[center][h1][color=lightblue]Galahad Caradoc[/color][/h1] [/center] [hr] Despite the surprise intrusion by the Skael spymaster, dinner went, by all accounts, rather smoothly as far as dinner with nobles in Edren went. Granted, this was only their second, but in comparison to the first this one ended quite well. True to his word, tailors came by and by the morning the Kirins had ready made cold weather clothing. Galahad's took the form of a rather thick cloak that was rather aerodynamic for a cloak. Well, as much as a heavy cloak could be. It was no doubt more limiting than without, but better than Galahad expected. With their wagon loaded up with fresh provisions as well, Galahad offered the Demets a short, courteous bow before they left. [color=lightblue]"Earl Cadmon, you have my thanks. I am grateful to have received such hospitality."[/color] He said, he offered them a wry grin. [color=lightblue]"Hopefully, the next time we meet, it will be under better circumstances."[/color] Their travels saw them to Lunaris, a place Galahad had even less experience with than the Demet Marches. He rarely made his way west, and when he did it was rarely to go to Lunaris. For good reason too, this place gave him the creeps. Pulling back on Korin's reins, Galahad was all too happy to let Rudolf lead them through this stretch. [color=lightblue]"The faster the better, Rudolf."[/color] he remarked. As they came within sight of a lone pillar, Galahad raised an eyebrow. Rudolf had been cagey about his past all this time. That he was finally ready to let them all know was perhaps the best thing that could've come from a place like this- But unfortunately it was not to be. The Kirins were once again set upon, this time by some sort of shadowy jester. [color=lightblue]"And here I thought jesters were supposed to be funny."[/color] Galahad growled as he leaped off of Korin, his halberd twirling through the air as he threw it, intercepting one of the crawling arms of shadow. He nodded, Rudolf's advice was solid- get him into the light. Unfortunately, there were plenty of shadows around them- ancient ruins tended to do that. Galahad paused, and glanced over at Éliane and Chisato, two that he knew had explosives. [color=lightblue]"If either of you ever fancied destroying valuable artifacts or things Edreni culture finds important, now is the time!"[/color] Galahad barked, [color=lightblue]"If we can't drag this thing into the light, then we can just bring the light to it."[/color] With that, Galahad sprinted forward, using wide sweeps of his halberd to intercept any twisting shadowy arms heading Miina's way.
