La Taverne (KOTF IC Thread)

[deguerra]

Raoul walks up to Thiery and looks him in the eye briefly. He grins.

Normally I would bash your loud, arrogant head in for the filth spewing from your dirty mouth...

he turns away, adding:

...but I do not beat children.

[Andres]

As Raoul turns away his head, Thierry grabs his goblet and hits Raoul on the head with a devastating blow. While Raoul, who didn't quite expect this, goes down, Thierry jumps on him and starts to punch the older chevalier, who is bleeding heavily from the back of his head, wherever he can hit him.

EDIT: This is a little co-op with deguerra, for your amusement

Dazed, Raoul tries to fend off the blows from the younger man. Giving off a cry of anger and pain, he rallies his strength and starts fighting back. Despite his injuries, his size and weight pay off and he lays some heavy punches on Thiery as they roll on the tavern floor.

Allthough the fight started well for Thierry, he now started to feel the hard punches from Raoul. A devestating blow splits his lip and another almost breaks his nose. Tasting the blood in his mouth, Thierry realises that he's going to lose this fight.

Using all the strenght that's left in his body, he manages to get on top of the older chevalier and while avoiding yet another punch from the iron fists of his opponent, he manages to pull his dagger and points it at the throat of Raoul.

The older man stops punching and looks at Thierry, angry and clearly disgusted that the younger man lowered himself to this treacherous move.

"Don't move, you " Thierry said with a soft voice, his breath rasping.

Raoul moves his right hand.

"Don't you move, idiot."

Thierry moves his dagger and puts it right against Raoul's throat.

"Yes, that's what you are, Raoul: a complete moron."

Thierry takes a deep breath and calms down. Grinning, he continues:

"So, how does it feel to be outwitted by a child, old man!"

Thierry spits Raoul in the face and quickly rises on his feet. Before Raoul has the chance to get up, Thierry kicks him in the stomach. While Raoul reaches for his stomach, groaning, Thierry kicks him again, on the back, and again, against his head. Finally satisfied, Thierry puts away his dagger, spits one more time in the direction of his opponent, whipes off the blood on his face and leaves the tavern.

Observing the proceedings from a corner, a man in plain cloths stays long enough to see if Raoul is seriously injured or not.

Deciding the situation is not too grave he slips out the door.

[Marcus Agrippa]

Upon entering the tavern Alexandre notices the mess and Thierry who just brushes by at the door looking especialy proud and out of breath.

Well this is definatly the place.
Noblemen wenches and broken glasses.

As he proccedes to the bar Alexandre notices one fine dressed man lying on the floor doubled up with blood dripping from his head.

Thierry what have you don't now.

Shaking his head Alexandre grabs the man and hoists him to his feet and plants him on the nearest chair

Rough night seigneur?

Bar keep a drink and a bandage for my unfortunate friend here!

[TinCow]

As the fight breaks out, Christophe de Perronne stops poking at the a wicked bruise on the right side of his face long enough to watch. After it is all over, he walks over and picks up Thierry's goblet, now marred with a large dent, and takes it over to the barkeep. After the goblet has been filled, he raises it in the direction that Thierry left the tavern before draining it in a single gulp and slamming it back down on the counter.

[deguerra]

Groaning, Raoul slowly pushes himself to his knees. Muttering to himself, he staggers to his feet and addresses the door:

"I like big, fat egos like yours Thierry. When they fall they make more noise. And sometimes they never get up. Mark my words boy, if I catch you down again you'll be lucky if someone can help you to your feet afterwards."

Taking the drink offered by Alexandre, he gulps it down, while giving Christophe a hard look. Straightening himself and adds to the room at large:

"Tell Duc Raymond that I await his reply in my room"

With that, he slowly limps up the stairs.

OOC: Making a second post so this doesn't end up out of order and look odd.

Prince Louis enters the tavern and makes his way to his usual table where a few of his customary companions have already set up shop. They fill him in on the challenge and the brawl that took place, and the Prince commands that any more wine de Châtillon orders this night be put on his tab before announcing more vocally,

"A round for every man here who fought in the tournament barkeep! And make it the good stuff, not that swill you keep for the bloody tourists!"
