Courtly Matters Part 30

An Unexpected Meeting

Sir Jorheim of Yothgard and member of the Order of Nightingales

During a rare break between hours-long Court sessions, Sir Jorheim took to the woods for a break, for the silence that they offered as he imbued large amounts of water in order to ease his protesting throat.

For the first time in months, Sir Fraiden was on his way back to the Castle. He, like many of his peers in the Order of the Nightingales, were slowly on their way back to pay honor to their new Head of the Order.

"Sir...Jorheim?" Fraiden spluttered in surprise, lifting his visor to reveal a face in need of a good shave and cleaning as he peered at the man walking a short distance away.

Jorheim spun around, and then caught sight of the Knight errant.
"Aye," he replied. "And your name, good sir?"

"It's me, Sir Fraiden, Knight of the Order of Nightingales, don't tell me that you don't recognize me..."

"Fraiden!" the Herald exclaimed, then turned his back and continued walking away. "Best you be hurrying in, Court's near to begin again."

Sir Fraiden blinked in surprise at the cold dismissal, but did as he was bidden and hurried back to the castle.
