[color=ff5000][b]"Oh, I could think of some more skilled had they the opportunity to take part."[/b][/color] He remarked dryly. A damned shame he hadn't managed to enter any tourney over the last two years, thanks in no small part to him always being busy with duties whenever one took place thus far. For the ones that were either close by or major, at least. Minor tournies far away weren't worth the time or trouble, especially on the off chance he lost. Meanwhile, Elias smiled back, somewhat encouraged by the positive attention he was receiving. [b]"But of course! Though at the moment, I'm more concerned about earning my knighthood. All the rest can come after."[/b] [color=ff5000][b]"On that note,"[/b][/color] Renar interjected, smirking slightly. [color=ff5000][b]"We've some time before we head out. You're coming to the training field with me. I want to see just exactly what you've been learning over the past year. Apologies, Dame Serenity. Habit of mine."[/b][/color] [@ERode]
