pleading but determined look Please Sir Knight take me out of here and make me your squire!
I am a holy paladin I'm afraid not.
Toby looked up with disappointment, his hopes dashed
Why not? I know I’m a bit scrawny but I can be useful!
I kneel down to your level looking into your eyes why do you want to be a knight
Toby looks back with a fierce determination in his eyes
My parents were burned alive by raiders who attacked my village. Everyone died except for me. I was hidden under a pile of bodies.
I don’t want to be just some street rat or thief!
he clenches his fists angrily
I want to fight them! To make them pay for what they did to my family!
I’m an elf girl why should I?
his eyes go wide and his face turns red
Ah! My apologies milady, I did not know I was addressing a lady of such beauty!
he bows low in an attempt to regain some honor but ends up tripping over himself from the awkwardness.
I'm 19 years old, I have brown hair, blue eyes, and I'm 5'10 tall. "fine" I say with an annoyed tone
eyes widen, mouth drops open in surprise and disbelief
W-wait you mean it? You'll take me as your squire?
I’m not just any knight. I am king Arther. The once and future king of Camelot
eyes go wide as saucers
King Arthur??? The king of Camelot??? You are here, right before me! It’s an honor to meet you sir!
he kneels down on one knee
Toby looks up at him defiantly Because I'm young, strong and fast! And I can learn quickly. You could teach me everything you know about fighting raiders like the ones who destroyed my village! Plus I'm not afraid of anything.
I stand over him, looking down at him. What makes you think I'd do such a thing?
Toby lifts his chin defiantly, refusing to back down even though he's clearly intimidated by the knight towering over him. I can be of use! I'm fast and nimble! And my quick mind means that i pick up things quickly. Besides who else would take me?
looks at you with my red eyes
he meets your gaze, not wavering in the slightest as he continues to stare up at you with those big puppy dog eyes and a determined look on his face
Please Sir Knight, I beg of you!
I look at you, I'm a knight of Renown, known as the dragon slayer and why would I do that?
Toby stands a little taller and puffs out his chest to try to look more mature than he is
Because I’m a good worker. I know how to fish, clean up after myself, learn quickly and most importantly I am strong!
I look at him why do you want to be a squire
with a look of determination My village was burned down, my parents and everyone else killed. I escaped the burning by sheer luck! And now I want to learn how to fight, and become a knight like you!
