La Taverne (KOTF IC Thread)

Barthelemy listens quietly, looks into his glass, and sets it down firmly.

You have given me much to think about, my Lord. I think I am probably too drunk to make much sense of what you said right now, but I think I will go write it down so I remember.

Barthelemy nods to himself, belches loudly, and sniffles a few times. He then gets up a bit clumsily, salutes Micheal, and then bows with a surprising fluidity.

You've obviously seen much more action than I, and so I respect your opinion more than my own. I shall look to find you here again so we can continue this conversation when I am... a bit more...

He sways, and hastily exits with as much dignity as he can muster.

Micheal laughs heartily, Calling out

I look forward to it

He shook his head and turned and walked to the bartender

I want whatever he was drinking

Micheal smiled widely

A small group of men enter the tavern, each of them visibly armoured. The manager of the establishment has seen enough nobles to know that they are newcomers to the tavern and that one of the men, a giant compared to others and seemingly to be the leader, looked quite disgruntled.

Eager to placate potential customers, the barman hurried over to the group which huddled around one of the larger tables, and managed to snatch snippets of the conversation, seemingly about the Conseil and something about a city called Staufen.

"Welcome, noble sirs. Would you like something to drink?"

"No thank you." Replied the hulk in an annoyed tone, confirming the barman's suspicion that he is the leader of this group of warriors. "A stool and a table is enough for us."

"Are you sure, my lord? Not even a cup of wine to toast Baron de la Salle's victory?" The patrons on the table next to them heard this, and promptly stood up and toasted Villain for the heroic victory and proceeded to boast that they would be travelling to Frankfurt to join his army, if they could remember this in the morning of course. This quickly spread across the tavern, and soon the Tavern was filled with cries of "For Franconian wine!", "God shave shir Villain!" and many other drunken exclamations.

The noble seems visibly cheered by this: "Well... if it is for Sir de la Salle... bring me the finest Franconian wine you have."

Hearing the name "de la Salle" Charles stands up..

Well.. isn't that my .. "son" .. who finally got here?

Charles laughs..

Come here.. he waves with his hand.. My table is your table and my wine is your wine!!!

Ignoring the few patrons who was sober enough to realise that their hero was actually amongst them, Villain left his men and moved over to Prince Charles' table.

"Why, thank you, 'father'... Or should I instead congratulate you on your new Duchy, my Prince?" Villain muttered bitterly; Franconian wine is weaker than he remembered, and does not seem to alleviate his foul mood.

**Ibn-Khaldun** · 11-07-2009, 00:11

Huh.. It's too early to talk about "my Duchy"!
Council have to agree with that during the next session but as long as Philip is the king...

Charles sighs...

Duncan De Gant enters the Tavern. He is in his late 20’s, clean shaven, as tall as Villain but of much slighter build. He wears only a maile vest which is visible under his cloak but is armed as most men with dagger and sword. On approaching the bar he addresses the barkeep in his clear Anglo-saxon accent.

Might you have some mead my man?
