"...then the Captain led us in a cavalry charge at the orcs and trolls.  We cut the orcs down, and I broke my lance in a troll's skull," Fleuri narrated, the children hanging on his every word.  Truth be told, things got confusing in the heat of the battle, so he would have to fill in the gaps, which in this case would probably mean embellishing a bit.  It didn't matter, it's not like he needed to get every detail correct.

"What happened next?  What did the Captain do?" one of the children asked.

"The Captain sought out the orc chief and engaged him in combat, while the rest of us set to work fighting off the trolls and orcs," The knight answered.  "One by one the trolls began to fall, but then an evil mage fired a wicked spell at the Captain.  But just before it reached our valiant leader, one of our mages redirected the magic beam into a troll, turning it to ash."

It was at this point that he noticed Lilianna standing there, staring daggers at him.  His countenance immediately changed to that of concern.

"Dame Belwiss," he spoke shakily, "I did not see you there.  As you can see, I'm...err...helping to keep garrison morale up," he explained.  It was at this point that an idea popped into his head, an idea that he would probably regret later on.

"Children," he said, turning back to his audience, "This woman is Dame Belwiss, the Captain's trainer and teacher.  If you want to know anything about the Captain, she's the one you want to ask."
