Fleuri was not surprised that he would not be pursuing the sorceress- he was not a mage, nor did he have experience battling them. 
 On the other hand, he was unsure what to do in the meantime, as defending a city was not Fleuri's area of expertise.  He had fought in enough melees to lead a squad of men-at-arms, perhaps, but organizing a siege defense was a bit beyond him.  Consequently, when the knights were swarmed by excited children, he was without an excuse to leave, and before he knew it, he was surrounded.

"How many orcs did you kill, sir knight?"

"Did you kill any trolls?"

"How do I get to be an Iron Rose Knight when I grow up?"

"Can I see your sword?"

[i]I suppose this is what I'll be doing[/i], Fleuri resignedly concluded, looking down at all the curious little faces bombarding him with questions.  [i]I suppose it could be worse.[/i]

"Settle down, settle down everyone," he spoke up, quieting the group as he stepped back.  "Gather round, I'll answer your questions, but one at a time, please."
