirt and finally a sword.
"Let's change and fight!" - Beatrice said
"Do you want me to dress as a man?" - Luna asked confused.
"Do you want to join the revolution or not? From now on I will be your instructor." - Beatrice replied smiling.
"Could you help me? It is difficult for me to take off a dress ... Wait a moment. Since when am I in a nightgown?" - Luna's face was as red as a tomato.
"Since you arrived. Don't worry, you were probably in a state of shock and you didn't realize those things. At least Hippolytus gave you his sack." - Beatrice replied.
" Sorry for being with these looks." - Luna got nervous and Beatrice grabbed her shoulders.
"Calm down, okay? You don't have something that I don't know"- Beatrice looked at Luna- Sorry, I mean, please change. You can do it in my bedroom if it bothers you.
Luna entered the bedroom and sat down. She liked the smell, "was it lemongrass, anise? Now that she realized in her room she had a wooden shelf with glass jars, where she kept everything she needed to prepare her herbal teas, some were empty. She must love his garden. How I wish I was a plant in your garden right now, see the sun every day and see it at dawn while you smile giving me something to drink. The pants is true!" Luna thought.
"Lu ... Diana, do you need help?" - Beatrice said. "How is it supposed to work? It's not the first time you use a pair." Luna thought.
"Diana, are you all right?" - Beatrice opened the door slowly and worried. "Had she told Beatrice her name was Diana? She didn't remember it."
"I just got distracted. I'm ready"- she smiled.
"Chiquita, you must eat more" - Beatrice looked at her, she and tucked her shirt inside her pants. "That's better".
"Promise me you'll eat what I give you from now on." - Beatrice said.
"Okay". - Luna replied.
"Deal" - Beatrice threw the sword and Luna took it - "remember the main characteristic of a good sword is its balance. It must be an extension of you and be able to attack" - she pointed the sword close to her chest - "and defend."
Luna had a leather coat to protect herself from cuts during practice, apart from a metal shell. Beatrice was very concerned about her safety or was very confident in her lethal ability. She was not only good with the sword, she also had a dagger and sometimes used both at the same time making Luna get confused.
" You have to train every day. Be quick and intelligent, you must know how to respond, don't let your opponents cloud you. Only then can you survive, ” Beatrice said.
Although she knew fencing thanks to her father, she never thought she would meet another woman with so much interest in weapons. Every day the admiration for her grew more. And although at first she could not answer, she learned to react and know which was the best suitable angle to gain strength even if the enemy was larger. Clothing was also an important part, a hat, or a cape could be the difference between life and death.
After such strenuous practice, Beatrice gave Luna some water, while helping her remove all her armour.
"I guess it must be difficult to move with all that."- Beatrice commented
"Yes, although I learned a lot. But honestly I am much better than I look."
"I just didn't want to end up in trouble." - Beatrice said
"You or me?" - Luna asked
"I didn't want my house to catch fire you know?"
"What do you mean?" Luna asked.
"Finish your drinking and I'll explain it to you" - Beatrice said as she entered her bedroom and took out a wooden box.
