A Dragon Knight's Encounter Continued

"Now that they are in their own corners sit down and join us." Bob invited Tioban over to his booth.

The Dragon Knight placed his shield down and his weapons against their half of the booth. He took a seat next to the female Pirate Lord Black Katherine, who eyed him with some interest. Across from him were Lurkos the Dark Orc, and Gary or Gerald the Beast Hunter. Gary appeared a little large for most Elves and had a strong chin and had the resemblance of a stubble. There was enough room for six people at this booth, which allowed Bob to seat himself with the other two. Bob was really known as Boramere Denson a Clansman with a tail who had risen in the ranks in the Black Coats and earned the title of Knight. He became a Champion to this world and a few others according to the stories.

"Who are you sir Dragon Knight?" Bob asked Tioban with a smile on his face.

"My name is Sir Tioban  Elarkson of the Red-Iron Wyverns. I have come here searching for any work or anyone who needs an extra man for a quest." Tioban said with an honest voice. He almost felt like he was back in the academy for knights and heroes right after his academic schooling years were done. These four were legends, outlaws, heroes, champions, and the best warriors/monster slayers. He looked at Black Katherine who appeared to be tall with dark hair, and similar looking to Bob for some reason. Only she had no beard and her female facial features were too defined. She wore a black pirate suit made from leather with pieces of combat armor over her outfit. It appeared to work for her since she was a pirate and was armed with a long sword, and decorative cutlass. Across from her was the Orc named Lurkos who wore the layered armor with his Tribal Insignia painted on it. His weapon of choice was the war bow, and war hammer. As for the Elf named Gerald the Beast Hunter, he was armed with a broad rapier, a crossbow, and a  long axe next to him. Beside Gerald sat Sir Bob Denson of the Clans in his White Crusader Armor and his Clan Surcoat with the Griffon and the Tree on his Breast Plate. Bob was armed with a Hand a Half Sword, a curved dagger, an Axe, a Falchion, and a large round shield to go on his back.

"Well we are not looking for any one of that sort just yet. However we could interest you in a crusade or some future raids. If that does not suffice with you then Buckface the Wizard could lend an extra spot for one such as you. Or you could ask that woman over there!" Bob said cheerfully with a big grin on his face and in his eyes. Black Kat looked over at who he was referring to and looked back at him.

"That is the Black Lion's Wife Lady Alise the Green Sorceress of the Serpents. She is looking to hire someone to go down a tunnel this week." She pointed out.

"Oh." Bob said with a surprised expression. "Well talk to her then."

Lurkos and Gerald sniggered at him. Black Kat tried very hard not to laugh at Bob who only looked up at the ceiling. He wondered if Bob could handle the Dragon Knights who prowled the areas of their world. Tioban got up from the booth and approached the Black Lion's Wife who sat with three other figures. Two of these figures were swordsmen wearing the Yellow Tunic and the Black Lion sigil over their chainmail armor. Beside Lady Alise was another woman wearing a pink dress crying over something. As he approached the two Swordsmen looked up and sprung into action.

"Halt Sir you are approaching Lady Alise Mahkay of the Black Lions and Princess Mary III of the Pike Mountain. State your business Dragon Cur!" one of the Swordsmen barked at him.

"Sir Denson sent me to your Lady. I hear she is in need of an extra sword." Tioban said honestly giving them a slight bow.

Both Swordsmen eyed him suspiciously due to his status as a Dragon Knight. They sat back down to nudge Lady Alise and Princess Mary. Each woman looked up to see this one Knight who was offering his blade to Lady Mahkay's cause. Princess Mary had tears going down her cheeks and Lady Mahkay was holding her hand. They kept their gaze on him for a few moments before saying a word.

"What do you want?" Lady Mahkay's asked her facial expression hardened a little seeing that he was a Dragon Knight.

"I have come to offer my hand in service to your Ladyship. You see I am a Dragon Knight searching for work or jobs." Tioban said to the two women.

"Very well meet us outside at the stables. Come alone at the stables." Lady Mahkay replied to him. She stood up from the table lifting Mary up from her chair. The two women left the table with their swordsmen following suit.
