The Royal Knights tend to be the eccentric sort, so it didn’t really surprise Malakaus that Felix may have gone and picked a fight. He doesn’t approve of it, but it doesn’t surprise him. Apparently the bald stranger never realized what sort of strength he had up until today, and Felix intends to recruit this man as a squire of sorts. Sighing, Malakaus really had no choice but to accept the royal knight’s eccentricities. [color=firebrick]”Right then. Evidently you’re unfamiliar with your… New found blessing.”[/color] Malakaus sighed and motioned towards the street. [color=firebrick]”If Sir Felix allows this, then you’re in no trouble. Even so, you… Frankly, you look like a peasant. As a bodyguard of a royal knight, you ought to look the part. Some training to get you accustomed to your power would also be necessary. And, as a foreigner, you'll need to be educated in our country's culture and customs. That is of course if you wish to accept Sir Felix's offer. Otherwise… I do have a job that could use your ability.”[/color] Now that he thought about it, this would be a great chance to try and recruit Felix for his quest as well. While strong arms and skilled warriors would be needed to defend the village, a healer of Felix’s ability would be just as useful. Malakaus looked over to the stranger who had come to Duncan’s aid, looking him over. He was lightly armed, possibly a mercenary. Seemed a bit too scrawny for his taste, but Malakaus wasn’t going to be picky. So long as the boy can follow orders and accepts that this isn’t exactly hired work then perhaps he could join. [color=firebrick]”And you there, boy. If you’re a sellsword then perhaps I have a use for you as well. First however, let’s leave this alleyway and find somewhere more hospitable. I believe there is an inn not too far we can speak further.”[/color] As Malakaus left the alleyway, he saw a familiar face: Ease, the neurotic man from yesterday. In the chaos of everything that happened Malakaus nearly forgot him, but now that he saw him again his name came back to the orc. [color=firebrick]”Ease? What are you doing here?”[/color] Malakaus approached him near his alleyway, where the knight saw from the corner of his eyes two little orphaned girls. Didn’t take long for Malakaus to come to his own conclusions and give ease the stink eye through his helmet. [color=firebrick]”Ease…”[/color] [@liferusher][@Letter Bee][@FelixArgyle][@Sir Lurksalot][@ZekariVoblis] [hr] [center][img]http://i.imgur.com/MR5RyzW.png[/img] [color=FORESTGREEN][b][h3]ATISHA ELUVIAN[/h3][/b][/color][/center] Atisha stood up with concern in her eyes. She knew that asking the girl to recall yesterday may be horrific for her, but she didn’t expect it to be this traumatizing. But perhaps it was Atisha’s fault; this girl wasn’t as cynical and jaded to the world as Atisha was. Perhaps unlike the reengaged elf, Blanc still had her innocence. The spirit used some sort of spell to calm and eventually put Blanc asleep and spoke to Atisha. He seemed to know what happened yesterday as well, and was far more lucid than Blanc was. Bowing her head Atisha was grateful that someone could help her. [color=forestgreen]”Thank you for you help. As I said, I don’t remember the details. I remember fighting a man in a mask. He had a golden sword but before I could strike him down I… Well, you know. Everything happened to fast, and I feel as though it didn’t end there. I need to know who else was there. You mentioned a mad woman, but the one I fought was a man. Who else was there? And who was it that killed me?”[/color] [@Seirei No Hai]
