[QUOTE="MDSnowman, post: 2026085, member: 6255"] [b]Interlude #1[/b] "Try it again Gaston, and this time remember you’re trying to harm your foe, not tickle him!” Sir D’Pointu remarked dryly bringing a soft chuckle from the group of assembled young dueling students. Gaston nodded in understanding and saluted his sparring partner and once again pressed the attack. D’Pointu retreated calmly from the grounds to observe the sparring. With almost supernatural silence a figure marked only by his long dark hair and heavy dark cloak came up behind D’Pointu watching as well. D’Pointu didn’t jump, simply looked forward. “Well my lord I hope you’re pleased with the progress of the new recruits.” “Of course I’m pleased, if I weren’t then our arrangement would no longer be binding. And you wouldn’t want that now would you Frances?” He uttered coldly looking directly at the Sword master. “Of course not Lord Bendick. I was just making sure these young men met your expectations.
