"It's a relic from my days as a soldier," the woman replied coolly as she entered the room again, having come back to seeing the man taking a close look at her shield. She was quick to fall in place at his side, her hands clasped at her back. In the company of this man, it was easy for Aolani to forget that she dwarfed the others at the temple. Even in the army she had dwarfed many around her...
As she stared I to her reflection mirrored in the shield, Aolani's eyes clouded over. How fierce she must have looked back then, with her shield on her arm and her pole axe in hand, charging ahead to protect her comrades...
With a gentle, almost inaudible sigh, Aolani wrapped her fingers around the sides of the mighty shield and lifted it effortlessly off its wall mount. Her biceps flexed as she lifted it, proof of how muscular the woman was in spite of her delicate appearance.
Working like it was second nature, she strapped the shield to her left arm and took a defensive stance. She looked quite formidable; even her eyes had hardened.
"I've not much use for this shield anymore, to be completely honest," she mused, coming out of the stance to remove the shield from her arm. "Like I said, it's a relic from my past, but should there ever be a need for it, I can still wield it just as I could back then." Aolani gave a soft chuckle to herself as she placed the shield back on the wall.
After polishing off her fingerprints, the angel crossed the room to sit in one of the comfortable chairs, where she crossed one leg over the other as she relaxed. "Food will be brought to us momentarily, so until then make yourself at home."
