This far from the homeland, few of the squires present pay enough heed to breeding and lineage among their number to dismiss a fellow of the same age and occupation. That afternoon you are pleased to see Mikail and several other squires laughing together in the courtyard. Playing rough-and-tumble scrumball and fleeing at the sound of the scolding words of a nun put off at the dust being kicked up on their drying laundry is hardly knightly training. But the boy must first be that, a boy, before the weight of the world sets too heavily on his shoulders.
He appears to have made a fast friend with one of the Sir Cedric squires, a young dark-haired boy by the name of Riley Younger. Those two, along Sir van Brooksvale’s troublesome ginger youth that you wouldn’t let stray near a pie cooling on the windowsill let alone a warhorse, get up to enough little adventures in their short time together that you consider reminding your squire that this is all still holy ground.
======================================
>This tomfoolery is not appropriate for a delegate of House Andrei. Mikail is an extension of yourself, and thus must act accordingly. While you do not take umbrage with your squire politely engaging with the squires of these particular knights, you remind him to conduct himself as if he were representing you, and to see those squires as reflections of their own sires in turn. [Haughty]
>Boys will be boys, Almighty knows they’ll have precious little enough time for it elsewhere. Well you remember your brother Damien and yourself getting up to all sorts of antics, and fond memories they were. If Father could turn a blind eye to you two pinching a honeycrumb apple from the kitchen, you can let the innocent misadventures of Mikail and his new friends slide. Within reason. [Hearty]
>That behaviour may be all well and good by the stables or out in the streets of a less foreigner and friendlier town, but in a crowded cloister of nuns and warrior monks this rambunctious simply will not do. This is holy ground, and you will remind Mikail to conduct himself with the appropriate gravity whilst he is a guest here. They can take their rollicking elsewhere. [Idealist]
