"Sworn to serve the gods. That is every septon and septa you have ever met." He replied.

"Yes. Well, septons and septas are like a brotherhood too," she agreed. "But I'm curious about the warrior brotherhoods. Um...like the Warrior's Sons. Do they take the same vows as a septon?"

"I believe their vows are different, but cover the same grounds." Geryn said, "The warriors sword should shine when you are done."

"Of course," she said. "A dull sword is a sad thing."
She paid special attention to the sword, scrubbing it hard.
"But maybe you could tell me a little about those vows. I thought about becoming a septa when I was a little girl."

"And you have never studied the vows? Which of the seven are closest to your heart?" Geryn asked as he watched her honor the warrior.

"The Maiden and the Warrior," she said. "Most girls love the Maiden and the Warrior is strong and brave, and fights to protect the weak."

"You want to protect the weak? Maiden warrior?" Geryn asked.

"Yes. I know it is the duty of a knight to protect women, and the weak, but I think women should help themselves too," she said seriously.

"Of course. Only a fool walks through the world thinking the seven will protect them." Geryn replied, "You need to be ready yourself. It is why we are gifted with minds, and arms."

"Yes. So I would like to do something to actively help other women," she said. "Women protecting other women, that sort of thing."

"Under the control of the High Septon?" Geryn asked.

"Possibly, but we would be more like the Night's Watch, ideally. Sworn chiefly to ourselves. We would seek to honour the Seven, of course, and pay our respects to the High Septon, as all loyal followers of the Faith must, but I would desire the freedom to move about the kingdom as we desire, and help all who need us."

"You would want the support and funding of the church, but not the control. Is that not a silly dream?" Geryn asked.

"Maybe it is. But...the Poor Fellows used to wander the kingdom, didn't that? So I was thinking it would be somewhere between them and the Warrior's Sons," she explained.

"The poor fellows did, but still followed the commands of the high septon." He titled his head, "There is an order to things."
