Oh yeah, you can feel free to brainstorm/describe how you'll do your post here, or it can be improvised without discussion. I don't mind, if there's something we need to fix, I can let you know in OOC.
I started the post in IC, so you can have your character answer his question. Provide some exposition, while describing where they're strolling to. You can also incorporate other types of plot advancements as well. Maybe they encounter a scenario, where the soldier needs to use the sword to save a merchant from bandits, etc. It all depends how you wish to take the plot. Like what type of scenes do you want to craft? Once you figure those out, I think that's what you should write in your post, and I'll respond and add my own plot advancements into the mix.
