Though judging by her comment of bedding, she likely did. [color=ff5000][b]"He's still a squire, and we're in a time of ostensible peace. Actual experience is hard to come by when we've been putting out the bush fires. Last I evaluated him, though, he isn't bad. A few more years of training and experience and he'd be Crown Knights material."[/b][/color] He said simply, to which Elias sighed. [b]"But not the Iron Rose, eh, elder brother?"[/b] [color=ff5000][b]"We'll see, won't we? At the very least, you aren't going to do worse than Felix. As for the other understanding, well."[/b][/color] Renar shot his younger brother a teasing grin. [color=ff5000][b]"He isn't completely innocent, at least. How is that merchant's daughter I helped introduce you to last festival season? Elise, was it? You bed her yet?"[/b][/color] Elias flushed again, but answered nonetheless, awkwardly rubbing the back of his head. [b]"We've not gotten that far, though I haven't seen her in a while. I'm kept rather busy as Sir Galmeth's squire."[/b] [color=ff5000][b]"You'll get there. Just try not to get her with child."[/b][/color] Renar patted Elias on the shoulder in commiseration before glancing back to Serenity. [color=ff5000][b]"Does that answer the question to your satisfaction?"[/b][/color] [@ERode]
