003 Strike [Written/Action for Shepherds]

what does strength mean to you? and how does a person become stronger?

[ACTION]
[Asbel sits quietly on one of the crates abovedeck. It's not really clear if he's in some sort of "time out" or if he's here for his own reasons, but what's plain is he doesn't have any intention of moving. A few hours have passed, and he hasn't so much as gotten up to stretch or even gotten up to his usual antics. Instead, the eleven-year-old appears to be thinking hard about something.]

[He said he wanted to become a knight someday; he still does. But what does being a knight really mean? How can he serve a king and protect a whole country full of people when he can't even protect his friends or his own little brother from danger?]

uh. i'm not really sure what that even means.

i've never been afraid of being who i am, you know? at least, i don't think i have. that'd be kind of silly.

Unfortunately, he knew several people who were. I would take it to mean that everyone has to find their own version of strength, their own understanding of how to be strong.

i guess that makes a little more sense. it makes me wonder what my own version is like.

so, how come they were scared in the first place? did other people pick on them or something?
