♬ Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

WHO || Mark, Tybalt, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Mark meets with his new squire
WHERE || Knight's HQ, staircase to the second floor
WHEN || Thurs morning, March 7th
HOW || Actionspam

[ Tybalt's assigned Knight has made no attempts since the ceremony to contact him, despite Wynn's assurances to the new squires that their mentors would be in touch. In fact, it's only coming down the marble staircase from the upper story training facilities, that they would even cross paths, as Mark's heading up that way and stops awkwardly, since they're the only two people in sight, and he certainly can't feign not seeing him. He pulls up to a hesitant halt, and breaks out a nervous smile and uncomfortable wave, hand moving swiftly to the back of his neck. ]

Oh, uh, hi. You're uh, you're Tybalt, aren't you?

[ he looks visibly, as if he's glad it's a question that has a simple answer. ] Oh! Well, that's easy. It's one part training, one part whatever you want. [ he grins ] You'll get called on a mission soon, I'm sure, through your Drakenet phone. You know how to use that, right?

But when it's not mission time, you can use any of the castle facilities to hone your skills. If you're a fighter, there's training rooms and plenty of pros who can help up your game.

[The phone is still a source of confusion for him, too. But one admitted failure is really already pushing it for one day. He would stubbornly figure that one out on his own.]

And as far as you and I?

[He arches a brow at Mark, meeting his eyes again this time. He has been making very good use of those ]

Do I report to you? I always assumed squires were supposed to do something for their Knights. [Not that he knows what that is]

[nosdacariad]

It's not really that kind of squire. I think the name just fit the whole thematic element this place has going on, and it's got that apprenticeship aspect to it...

But I do have to write up reports about your fieldwork. Sometimes I'll be with you to do it, sometimes I'll pick someone who's on a team with you if I'm not, to give me the scoop on how you did.

[quarrelsomecat]

Right...

[Reports. Input from team members Shit. Well that was going to go well. Tybalt wasn't the best at making friends. Really, what he excelled at most was making enemies. That and picking fights.

He smiled through his teeth all the same, wondering, for the first time, if he was really meant for this job. Granted the code struck a chord with him, and he did want to do the missions. It was just... well... he was sort of a loner. Playing well with others was going to be a new, and probably very frustrating, challenge.]

And these reports... they affect what, exactly?

[nosdacariad]

How soon you get promoted to a full Knight. Wynn just wants to make sure this is the right place for you, you know, that sort of thing.
