Kaito chuckled as he watched Jazdia’s futile attempt to get past the guard. She tried to boss him around in her usual stern manner but the man was having none of it. It was clear that he took his position as royal guard very seriously and that he would not bulge in the face of the fiery elf. Jazdia certainly had her skill set but for this kind of task she was less suited. Getting past the guard would require someone with charm, social intellect and being good at telling lies.  

Quickly the fox nudged the elf aside and gave her the most disappointing look he could muster. [color=#93FFFF]“No! That is not how you talk to an honored knight, tasked with protecting our glorious king, miss Jazdia!”[/color] Spoke Kaito in a belittling tone as he pretended to be angry at her.

Quickly Kaito turned towards the guard and made a deep bow while infusing his words with his charm magic that would make him more susceptible to his suggestions. [color=#93FFFF]“No need to get agitated. My deepest apologies sir for the behavior of my partner. She spoke out of turn.” Kaito moved closer to the man and whispered “A new gal, got the job just yesterday. She’s tagging along so that she can learn the ropes. She’s got a pretty face and all but no skill. You know how that goes when old men are in charge, right?”[/color] 

Kaito extended his hand and spoke swiftly. [color=#93FFFF]“Geito Brown, chronicler of the Helvetian Daily Horn. We would like to hear the great tale of how our glorious king Fredericus and his royal guards gallantly fended off the ambush, publish it for all of Rascade to read and document this tale for the annals of history. I am sure that just this tale will cement the legacy of King Fredericus and his brave knights for all of eternity.”[/color] 

‘Geito Brown’ paused a bit as he looked at the guard before placing his hand on his shoulder, lowering his tone and letting his bewitching words sink deeper into the guard’s consciousness. [color=#93FFFF]“Perhaps you were there my friend and could give us a first hand account of the events? I can already see the headline ‘King Fredericus and you fend off the Mechian attack and save Kindeance from peril. That does have a nice ring to it, don’t you think?”[/color] 

The fox paused and smiled. [color=#93FFFF]“Perhaps we can help each other out here like friends do. I can put out a good word for you and the boys. Make them part of the publication and get the story of their great deeds out. You and your pals certainly deserve some of the spotlight, don't you think? All you have to do is let us in so that we can get the details right. That way we all win. Sounds like a plan, don't you think?”[/color]
