[NPC] The humdrum life of a castle guard (Mature)

[Eda]

Another uneventful day had her lamenting to herself , wondering just when her strong opponent might finally show themselves . She had even entered her name to be matched up with a potential strong opponent . It was already beginning to get dark too , the sounds of the night filling her ears . The bards going in for the night so the only sounds being the night birds , crickets , locusts , they made a music of their own though . One she was more fond of then the off key and often out of tune lute players in the town . 

She silently made her way to a rooftop , unfurling a bedroll . Night duty was always pretty easy , and she made a habit of laying awake watching the stars . Her ears tuned to any unusual sounds , she could pick up a thief or stalker if they decided to get frisky . They were always such noisy types , rarely was there ever a truly stealthy one . Those who boasted the loudest on the stealthiness amused her somewhat , perhaps a rouge or a vagabond might be her worthy adversary . A thought for a later time she mused , for now she would focus on her duty . The humdrum life of a castle guard she figured , something many a person would find to be glamorous . She would tell them it was quite the contrary , most days were rather ordinary . 

Her skilled ears picked up some movement , getting to her feet to see what was going on . Seeing an unusual gathering not far from the castle , she kept her eyes on it . Wondering just what they were up to , however she would remain quiet . Watching and listening to confirm they were suspicious , she would not want another incident like last time . They still had not found the barmaid or the apple dumplings from that one .
