"Lord Ridgewood, I want to ask this before I've tainted your imagination with my words." Cass started, and Lord Ridgewood sat forward, leaning against his knees. Cass realised, belatedly, that Lord Ridgewood had taken off his sword and had leaned it against the couch. Cass hadn't even considered that a knight like him would have had it on him even in the mansion. He hadn't even noticed it.
How had he not? He knew that Lord Ridgewood trained everyday with it. He had seen several practises. He even knew that he wore that leather belt thing to hold it in place. Had he just not…paid attention to what side he wore it on? Like, where the sword sat? Granted, he had been walking ahead of Lord Ridgewood, so he hadn't even seen where it sat. But…swords weren't quiet, right? He should have heard it, right?
