La Taverne (KOTF IC Thread)

**Cecil XIX** · 08-05-2009, 07:12

A herald enters La Taverne, bearing the colors of the Duc de Bourgogne

"Let it be known that Duc Raymond de Provence of Bourgogne hereby accepts the challenge issued by Raoul de Châtillon during the Tournement. The Duc also offers to allow the challenger to name the time and place, if he would prefer to do so."

With a bow to La Taverne as a whole, the herald leaves.

Duc Raymond, it is an honour. I don't care much for time

. As to place, I have no preference either. Somewhere with a crowd/

Thierry enters the tavern and hears the conversation between the noblemen.

Why don't you guys do the fighting in this place? I suggest you both wear a jester uniform and use pitchforks as weapons. It would make for quite a few good laughs to divert us during more serious matters.

Thierry sits down and shakes his head. He calls a waitress and orders a large goblet of water.

Raoul gives Thierry a fiery stare. If that was your way of asking for a beating, get in line.

**Andres** · 08-05-2009, 09:29

Thierry looks at Raoul and bursts out in laughter.

You can take your chivalrous act and shove it, seigneur. I don't see why I would keep myself busy with playing soldier to impress peasants and some deluded noblemen. But go ahead, if you want. Swing your sword chivalrous. Just make sure you don't hurt yourself in the process.

Thierry laughs again and sips from his goblet.

**deguerra** · 08-05-2009, 09:37

What, you would rather have a bar brawl like a common drunkard? Name the bar, Thierry, and I'll be there to stuff your arrogant mouth.

**Andres** · 08-05-2009, 09:57

Thierry laughs again.

Really, dear seigneur, you're hilarious. If you manage to defeat every chevalier in the Royaume and therefore won't find a master to swear an oath to, you should consider a career as jester.

Thierry drinks some more water and then stares at Raoul, an amused expression on his face.

The Romans had duels too, you know. But they were fought by slaves, for the amusement of both the plebs and the nobles. If you insist on acting like a fool to amuse us, then by all means, go ahead. But don't complain if some of us are having a few good laughs at your expense.

Thierry smiles.

You really don't want to reconsider the jester suit and the pitchfork? That's... disappointing.

Thierry laughs once more and takes another sip from his water.
