Birna mentioned that she too wanted to be a renown warrior. Esti held a lofty smile, hoping the woman would be more of a warrior than the other warriors in Imperium. If she had some good competition, there was no way she would get bored or lazy. As if trailing her thoughts, the other woman spoke up, saying they could train together and that they couldn't both remain Libertus forever. Esti would nod an hum in approval, brushing past a few trees heavily, half to mark them and half to scratch her back. They had made decent progress. Their scents would be heavy on this section of the border for some time.
After walking and marking some along the way, Esti turned back to Birna, "You know, we could always make it a bet. First one to the highest tier wins... I dunno, a deer or something." She shrugged, eyeing the border, "How much farther, do you think?" Her eyes turned back to Birna, "Or do you think we should make this an over-nighter?" Esti waited for a reply, not fully stopping, but slowing down to a very leisurely pace. She felt like if she peed any more, she would shrivel up dry.
