The Jack's Knight. Nickname for our hero. He's Sirzech's right hand Knight. And if you're a sword person I think you will like this.

Enjoy.

An average individual thinks that a sword is crafted with heat and metal. Maybe wood for toy purposes. There is much more to it than that. What one sees of a piece of heavy shaped metal is forged precision. Then what fighters and those see are objects with energy inside of them. Some believe forged with a spirit along inside the structure. Then others theorize every battle it wins enhances the ability.

In your white dojo attire and red belt you were gathering your mind into in the middle of the open mat. Though all of the focus wasn't there. Your half exposed chest felt chills and Grayfia being content on last messed up your thinking. It just wasn't all there today. You summon your weapon.

"Kalenic." (Ka-len-ick) A five foot long claymore sword came to your hands. Today it felt much heavier. Could it be because you had a glass of wine last night? Your energy level was low and needed some breakfast? Or perhaps you just aren't all there today? "What is wrong with me today?"

"Hey (FN)." Said a voice.

You turn around. "Sirzechs. How was your night?"

He smiled. "Slept nice and ready for breakfast. And you? Up and at it early with the sword."

"Not really. I had a weird night."

Sirzechs chuckled. "Acting as you had an altercation with a woman. What's going on?" Very concerned since you were a guest.

"Uhhh, altercation with a woman..." 

Sirzechs sighed. "Coffee break."

You put Kalenic away and walk to the office. This is where people describe matters at hand and do the best thing far as making things right. Coming up with the best solution to help. Though you and Sirzechs know how to talk to a woman, neither of you know about relationships such as this. Being romantic is one thing, knowing and having the experience is another realm. Not even a ballgame. Another realm. That's a dimension.  

Sirzechs poured himself some coffee and sat at the desk sitting across from you. "So what happened?"

"I invited a maid for a glass of wine and to talk."

"Then what?"

"Went from all serious to flirty and uhhh, yeah let's just say I wanted her to lighten up but not that kind."

"You sleep with her?"

"I spooned her because she refused to take the couch. Or better yet, I offered her my bed and she wasn't having any of it. Kissed once and once when she woke up sober and left for work. Now I'm just confused on the subject. I like one of your maids man. I can't help myself."

Sirzechs sipped his coffee. "Hmmm. Yes. Milk or cream?"

"I almost made white in my pants. She grinded in my lap before I told her to get off."

"I see. She change at all?"

"Yeah. Apparently doesn't wear black thongs to bed. Whatever floats her boat. She can wear my pants if she wants too. I don't give a damn. That's not the point." 

This was just unloading all of the confusion from last night and into this morning. If this were Mya you wouldn't have a problem. But Grayfia is a workaholic, has no alcohol tolerance, and you don't know if your night was genuine. "This is rather unsettling."

"I can't even hold my sword." You complained.

"Right. Problem. You can't get it up."

"Zechs you're freaking killing me!"

"Okay-okay. So what's your next move? You like her and she is on the clock. What now?"

"Breakfast and figure it out. I have no clue."

A knock came to the door. "Master? May I come in?" Called a voice.

The door opened as Jade walked into the office. "Master Sirzechs. Master Jack."

"What can we do for you Jade?" Asked Sirzechs.

"Do you know anything about love? Romance? Because I will just be blunt and honest with the two of you. Both of you have girls that have major crushes on you and now it's your job to figure it out." Jade was happy to just spill it. Better than having men try to figure it out. History says that just doesn't work well. 

"Who and who?" You ask.

Jade grinned. "You dog you." Then turned to Sirzechs. "Rina."

"Got myself some thinking to do." Pondered Sirzechs hearing the news.

"And you, better plan for another date. Good luck." Jade was exiting.

"Hold on. Wait-" The door closed before you can say more. "Dammit today is not my day. Hell dammit."

"The beaver did." Poked Sirzechs.

"Shuddup. I'm muttering."

"In your muck."

"In the foul stench of my thinking because my brain hurts. I have so many ideas and don't know where to go from it." 

Sirzechs got up from his chair and was going to the door. "Why not ask her for a glass of water and a talk. Priority one. She is working and she works to attending guests." He winked at you before leaving the room. 

You take a breath. Okay. Think past the obvious. Think past the wine and thong. No! Don't do that. Another breath. Come on. Either do it or hit the road Jack. You can do this. Straight up ask to talk. Both just in general space. I got this. Well... I hope. Though this ironic. Someone told me as a boy when a girl makes you nervous you have found love. I laughed at him. Not anymore.

Nervous when you love someone. Yup. Still me.
