♬ Reasons Why - Nickel Creek

WHO || Lan, David, open if people want to bang into them, just threadjack wherever.
WHAT || Lan still doesn't do things the easy way.
WHERE || Behind Knight's HQ, in the woods
WHEN || Last week Monday, 4/8
HOW || Actionspam

[ Although he seemed to be present at David's squiring ceremony, his mentor knight has made himself scarce since. Eventually, however, Sir Ironsides the dwarf would take it upon himself to inform David that Sir Wellington is waiting for his squire to come to him, and let him in on the fact that Lan doesn't live in the castle at all, but rather out back. In a cabin in the woods.

~Alone~

Good luck finding the cabin though, because there is no path.

† Roll a d20. A roll of a 15 or above means he runs across a cabin out there. Anything lower and hooray, wandering around the woods. 8| ... A one or two results in being hopelessly lost.

[ well that's convenient because before he knows it there's a greatsword jammed into the tree bark beside his head, then.

attached to the arm of a fully decked out heavy plated knight glaring down at him. ]

What d'ye think you're doing, boy?

[generaldavideus]

[For once David manages to do something right and not fall on his ass like a moron (reflex save: 22) when Lan SHOVES A SWORD INTO THE TREE NEAR HIS HEAD.

WHAT THE FUCK.

When he does turn to look at the older knight, however, yeah he's not all that happy.]

Apparently looking for the crazy old man in the woods, you lunatic. What the fuck?!

[technophobic]

Mind your tongue, lad. [ he jerks the sword out roughly ] If you'd like to keep it.

[generaldavideus]

[Yeah, that's not going to happen.]

Is that supposed to scare me?

[because he's seen scarier.]

[technophobic]

It's supposed to warn you of what's about t'happen if you don't change your tone.

[generaldavideus]

Sorry, I don't feel the need to monitor my tone for someone who sends me on wild goose chases through the woods and likes to stick their sword near my head. So if you want me to change my tone maybe you should treat me like an actual goddamn person first.

[ ... yeah, they're going to be great friends.]

[technophobic]

I asked you to come to my cabin, boy. You're nowhere near it.

[generaldavideus]

Yeah. Cuz I couldn't find it. All you said was come to the cabin, you couldn't have at least given me a direction to start looking in?

[a beat]

And it wasn't even you. I had to hear it through a damn messenger.

[technophobic]

Any squire worth his salt should be able to follow a trail.

[generaldavideus]

What trail!?

[technophobic]

The worn path, boy. The one I tread every day between the castle and my home.

[generaldavideus]

Right. Because that's completely obvious and easy to find for someone who doesn't know the woods.

[technophobic]

D'you think you're like to only get assigned to places you know? [ he snorts ] The world's full of unknown territory, lad, and it won't take your excuses.

[generaldavideus]

No, I don't --

[his teeth grit a bit at that, and that last part just makes him even angrier.]

And I won't take your bullshit. So hey -- at least we're even.

[technophobic]

You'll learn to watch that mouth. I'm here for your benefit, and I got enough lip from the last one of you.

[generaldavideus]

If you're here for my benefit then it might be nice if you started acting like it.
