XDAlso, I can send it to you again if you misplaced it :3[/sblock]Alexander’s brows arched violently at the sounding of ‘brothers’ Dellex obviously did not do any homework on the house of Ravensworth; the young lord’s eye gave a flare of intense ire, the kind of which the small soldier hadn’t yet seen from him while he straightened out and loomed over the two.It would take no stroke of genius to see a rode of salt was just violently jabbed into an open, festering, wound.It was only due to Alaexander reminding himself that the wizard had not been a lord too long yet that kept him from exploding at Dellex. He inhaled deeply and then exhaled a long and low, rumblings breath before recomposing himself as best he could. The flare of rage burnt itself out as quickly as it roared to life, but the embers endured as he could not fully smother them.    “It would behoove you to know that my only brother has been dead several fold longer then Duke Bairan’s rule, that my father has not left Raven manner longer still, and that either of my nephews are even remotely of fighting age” he answered, his earlier tone tried to return, but it was warped with a simmering rage that steamed out of every tiny crack in his words. “As for retainers,” Alexander continued as his rage ever so slowly ebbed away “while hair apparent I chose to forgo the boons of my inheritance in my quest for glory; I did not bring any. However,” Alexander commented while his inner fury was sealed tighter and he developed a small grin of his own. “House Ravensworth, doubtlessly, still has yet to fill its full obligations to the general war effort; my word could help ensure the deployment of several iron golems, and an artificer or two, into this region, but I can’t presently say if additional troops would be sent along with them. Also, as I’m sure you know, they are not renowned for their speed and The Raven’s River is on the other side of Pesh; it will take them a good deal of time to cross the distance.”       Alexander would have just called the midget’s card into play; he was offering to have golems, plural, brought into the region and thus under Duke Barian and Lord Dellex’s command, but the longer the conversation lasted, the more reserved he could make himself again, and the more foolish he could get the midget to look. So instead he finished on an other note “I’m sure you can imagine why I did not bring any number of twelve foot tall behemoths with me on my quest to prove myself; if I had them fight at my side, my victories would prove no velor; and if I held them in reserve it would only prove that I’m a egotistical coward that won’t take any real risks.”</blockquote>
