“Duke Moriset d’ Bordeleaux!” Shouted the dwarf as he hoisted Lucian to stand next to him, “I, Adok Fireskin hereby come to negotiate with you about my companion Lucian of Verac!”
“Adok?” The most prominent men on the side of Bastonne sounded deeply confused as he leaned forward, “I had sent men looking out for you, why have you brought a Peasant into the Feast of Lords!?”
“Because its best to get things done as soon as they can be done!” Declared the Dwarf as he patted the back of Lucian, “This man, Lucian, has gained my respect in both battle and drink. Three glasses of Dwarven Wine he has survived and his style of war reminds me of newly vowed Slayers! We have vowed to one another to serve in each other's interests and he cannot start with the vows he has already made between himself and Duke Moriset!”
The Duke of Bastonne wanted to say something but the hand of his fellow was raised, “Guion, I understand that you feel responsible for this because Adok is your guest. But he has called upon me to answer him, not you. Sir Dwarf, I have heard a lot of you, what do you want from me?”
“Two things.” Adok gestured to Lucian, “This man is to become my companion upon the road so he needs to have his vows either withdrawn or fulfilled. In addition to that this man does not know the way men fight and I, a Dwarf, cannot teach him. So I am here to negotiate one year’s worth of tutelage in the art of war for him. In return, I shall give you my services as a Runesmith!”
The room was silent. Upon the words of Adok the men who had been casually eating or drinking were now looking nearly terrified at the prospect of the words that were spoken.
“You… you would forge me a weapon?” Confusion was laced within the voice of the Duke as he too was caught in the confusion, “You would place so much value in a Peasant to forge something that could conqure nations.”
“Aye, of course I am not going to let you get away with giving him whatever pathetic training you give your lesser warriors.” Adok declared as he pointed to the Knights, “Train him like you do them and that will satisfy me.”
The Duke of Bastonne balked at such a vile declaration yet he held his tongue out of respect. It was the Duke of Bordeleaux and Aquitaine who asked, “And what of you, Lucian. Are you party to what this dwarf desires?”
>Uh, its between you two
>Yes
