"Ah... the Immortal Knight!" The Earl of Brennan exclaimed, "Now this is quite a surprise! Why ever have you come to my fair town?"

He paused for a moment, his expression one of befuddlement as Tyaethe placed his hand directly onto her blood-soaked breastplate.

"... If you believe your armor is in need of cleaning, I would be happy to provided the services of my Servants," he declared, with a good-natured smile(though not without confusion, he didn't seem to understand just why Tyaethe had placed his hand upon her armor). As Fanilly recalled, none of this behavior was particularly strange for the Earl Edoric, save for the fact that it was completely out of place in this situation. And yet he looked fully aware of his surroundings, and he was rather young for his mind to be faded already. He was by no means a young man, but he was also not of an especially advanced age either.

"Of course, if you take my offer, perhaps you can ask them where my sword is? I haven't seen it in two weeks, and they insist it is by the side of my throne," Edoric Achter added, "I would have docked their earnings, if not for the fact they seem adamant about it. Perhaps they have been subject to some kind of magic spell?"

Fanilly paused for a moment. Indeed, sheathed and leaning against the throne, was the sword of Edoric Achter. It was an enormous blade, and from what the girl could recall the Earl of Brennan preferred to have it by his side at all times. "... Earl Achter, your blade [i]is[/i] by the side of your throne."

Edoric Achter immediately looked disbelieving, before looking to the side of his throne.

"... I'm certain your mind has not been magically addled as well, young Captain Danbalion, but don't you think playing tricks is unbecoming of your position?" he began, with a hearty laugh. "... For that matter, you have all come here unarmed! How ever could there have been a battle?"

There was no mistaking it. Fanilly was certain, now, that there had been some sort of magical interference in the Earl of Achter's mind. It was the only explanation.

"Uwah!"

Feeree was sent reeling through the air, only to be caught by Kopuro. The fairy quickly held her forehead, wincing.

"Ow ow ow ow ow..."she winced, as her friend stroked at her hair with a frown. Moments later, Kopuro was glaring at the perpetrator.

"Hey! I know Feeree is in idiot, but was that really necessary?!" she called, one arm around her friend's waist as if supporting her(even though they were both still very much in the air, rendering such support largely unecessary). "It's not like she didn't already get it was stupid after she learned that lady was bad!"

For a few moments, Feeree was silent.

"... I-I'm not sure I really want you defending me, Kopuro..." she mumbled, before responding to the question that had been asked of her. "Um... there was a lot of commotion afterwards, so if it was a battle that must have been after she asked me about a good spot."

Meanwhile, a few of the fairies had been scared off by the new arrivals, but for the most part they were rather inquisitively flittering around, investigating the knights who had arrived. A few of them were, perhaps, getting a little too close to pockets and pouches.
