"And, of course, there are some who see how handy troll squires are" He says oh so seriously

"Oh, my, yes - troll squires, so good at reaching the top shelf and opening jars..."

"Exactly, why even folks with wings sometimes need that"

She laughs.

"But, seriously - you have provided me good, solid service... it's time for you to spread your wings. I do intend to see you to knighthood."

"Thank you, my liege, you... you always saw something in me. Even when I was sure the only kindness was pity you.. you showed it becausee you saw potential. You, and the people of Rivervale."

"Rivervale has a way about it. They saw something in me, too."

"They're good people." He nods "And you brought some of that goodness here, and added it into the mix. i hope if I ever lead anyone, I can bring what good I've learned from others and offer it up"

"That's..." She grins, and gives him a side hug. "That would make me so proud."

He hugs her back "I best go find Honoria"

Her wings fluff out, happy. "Alright. Good!"

Her squire rises, bows once ot her, and a smile escapes him...then he moves off... soon she hears "Squire Honoria? Please, wait up..."

She watches him go, smiling yet.
