Companion.
I should have made this clear earlier. Priests do not carry weapons, though some use magic as a defensive weapon. At Rian's school, a 'companion' is someone who has not yet taken vows and who is permitted to carry a sword. A companion is a bodyguard.

Dank
'Dank' means the same today as it did in Middle English, though the word 'damp' is now more common, I suppose. (We won't comment on today's slang usage.) 'Dank' began as a verb, as in 'to moisten,' and likely comes to us from Scandinavia. That 'dank' would be an insult is my own creation, though I don't think it an unlikely usage. (Think, "You're all wet.")
