Daine smiles, more than a bit wistful. "I was always best with a bow, but mine didn't come with me." The only thing that did was the Badger's claw, and while she's grateful to at least have that token, she can't help but feel a little resentful that it - and Kitten, now - are the only pieces of home she has. Granted, her clothes would've stood out terribly, and she's not sure she'd wear them much. But clothes are easy enough to replace. Weapons, she's gathered, are a bit more complicated.
"Not many women back home know how to wield a sword," she adds, looking up at Eowyn curiously. "There's Alanna the Lioness - she's the first Lady Knight we've had in ages, but she had to disguise herself as a boy to manage it." There's a reassuring familiarity about Eowyn, and Daine gets the feeling that she'd be more at home in her realm than Darrow, but the thought of a girl getting a sword once she's old enough to wield it is still jarring. "Are you a knight, too?"
