You decided to speak to the Scotsman a bit more, after all the short lad and you had to kill eachother soon so you better get acquinted with it. You told him.
-Thank you for this adress, you are from the city ? Or you know it well ? How did you came for the tournament ?
-Nah, nah, I was here sometimes, but I'm from the hills in the North of Bifuria... The mountains on the north of the North March, the Emperors when they killed tha barbarians there, gave lands to good dwarven folk, so they could fortify it against the barbarians who were pushed back to the tundra. Heh... My clan is here. The tournament, i'm here for the bitches.
You reddened.
-I beg your pardon ? The...
-Yes, the lassies, I want to be seen as a good dwarf, so when there is no war but to the far south, winning tournaments can give me a bride. There is far more male dwarves than lasses so I have to impress ya understand. I want to have a son, named Tordek too, like my father and meself !
-Oh... So you court a noble lady...
-Nah, I will choose once I'm famous...
You raised an eyebrow, and then tried to change the subject, this barbarian clearly had not learned about courteous love.
-And so you came on your ram... What a silly idea ?!?
-Wot ! Ye are mocking my ram again ! I shall....
He raised his fist, his friend did it too, but their fists even if raised high, were lower than your head.
-Let us say that I am simply surprised for seeing that mount. I have never seen it before, it seems strange to me to want to joust on a beast slower and smaller than a horse.
-Horses are too big for us dwarven folk !
His companion added.
-And have ye tried to use a horse on the mountains, the goats can climb, hah ! Mountain cavalry they are !
You were quite surprised by this, but thinking about it, if their country was made of hills. It could make sense. Horses were better on flat terrain but still.
-But they are smaller, how did you plan to joust with this ?
-With bigger armor !
-But it cannot stop you from being unhorsed !
You told, effectively, even if it will be better after falling, a better armor will not help you win, merely survive. The answer of the stubborn scottsmen surprised you the most, il was a long silence, a way to say that they had no idea. You decided to change the subject.
-Whatever... What is important is that we can't duel, and that, good sirs, is inacceptable. Be assured that I shall do all that is possible to correct this judicial mistake.
-Yeah, dam knife ears ! Dey mock us behind aoer backs !
The other, Borri, nodded.
-Always lyin'n'cheatin' !
