Asking for Advice
'George! George, hey!' Dom panted to a stop in front of the baron of Pirates Swoop.
''Ello, Domitan,' George said, smiling cheerfully.
'Please don't call me that. It's Dom.'
'Alright, then, Dom. Now, what is it that has ye running around the palace looking for me?' George asked.
Dom bit his lip for a moment, then said, 'Well, you see, I needed some advice, and you were the only person I could think of to ask.'
George looked at him thoughtfully for a moment. 'Well, go on.'
Dom really wished he could have figured this out himself, but what he had messed it up? Oh well, it was better to ask. 'I want to propose to Kel, but I'm not sure how,' there. He had said it. George would think him a fool.
The former thief led the younger man to a small bench and they both sat down. George sighed, and said, 'Ah, how to propose to a lady knight. Should write a book... Now see here, boy. The only thing bout these lady knights is that they want ta do every thing 'emslves. Independent. Remember that. Otherwise, they're just like regular women. Just be yerself. Ye cant go wrong. Got it?'
Dom nodded. If that was all, was it silly of him to have thought that there were some magic words he had to say?
A group of Riders, headed by Buri and accompanied by two knights, stopped to make camp for the night. One of the two knights, the younger one, whispered to the other, 'Can we talk later?' the other one nodded, and the two dismounted. One of them was short for the average knight, and had striking red hair, and, the first thing anyone would notice about the knight, she had amethyst-colored eyes. The other knight was taller, and had short-cut brown hair and hazel eyes, an average knight aside from the fact that she fought with a glaive and was a woman.
It was rare to find the lady knights together, yet all to common. They often rode together, sometimes with the Own or the Riders. Now they rode for the City of the Gods, to fetch an important young noble to the palace. Only Alanna knew who he actually was, but no one asked or wondered.
'See you in my tent after we eat,' Alanna told Kel, and clapped her on the back before going to help a Rider with the meal.
I have more written, but not typed, and I wanted to get this story posted to night. So, Read, Review, and do plenty of snow dances! Let it snow!
