[center][h1][color=lightblue]Galahad Caradoc[/color][/h1] [/center] [hr] [color=lightblue]"I don't understand what is so humiliating about following the rule of law in the country you're visiting..."[/color] Galahad muttered to the party, quiet enough that churl hopefully wouldn't hear it. Though he shrugged in concession, [color=lightblue]"Though I guess we're hardly one to talk. Hopefully they're headed in the opposite direction of us."[/color][hr][h3]At Castle Demet[/h3] Castle Demet was a place Galahad hadn't been to in a long while. For one, the Demets were rather far to the southwest, a considerable distance away from Midgar. There was also the fact that the Caradocs and Demets weren't exactly on friendly terms- Or at least the current respective heads of each house weren't. The Demets views weren't the most popular with several of the more influential Edreni houses. As far as Caradocs and Demets went, they weren't actively hostile to one another- as they were both still Edreni, but their disagreements on how the kingdom should be run were well known. The children were notably less politically inclined than their fathers it seemed. Still, be that as it may, it had been years since Galahad had seen Castle Demet, not to mention Earl or Wulfric. Speaking of sons. Galahad's eyes were half glazed over as he [i]tried[/i] to listen to Wulfric's story. In his defense, he really did try. The first 10 minutes of the stories were interesting- but his attention and interest began to wane as the endless stories and tales hit the 30 minute mark, a braggadocios, likely embellished, one man anthology of past events. That being said, Wulfric's last remark about the Sagramori heir did earn a faint snort from the dragoon. [color=lightblue]"Perhaps the hearts of blightbeasts have valuable properties which you had just destroyed- or perhaps he was shocked that you proceeded to eat your lunch before cleansing your hands?"[/color] Galahad glanced over as Wulfric addressed the Ospreans in their group. [color=lightblue]"If it makes you feel any better, the Osprean representatives we ran into were about as polite."[/color] he offered Wulf, as he noticed Earl Demet finally enter to address them. He decided to mostly let the barbarian comment go- though no doubt there were a few- or several of them that may have agreed with him. [color=lightblue]"I'm not my father, Earl Cadmon,"[/color] Galahad noted, [color=lightblue]"And there are a few less Caradocs to disagree with you these days."[/color] he chuckled as he stood to greet the Earl. [color=lightblue]"Your hospitality is appreciated, Earl Cadmon."[/color] Galahad thanked the Demet lord. [color=lightblue]"I'll have a list of the necessities provided to you before the end of the day."[/color] Galahad glanced around to see if any of the others would want to share rooms with the other, which he doubted. [color=lightblue]"I think individual rooms would be fine. After a few weeks on the road together, I'd assume everyone would want to get [i]away[/i] from each other for a bit. Though we'll take whichever inconveniences you the least."[/color] All in all, their meeting with [i]this[/i] Edreni Lord was going a lot better than their last- though for most of the party this would be their first.
