Royal Ball

[Snake Plissken 637]

*Artorus looks over at Thorenir and smiles "It hasn't been too long, only been a few months." He sips his wine, sloshing it around in his mouth before swallowing it. "Your son and Athirius are safe in Winter Hall, yet we must speak of your...di-" Piper nudges him in the arm and tilts her head towards the children dancing, and he smiles, the directing his gaze to Piper.

"He has that certain Elendil charm all the men in our family have." He smiles and looks back to Thorenir and whispers to him in a hushed, rough tone.

"Your broken oath to the Teuton's...you have dishonored yourself, Cousin, I hope you know what will come of this, we will speak more of this soon." Artorus finishes his wine and looks back to Piper, smiling "So My Lady Silverblade, how do you and Ser Mizu fare?"

Thorenir cuts off Artorus at the word 'broken' to make sure no more is said, "Not here cousin, we can speak of that somewhere else....", he says in a hushed tone.

*Lilibeth turns and gives Patrick a smile. The little girls twists her hair around her finger. She begins to speak respectively and does a little bow to him.*

"Thank you for your concern Prince Horen.

Well, from what I've read, this man here is challenging Grandpa Boiendl to a fight."

*Elizabeth tends to read... a lot. She looks up at Patrick with her twinkling eyes waiting for a response.*

Patrickblinks a few times, thinking then letting her talk with her friend then says when she returns

"Why would anyone wish to duel Boiendl? They would only do so to hurt an old man to show strength, but would be weak for doing such a hanus act. Only the weak of character and cowardly pick on the physically weak. And besides, Boiendl is in his prime, I have seen him charge at the front of lines, he would kick the challenger's ass"

He gives a smirk and pats the girl's shoulder "Now don't worry. If this man challenges Boiendl more I will have him locked up."

Godfrey Motions for the His Royal Guards to allow his uncle to pass threw the

stair way reaching to were Godfrey is sitting on a balcony overlooking the ball room.

Eze'kiel stands and walks over. He bows before Godfrey and steps to the side of him. He talks out of ear shot of the others, "I'm going on an expedition inte' Karik, yer' majesty. Where te' drakes were first comin' out of. I intend te' find treasure n' eggs n' goodies... but I guess we'll see what we uncover, aye? I intend te' tell ye' what I find, give ye' a gift perhaps."

He chuckled, he crossed his arms. "What say ye?"

*Lilibeth still quite shocked from the kiss, though it was only on the forehead looks up to Patrick.*

"H-he already challenged Boiendl when he dropped the gauntlet, Prince Horen. Anway, I like your armor, very sophisticated indeed."

*She swishes her hair still deep in thought and biting her lip.*

[Nummy 413]

Piper smiles brightly seeing her daughter turn bright red, hiding the sadness that Artorus's question brings her. She straightens her dress, keeping her eyes on her Daughter,

"Mizu and I are well.. he just.. has work",

she sighs deeply and shakes the feelings away.

"Did you enjoy the dance Derrek?"

She giggles and winks at him.

*She swishes her hair still deep in thought and biting her lip.*

"So Boiendl, an innocent old man, and Pope, has been struck?"

He shakes his head

"Have the man arrested, for he has commited a crime, and also, thank you for the compliment, my father made this. It is my family armor"

He smiles at her

"I am afraid Boiendl hasn't answered to the challenge. Anyways the armor is very ornate, and I like it. Suits you better than any noble silks would."

Patrick gives a laugh

"We think alike then, child. What is your name?"

[Goldd 126]

Patrick gives a laugh

"We think alike then, child. What is your name?"

*She grins up at him kindly and sheepishly. She continues to twist her hair around her finger.*

"I am Elizabeth Silverblade. My mother and Father are Piper and Mizu."

"I am Elizabeth Silverblade. My mother and Father are Piper and Mizu."

Patrick gives a smirk

"Ahh, you're a Silverblade, a good family. I hope you do your name proud, Elizabeth"

He pats her shoulder and reaches to his finers, taking off a gold ring and handing it to her

"You keep that, I have another and it's rather new so there is little sentimental value to me, but there might be some sentimental value in it for you"

He smiles

"Oh, I will do my name proud."

*She looks at the ring happily and in wonder, this being her second very valuable gift from a person other than her family.*

"Thank you so much! It's beautiful. Someday I would love to paint a large portrait of you and hang it somewhere where everybody can see! I paint really well you know."

*She gives him a sincere and very happy grin and does another little bow.*

"Thank you again!"

[Goldd 126]

He smiles at her and then goes to walk around

*Elizabeth waves to Patrick happily. She puts on the ring on her right hand, and makes up her mind that she will paint Patrick on a big canvas.*

"Bye!"

[Old Man Boiendl 1454]

That, is a lie. I did not expect a man such as yourself, to break such an important agreement of honor. You have forced my hand unfortuanly. He says as he goes into one of his pockets and pulls something out.

He pulls out a white gauntlet and throws it on the ground.

I DEMAND SATISFACTION!

Chose your weapon, will it be a sword, or a polearm?

"You notice Shas´O Kais Ishikawa, the father of this contender, approaching."

[swords we RP kill hetogether, polearms we just injure]

Looks at Akimao and says "Go away." He then makes a motion with his hands to send him on his way. Begins thinking in his head "Crazy children these people are, wishing to duel old men. Crazy times.." He turns away and hands his empty wine glass to a servant, carefully taking another and having a sip.

[Braehn Elendil An'Hiraeth 474]

*Artorus opens his mouth, getting ready to say something to Thorenir. "W-" He is cut off by Derrek. As Derrek explains to Artorus, he smiles and sighs deeply. He looks down to meet his gaze.

He notices how tall Derrek has grown, almost as tall as his father. He smiles and says."My boy, we are counting on you. You are your father's heir, and will one day take my place. We will await your return, as well as the return of your men."

Artorus hugs his grandson, pulling him close. He let's go and says coldly "Remember our words, Brave men do Brave deeds, this does not mean I want you to do anything foolish. Come back to us."
