Xavier was snapped out of his studies when a guard came into the room. "Sir two men have need to speak with you, one wishes to join the other...." Xavier nods, smirking a bit, and motions for the guards to let them in. The guard bows and let's Damien and Adalbert into the study. Xavier closes his book and looks at the two of them. "Your Damien and Adalbert, the former a lord of a Valmese kingdom, who thought himself the best swordsman in the land, and you a cavalier, son of the hero Stahl and think pretty highly of yourself because of it." He looks the two over "Damien I'm guessing your the one volunteering, and Adalbert you are here because he used your silver tongue to pretend like I wen't out drinking with you. As I recall you took me out, and I carried you home because you got drunk and dragged me into a fight with ten of the other patrons." He smiles at them. "Damien welcome aboard and Adalbert....you too shall be joining us now." Xavier leans against his desk, this he could deal with, making plans for the troops, showing his brilliance, how easy it was for him to size up events. He waited for either of the two to answer.
