Nadine was nervous. And excited. And terrified. Man, it was hard to put a label on her emotions at this point. The Knights of Excalibur had just finished their march and were waiting for the battle to begin. She looked at the comrades around her and wished she knew them better. She also wished the battle lines weren't organized by your rank. If they weren't, she might have been able to find a place close to Morgana.
Oh well. Now she just wanted it to start already. The waiting time before a fight was the worst. There wasn't space to warm up and you really just had to stand there. So she tried to, but she couldn't just stand still so she started bobbing up and down. Might as well keep her legs warmed up, even if it made her look ridiculous.

Rodrigo was walking through the ranks of the Knights of Purity, on his way to his special location. The Grand Prior had come here early today- as soon as he knew where the battle would take place- and scoped things out. He'd chosen a specific, out-of-the-way hill for Rod and Tarin to set up their special camp. The camp was set up, but he'd come down to talk to the Grand Prior for a moment about the plan. He looked at the people around him and laughed derisively. They had no idea what they were in for. Sure, most of these Knights had been on raids before, but battles? No way. They were in for a surprise. The good ones would learn quickly and survive. The others ... well he hadn't bothered to get to know the new recruits yet for a reason. Then he saw Nadine. He knew Morgana liked her, so he tried to stay on her good side. He decided to take a small detour. Even if it made him a little late, it wouldn't matter. He wasn't needed at the beginning of the battle after all. "Hey Nadine. How are you feeling about this? It's your first real battle, isn't it? I mean, not including those sneaky raids you're always organizing," he said with a smile, wanting her to know that he meant it as a compliment.

Nadine turned quickly when she heard someone approaching. Sure, she was with the Knights of Purity, but they were not above pulling pranks on one another. She'd been pranked too many times to not be wary. It was Rodrigo Cabrera. No worries there. Apparently he was "weathered" enough that such childish things were beneath him. Honestly, Nadine didn't really care for Rodrigo at all, but his presence meant no one would try to mess with her, so she smiled in greeting. Then he spoke. Nadine didn't really have a reason to dislike the man, but she hated being talked down to, which was what he was doing. She forced herself to keep her smile in place. She didn't want him to know how much he annoyed her. "Rodrigo," she greeted with a nod. "I'm actually pretty excited. And I wouldn't consider this my only real battle. Sure, it's the only one with almost all the Knights of Purity involved, but each skirmish with the dragons is a battle, even a "sneaky raid" as you call them. I've been on enough of those to consider myself confident about what is going to happen. This isn't going to be a problem," she told him her final opinion, hoping she hadn't offended him. Not that it would be a terrible thing, but Nadine preferred to make allies rather than enemies even though sometimes she let her mouth run away with her. Oops. Rodrigo Cabrera

Rodrigo chuckled, liking the girl's spunk. Granted, she was wrong. She didn't know what it was like to fight in a big battle like this. There were a million differences between the battle that was about to commence and her skirmishes. Still, what was the use in fighting with her? The only thing that might come of that is Morgana finding out somehow, which he did not want. He smiled, "Very well, I believe you. It seems like you already know the best trick about succeeding in a battle," he walked around her slowly, looking her up and down. Once he was behind her, he brushed her hair away and leaned down to whisper in her ear. "Confidence. Make sure you don't lose it,"he teased. He wasn't sure what she would think of this, but he was absolutely positive that it would be entertaining and that was what he wanted at the moment. Distraction from the boredom of the wait.

Nadine rolled her eyes. It was like he was trying to give her advice without giving her advice. Adding the fact that he was being so weird. She stepped forward and turned to look at him. What did he think he was doing? "Don't worry about it. I'm good," she told him, hiding her slight annoyance. "So what are you doing here? I mean, you missed all the training for this battle, I thought you were going to skip out," she commented lightly as she looked around. Nadine was more curious than she wanted to admit, but she didn't want him to know that. She just wanted to know what he was up to. She knew something was going on, she just didn't know what.

Rod kept his expression straight. He could tell that he was annoying Nadine, or that something was wrong with her. One of the two. Maybe her nerves really were getting the best of her, though he could tell she would never admit to it if that were the case. Then she asked her question and Rod fought to hide his annoyance. Sure, he knew that some would have noticed his absence during preparations for this battle, but he hadn't imagined that they might think it was cowardice keeping him away! The fact that Nadine was saying this to him meant that Morgana might feel somewhere along the same lines. Something had to be done. "I'm on a special assignment from the Grand Prior," he told her quietly. He didn't want others to overhear them, but he also didn't want people thinking he was a coward. He wasn't. He was just doing the most important preparation for the battle. "I've been preparing for it over the last few months but no one noticed because we weren't planning any major battles until now. Don't worry, pretty soon everyone will see what I've been up to," he knew he was saying too much, but he wasn't doing it for her. He was reassuring himself. Pretty soon everyone would know all the work he'd put into this, how much he believed in the cause. It was almost time. Nadine Blaire Adler

Nadine looks at Rodrigo suspiciously. She wasn't sure if she really believed him, but then again ... why shouldn't she? It sounded like she'd see what was really going on pretty soon and what reason would he have to lie to her? Then again, he did like being looked up to, so he might be embellishing a little to try and impress her, but that didn't make sense either. Unless he wanted her to talk him up to Morgana, who he so obviously cared for. Whatever. She didn't understand him. Then the entire area became silent. Everyone was staring at the sky and she saw many worried faces. "They're here," she whispered as she too searched the sky for the elusive dragons. She thought she could see something in the sky above her, but that might be her eyes playing tricks on her. Then she heard a roar and lights were lit and the battle begun. She turned to Rod, her eyes wide with adrenaline and excitement. "You'd better go do your important thing then. See ya!" She took off towards the nearest fight, wanting to help out. Rodrigo Cabrera

Everything went silent and Rod heard her whisper. He, too, looked up at the sky. She was right. The dragons had arrived and he had to go. He had a job to do, as soon as Soren gave the signal. He couldn't be dallying here, he had to go. A moment later, the fight began and Rod watched as Nadine took off running toward a nearby fight. He could see the excitement and anticipation in her eyes and recognized it. She would be fine. Not that he cared, but it was an interesting thing for him to realize. He, on the other hand, had more pressing matters to attend to. For one, he needed to get to his dragon. (He would never get used to the way that sounded) Nadine Blaire Adler(the end?)
