Wallace stopped for a moment, going through the list of names and faces in his head just to make sure before he replied to the man. "You've come at just the right time, actually.

He raised a finger didactically and continued. "There will be a melee, an archery competition, and a joust, of course, but you'll want to ask the clerks at the tournament for a better explanation." He smiled broadly as he redirected the work on someone else. "Do you have any further questions Sir Berning?"

"Expert Ex-diplomat, at your service milady." Never one to miss a chance to inebriate, he celebrated their guest's arrival with another mock toast and a mouthful of booze.
