"Hey," the Leader returned, turning toward the serious-faced ranger.
"So, what'd the paladin have to say? Came to vow he'd never leave you, or maybe that he'll protect you until his moral and honorable corpse is covered in maggots?"
Lily gave him a dirty look. "Calm down, Bishop. I wouldn't imagine you care anyway."
"You're right, I don't. But I am tired of seeing him make puppy dog faces at you. It makes me sick, really."
"Fine. The next time we battle, I won't bring you both along at the same time. Better?" Before he had a chance to answer, she walked off toward the wall mirror to examine her circlet. Bishop's dour face reflected back at her.
He looked very gravely at her for a few seconds, but she paid him no mind.
"Hmph. You're a real ass when you want to be."
Finally she looked at him, albeit through the mirror. "Bishop, kindly get out of my quarters if you have nothing else to say."
"Gladly, princess," he sneered. He started to storm out in a huff before catching himself and walking stoically out the door.
