This was not the first time his exuberant nature would be off-putting, and it most certainly would not be the last. The Argyris name was already dragged through the mud, one extra person being unimpressed by him, even if it was not for the reasons at hand, was something Tybalt had experience in shutting out. [color=f7976a][b]“Oh come now, I was only trying to be friendly. Breaking the ice is always a challenge.”[/b][/color] Tybalt said, giving the merc a cheery grin. [b][color=f7976a]“It’s a damn pleasure to meet you, Claude. From the reputation the Aster family possesses, you’ll be a shoo-in to be a knight, eh?”[/color][/b] He clapped the mercenary lightly on the arm as he passed by, sliding in a chair with a cheeky smirk on his face. When the mercenary explained his expertise in protection, the mage was more than eager to lay another goofy joke upon his previous quip. [color=f7976a][b]“Oh, for that I have no doubt, Sir Aster!”[/b][/color] He said. [color=f7976a][b]“After all, you certainly showed that door what’s what, right? I’d hate to be any inanimate object around you, my mercenary compatriot!”[/b][/color] He laughed, lightly elbowing Claude in the ribs. [color=f7976a][b]“No need to let what I get on your nerves, I don’t mean anything by my jests. I’m actually quite happy to see more than just nobility among the chosen canidates. Jotenvarr made a good choice to pick skill over blood relations to defend the king. Nepotism is such a failed philosophy, people like you are the real reason kingdoms move at all, right?”[/b][/color]
