Thankfully it wasn’t something sleazy like a brothel or something else she knew that those of lesser morals tended to visit within her group. [color=gold] “Thank god it wasn’t a brothel this time. Damn that Klaus,” [/color] Maria whispered to herself. Though she did expect a certain amount of excellence from her subordinates, it wasn’t unbecoming of individuals under her command to play small tricks on the young knightess captain. If it was the case, considering she was before company rather than by herself in this case, she would have punished them harshly. Well, even if she was by herself, she probably would have punished them harshly. She had to keep her appearances up, no? Outside of her regular armor, Maria’s clothing choice was rather simple in design. She wore a black shawl with a scarf around her neck, a red, ornate overcoat with double breast buttons that stretched the length vertically, topped off by a skirt that matched the royal red of the overcoat. However, despite her clothing change, Maria had her blade at her side in the event she would need it. Even in casual outings, one must be prepared if they are to live by the blade. Even if she wasn’t wearing her armor, the blade hanging beside her waist was the show of her resolve; to protect those who were unable to protect themselves. Maria was hardly seen without her armor outside of her base, as her “strolls” through the city tended to be on her patrols rather than anything romanticized. Even within her armor, Maria exuded a certain aura of nobility. Her speech pattern tended to be rather clean, and her adherence to helping others could be considered a “noble endeavour”. Which is why Maria, and by extension the Iron Bell Knights tended to be a rather popular brunch in town, as Maria tended to act in a kind and helpful manner towards those around her, and harsh in punishment when it came to subversive activity. However, the girl next to Maria had her own charm, her nearly ethereal appearance seemed almost like a fae of sorts, lulling around in some sort of “knowledged nothingness” that seemed to convey a degree of understanding about her. Perhaps that is what made Maria have the feeling of “needing to protect’ Shiina. It was almost as if she was an animal to some degree, defenseless and simple, but her understanding of the world around her and the application of her genius was a bit unknown to Maria. [color=gold] “You may order anything you wish to do. I believe you understand our language? If there is anything you do not understand, I shall assist you in comprehension,” [/color] Maria said with a smile, genuine seeming. [color=gold] “Fear not. I may not seem much, but I am the heiress to a rather sizable fortune.” [/color] [hr] [center] [h1] [color=00aeef]Klaus z Litic[/color] [img] http://i.imgur.com/aVjNWWL.jpg?1 [/img] [/h1] [/center] [center] [h2] Royal Capital Lugnica [/h2] [/center] [@6slyboy6] [color=00aeef]“So you’re the asshole that made my job a lot harder than it needed to be,”[/color] A voice came from the doorway of the room where Grian had been instructed to wait. There stood a man with his back pushed up against the door frame of the room’s entrance. The man appeared to be one of the knights of the Iron Bell, judging solely upon his appearance, though he didn’t seem to have the same sort of [color=00aeef]“They called me back from patrol because of your little stunt. Someone has ta’ care for the ones you incapacitated. But you’d think that someone [/color] Judging by that statement, it was likely that this man was a doctor for the Iron Bell Knights, though due to his appearance and his attire, one could presume instead of a “traditional doctor” he could be chalked down more to a “combat medic” of sorts. Though these individuals tend to have varied effects, of which tend to stay upon the “ineffectual” side of things. However with the inclusion of magics, one could overcome most deficiencies within the confines of a “mobile medic”. One can presume that if he had studied a form of medicine in the world that it was likely he had the workings of a mage over that of general practice. After all, the position of knight was that of a “dog of war” ready to sick at a moment’s notice, and such would lessen the need for logistics and lower reliance on supplies for basic injury. [color=00aeef]“I had a date in town after my patrol with a cute farm girl , but ya’ kinda screwed me out of that.” [/color] With a long sigh, the medic-cum-knight took a deep breath and began to rationalize the situation he was in and decided to speak once more after a short pause. [color=00aeef]“Sorry, just thought I had to blow off a bit of steam. I heard it was an accident, but that doesn’t mean I won’t bust you about it. “Sis told me to go wait with you until Maria gets back from whatever she is doing.”[/color] the knight said, exiting his relaxed position with his back to the doorway and beginning the enter the room, walking towards the demihuman in the middle of it. [color=00aeef]“The name’s Klaus.” [/color] Klaus extended his hand towards Grian friendly gesture with a grin on his face, waiting for the other to react.
