Soma would stare at the old hag after following James from behind the curtain, he couldn't stand her, she always smelt like his Grandmother's attic, which was horrific it say the least. Once the messenger burst through the door and gave James the letter he noticed the look on his lover's face, his usual blank attitude changed to worry, and his worries were confirmed when James told him to go fetch his Sword and Shield from the Blacksmith. Soma stayed to listen tot he reason why and when he did he felt a piece of him break, he looked at the royals, the one time he actually wanted them to be hard on James and tell him there should be another way they clam up. Soma bowed to James, "Right away My Lord." was all he said before running through the group of Royals and guards, when he finally hit the ground outside the castle he started to cry.
Soma always knew there was a slight chance James would be killed in battle, but his fears were always saved by the Royals telling James to let his men handle it for him, but this time he knew he could lose James forever. Soma shook his head as he made it to the Blacksmith, he had to have faith in James, faith that their love would give him the strength to beat his opponent once and for all. Soma would tell the Blacksmith he needed James' shield and sword, and was given them promptly, the blacksmith always protected the King's sword and shield, polishing them and making sure they were always battle ready. Soma would hurriedly carry the sword and shield on his back in a leather casing all the way back to the castle.
