[QUOTE="doghead, post: 6266697, member: 8243"] [b]Narančasta, Siva, Bijela, and Xim.[/b] Bojar Narančasta sat in the small ramshackle church that also served as town hall, half listening to the priest drone through the service while simultaneously brooding over the circumstances which had brought him to this place. Beside him sat Siva, in grey as usual, but without her bow. Church was the only time she was without it. Xim sat a few rows back with Bijela, the urchin that had attached herself to himself and Siva. [i]Probably just looking to steal something,[/i] was Siva's opinion. Narančasta didn't dispute this. But the kid was smart and and a bit cheeky and Narančasta liked him. And the urchin had no one else in the world. The Spirit of Charity required that Narančasta help out as he could. Absorbed as he was in his own thoughts, the Bojar failed to notice when the priest turned his attention to recent events in the village. But eventually the sense of expectation in the room, and the feeling of dozens of eyes watching him brought his attention back into the here and now. Narančasta didn't need to heard what the priest had said to know what he had said. The talk of the village had been of nothing else for the last few days. Narančasta had kept his true title to himself, asking only to be addressed as 'Sir', an honorific appropriate for any mounted warrior in service. But his accent, the quality of his clothes and the sword at his hip had all served to reveal his noble birthright, if not his specific title. Narančasta rose slowly to his feet and nodded in the direction of the priest and village head-man (or head-woman in this case). "I, and my companion, are of course willing to help do what we can to help the village with this problem. We will give our support to any party heading to the keep." From the back of the room Bijela shouted "As will I, as his squire, also!" The raucous laughter of the villagers at the Urchin's conceit largely drowned out his angry response, but Narančasta was pretty sure that he hear "dirt eating bumpkins" and "useless clodhoppers" in there somewhere. Narančasta turned to look back at Xim and Bijela. The kids eyes were wide with excitement. Xim's expression gave little away as usual, but she had a firm grip on the back of the kid's shirt. "Don't even think about it," hissed Siva. But the kid had potential and the idea had merit. Narančasta knew his current squire had ambitions other than following the path of the knight, and suspected that he would be in need of a new squire soon. Perhaps he would take Bijela on as a page to start. Narančasta nodded at Bijela, who responded with a grin that lit up his face. Xim just shrugged her shoulders, and then nodded. Narančasta was glad. Despite her unassuming presence, over the last few weeks Xim had proved a fine travelling companion. So it was done. [/QUOTE]
