A short, skinny boy waltzed over to Scarlet with a confused look on his face. "You don't look like a knight... you're a girl, and how come you're called The Bloody Knight? You're not even wearing red!" he rambled.
Scarlet raised an eyebrow and rose from her seat to tower over the boy. He stumbled back. Without her armor on, you could see Scarlet's defined muscles, don't get me wrong, she wasn't a body builder, but being a knight required some strength.
The other knights watched the exchange, some laughed and others commented "Watch what you say boy, you're talking to one of the prince's knights!" "Despite what it looks like, she really knows how to work that sword." "Don't make her show you how she got her name!"
The boy looked more frightened by the second. Suddenly, Scarlet held out her hand for the boy to shake.
"Scarlet Simon, and you are?" she asked politely and with no violent demeanor whatsoever.
He shook her hand cautiously and replied in a now quiet voice, "Tevius Riverruns, but everyone calls me Weasel." Scarlet half-smiled and some of the nights looked surprised; they probably thought she'd scold him or hit him with the flat of her sword. The boy looked less afraid now and stepped a bit closer.
"Well Tevius, would you like me to tell you a story?"
