Ceci n'est pas un Chevalier

[coeurdulyon]

WHO: Lucien Amour Lyon du Lyon (The Lionheart) and YOU!
WHAT: The arrival of a famed Chevalier (and catch-all)
WHEN: mid to late Drakonis
WHERE: Kirkwall & The Gallows etc
NOTES: Feel free to make up stories you've heard about this legendary knight, he casts a looooong shadow.

i. reporting for duty [closed to div heads]

ia. flint
[ Diligence is due when Lucien returns with Marcoulf and Ellis, and because diligence is a virtue of chivalry, its due must be paid. ]

Commander James Flint? [ His announcement is preceded by a rapping of knuckles on the door jamb and he stands in the doorway until admitted. ]

ib. yseult
[ It's well after Lucien has had the chance to bathe and dress himself as a member of society when he pays a visit to the Scoutmaster in her office. He knocks, waits to be admitted, and kisses the back of her hand at the crux of his courtly bow. ]

Chevalier du Lyon, à votre service.

ic. byerly
[ Once again, the polite knock-knock and waiting at the door to be admitted, very proper and polite and very much unlike a Chevalier, all-told. ]

Ambassador Rutyer, I presume?

id. thranduil and gwen
[ Lucien knocks on the door jamb to the Research Division Head office, folding his hands behind his back. ]

Provost Baudin?

ii. some things to clear up [closed to salvio]

[ The Seneschal's office is the last stop on Lucien's unofficial tour of the Gallows, but perhaps one of the most important, overall. Yes, it's important to introduce himself to the leadership here, but getting himself declared alive again is also rather important. ]

Seneschal Salvio Pizzicagnolo? I wonder if I might beg your assistance in an administrative matter.

iii. il n'y a pas de feu

[ Wildcard, come one, come all! ]

Comments

[bouchonne]

Will you tell me all about it?

[coeurdulyon]

No.

[ Well, maybe with a caveat-- ]

At least, not in one sitting. The thought of talking about myself so much exhausts me.

[bouchonne]

Even if it's to oblige a man to whom you owe fealty?

[coeurdulyon]

If you simply wish to know me, Ambassador, there are less onerous ways to do so.

[bouchonne]

I'll hear suggestions.

[coeurdulyon]

Perhaps dinner could be a start?

[bouchonne]

Ah, so you want a proper courtship.

[coeurdulyon]

If there is a more tried and true manner of getting to know someone, please do enlighten me.

[bouchonne]

Trapping them together in a prison cell?

[coeurdulyon]

I would be reticent to enter into imprisonment so soon after my rescue, but if that is what you wish--

[ Who is he to argue? You know, other than a legendary Chevalier. ]

[bouchonne]

I believe I've read a rather scandalous novel along these lines.

[coeurdulyon]

May I ask how it ended?

[bouchonne]

You'd blush.

[coeurdulyon]

Even with my complexion? Mon dieu.

[bouchonne]

Even so. The scandal is that great.

[coeurdulyon]

I suppose it is the steps that lead to the grand finale that make the story worthwhile, non?
