Kieran's Musical Bathtime Fun

Marcia flew back over the camp, eager to feel the wind against her face again. Yet sadly, all good things must come to an end as she touched down by a small gathering of soldiers who were quickly identified as she touched down; Rhys, Oscar and Titania having an amiable discussion. As she closed in, Rhys waved to her.

"Hello, Marcia! Did you have a nice fly?"

She nodded with a smile on her face. "It's a great feeling! You should come up with me one day!"

He backed away, looking somewhat fearful. "N-No, that's quite alright."

Marcia laughed to herself, then asked the group, "So do any of you know where Kieran is? I think he was looking for me earlier."

Titania paused before speaking up. "I believe Captain Kieran was bathing in the river."

"Er… d'you happen to know what part of the river?"

Suddenly, a loud and terribly off-key voice pierced its way through the entire camp, leading everyone to cover their ears.

"I like! Big! Axes and I cannot lie! You other knights can't deny!. That when a guy rides in with a thickass arm and a huge motherfuckin' axe you get sprung! Wanna steal it off him 'cause you know that axe is yours!"

Marcia was the first to raise her voice over the music. "Never mind, I don't think he's looking for me!"

Titania shouted to Oscar, "Has he always been like this?"

Oscar resigned himself to his fate and made his way, ears held shut, to Kieran's bathing position.

"It's definitely one of those large ones with incredibly sharp margins! Oh axey, I wanna ride witcha and heads go splitcha! That Oscar tried to stop ya, but that axe you got makes me wanna chop ya!"

Oscar stopped and nearly tried to listen to wonder how many times Kieran would defile his name, but quickly moved on.

"Oh, stupid knighty, you think you can take me? Well bring it, bring it 'cause you're just some average nitwit!"

At that point, Oscar could see Kieran in the river and shouted, "Kieran!"

Thankfully for the entire camp, Kieran stopped. "Well, if it isn't my archrival! What brings you here? Did you think to challenge me in a singing contest?"

Oscar shook his head. "Thankfully, I haven't."

Kieran grinned. "Then you must be here to hear me speak of the amazing adventures that I, Crimean Royal Knight Fifth Platoon Captain Kieran have been on since your cowardly retreat from service! Let me tell you about-"

Oscar interrupted him quickly. "Look, Kieran, we can hear your singing across the entire camp. Would you please stop singing?"

Kieran sighed with an exasperated look on his face. "Okay, fine, I'll stop singing that song."

By that point, Marcia, Rhys and Titania had all gathered to watch the proceedings. "Thank you, Kieran."

As soon as he got back to the group, Marcia whispered, "Thank you too, Oscar. I don't know what he called that, but it wasn't sin-"

And yet again, Kieran broke into song. "Oscar the Grouch, he's got a spear jammed up his-"

Oscar, flushed red in the face, shouted, "Kieran!"

With a smile, Kieran turned and said, "I said I'd stop singing that song!" And he continued to sing, despite Oscar's pleas to stop. Rhys looked horrified, while Marcia was literally rolling in the dirt laughing. Titania, on the other hand, was holding a poker face, though she eventually covered her giggling with her hand.
