Among those knight is Sir Redrick, with his small entourage of a dozen with him, including his squire, Robb.​

This is a roleplay thread for me and @Myla

Many maidens, dames, duchess, Lords, pleasants, Dukes, Queens Kings and so forth often times come to the tournament to watch the knights battle it out. Among these people, was a maiden named Emeline Rose of Lyrenia. Emeline was always one of the ones standing in the sidelines watching as the knights fought on, but she wonders if anything will be different this time since she has a pretty good feeling about this tournament.

Spoiler

Emeline was a sweet young girl who enjoyed a sense of adventure. Emeline was about 17 years old and was about 5'3 feet tall. She was a pretty small and dainty thing weighing about 122 lbs. Emiline had long brown hair and brown eyes to match. She always had a honey sweet tone to her voice, and was rarely rude.

Robb was tired, he had walked all through the dark and cold night to get to the tournament in time due to the Lady Merilda taking far too long to decide what perfumes to wear.


Although tired he still had to work, and the squire was put to work as soon as they entered the city gates. Hitching the horses, moving the luggage, equipping Sir Redrick. "Never a dull moment" Robb thought to himself as he worked, tired enough to sleep where he stood.

Emeline stood aside, watching others as they socialize with each other. She made her way around the city greeting the many people who knew her. The only reason so many people knew her was because she has been coming to these tournaments ever since she was a small child since her father used to battle in these tournaments. Now a days, she comes to just watch the knights battle it out since her father retired from these tournaments. As she walks around she sees the exhausted man working and looks at him being curious, but confused at the same time to why he had arrived so late. Many of the other people arrived a few hours earlier, although this man arrived past dark. Emeline shrugs dropping it, but at the same time staying curious.

Robb kept moving the many armor sets of Sir Redrick, but as he was grabbing the last set he decided to rest a moment and lay his head on the chestpiece, but he was soon asleep on the armor.

 

[Myla]

Emeline looks surprised at how the man fell asleep. She thinks to herself, If I don't wake him up, whoever he is working for will get him into a boatload of trouble. Emeline walks over to the man and shakes his shoulder softly saying, "Excuse me?... Sir.. Wake up, you might get in trouble for sleeping on the job.."

 

[Thebadgamer98]

Robb jumped and almost threw the armor away in his stupor "I... uhh..." Rpbb said rubbing his eyes to wake himself up "I was just..." Robb looked up to the person who woke him and was immediately at a loss for words. His jaw began to slowly drop as he looked at the woman before him, a woman more beautiful than any he had ever seen. Robb stood up straight and did his best to look good in his rags for the lady before him "I...uhh... thank you... my lady." Robb stuttered out.

 

[Myla]

Emeline smiled and laughed softly looking at the man, "You're welcome, but you really shouldn't fall asleep while working. You could into much trouble for that. Any who, I'm Emeline Rose of Lyrenia." She curtsy not minding that he's a pleasant, "And you might be?"

 

[Thebadgamer98]

Robb rubbed the back of his neck out of timidity in an awkward way and said "Uhh... I'm Robb... It's really nice to meet you..."

 

[Myla]

Emeline smiles politely, "It's nice to meet you as well. Well, I have to go, I don't want get you in trouble. Bye-bye, I'll see you around." She starts walking away and waves her hand at him.

 

[Thebadgamer98]

Robb waves at her as she goes and stares, starstruck, at the view of the woman before she disappears in the crowd. Then he snaps out of it and gets back to work, but never stops thinking of beautiful Emeline.

 

[Myla]

As Emeline leaves to go to where she is staying, she looks back at Robb one more time. Despite, the peasant clothing she still found him rather handsome and made a mental note to talk to him soon again.

 

[Thebadgamer98]

The next morning, after Robb has had plenty enough sleep, the first jousts begin. Hundreds of bouts will take place before a victor is decided for this joust, and it's not even the main event!


Sir Redrick rides in one of the earlier bouts, he wins heartily, smashing his lance into the enemy's mask and denting it so that it is stuck on their head. Robb is there, running back and forth, getting new lances, keeping check on the horses, bringing sir Redrick water, and shooing the horse down the lane to make it ride faster.


As he is there, he scans the crowd, looking for the beautiful Emeline he met the night before.

 

[Myla]

Emeline watches the knight ride around and stick his lance into the enemy's mask and thinks to her self mentally wincing, Ouch.. That seems to have hurt. She stands quietly along people who cheer at him the moment he wins the joust. She smiles seeing the show unfold and quietly claps along the cheers. Emeline soon makes her way through the crowd though, trying to find an open area where she could have more breathing space to herself.

 

[Thebadgamer98]

As Emeline reaches a more open space, Robb notices her. In a moment he is enticed again, he can't turn his gaze from her beautiful face, her body grabs his eyes and won't let them go. His jaw begins to drop again as he looks her up and down, now able to see her true beauty in the daylight, until Pod, another squire shoves him to get his attention and forces him back to squiring.

 

[Myla]

Emeline doesn't notice Robb yet being too short to look over the heads of the people there. However, her mind does drift off to him wanted to see him again. She pushes a strand of her hair behind her ear as she stands looking around the people around her.

 

[Thebadgamer98]

Robb keeps doing his job of squiring, always looking over to Emeline and wishing he could see her. But they would never allow him near her, him being a peasant and her being a princess.

 

[Myla]

As Emeline looks around she spots Robb and makes her way towards him. When she reaches Robb, Emeline smiles and curtsy as she greets him, "Hello, how are you today?"

 

[Thebadgamer98]

Robb is sweating from carrying his lord's armor and saddles to his manor. He turns to see the voice who called out to him and immediately smiles "My lady!" He does his best impression of a bow.
