<span class="mu-i">“My apologies if this is presumptuous, sir.”</span> The servants of the Order lodge have only just offered you a seat in the lounge when you’re approached by a brown-haired man wearing a padded gambeson. <span class="mu-i">“I couldn’t help but notice the style of yours arms, the bear and chains. You wouldn’t be the knight that they’re calling ‘The Storm Bear’, would you?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“It’s hardly an official title, but some have called me that yes.”</span> You shake the man’s proffered hand, already liking the firmness of his grip and friendly manner. <span class="mu-i">“Sir Emile of House Andrei. To whom do I owe the pleasure?”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Oh! Milord!”</span> Mikail starts, jolting like a deer that’s heard the snap of a twig. <span class="mu-i">“He’s… it’s von Rhum. As in -the- von Rhum. The Terror of Yost, the one what kilt a dozen dragon assassins what went for the King at Chalét.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Calm yourself boy, I recognise the arms. Who in the wide kingdom doesn’t?”</span> You nod politely at the knight and cast your eyes over the signature sphinx on a red field, noting the two gold partitions. <span class="mu-i">“But, unless the years have been very kind to him, it’s not the Red Rhum himself. My apologies for my squire’s overenthusiasm, sir. I’m afraid you have the advantage of me.”</span>
<span class="mu-i"> “Quite alright, Charles von Rhum is indeed my old man. Bailley is the name.”</span> Sir von Rhum graces your still gawping squire with a friendly wink. <span class="mu-i">"All the bards go on about his charge at Yost, but the Chalét incident isn’t nearly as well known. Someone has been reading up on his Roiguard histories.”</span>
<span class="mu-i">“Yes, but he should also have read the bits about Roiguard being versed in courtly manners.”</span> Mikail blushes furiously at your comment, but at least the boy recalls his manners and remembers to keep his mouth shut while the nobles are talking.
<span class="mu-i">“Oh please, think nothing of it.”</span> The Trident knight waves off the concern at your squire’s breach of etiquette. The wave also serves to summon a servant with a refreshing drink. <span class="mu-i">“Neither of us mark me as strangers to the intemperance of youth. What brings you to Langland, Sir Andrei?”</span>
