Deston's March | A Newbie Adventuring Group RP

"Why, adventure, good sir. I take it that you're here to join us?"

Cassius didn't need much time to respond, given that his response was merely a small nod and maybe a hum of acknowledgment. This was good, because if he had tried to speak, he would have been rudely interrupted by someone shouting above the subdued cacophony of the tavern. He had glanced over his shoulder to see who exactly was doing the shouting and had found that not just one, but two women were approaching with desires for adventure as well. As a matter of fact, there was one coming straight towards them, slamming the letter on the table as she did so.

"You the one who sent this letter?"

"That would be me, yes. Prince Deston, sixth in line for the throne. And who would you be, ma'am?"

Cassius covered his mouth to hide the incredulous little frown that snuck onto his face - Deston really is that stupid. If somehow a target wasn't on his back before, it's absolutely there now. Gods, announcing out loud that he's a prince with not a guard in sight? The prince is foolish, having such a naive optimism in his heart. If not for the fact it was such a dangerous view to have, Cassius would admire him for holding onto such innocence. Not that Cassius didn't have have a somewhat similar view himself, of course - he always hoped for the best, but he also planned for the worst. His dagger is at his side at all times for a reason, after all.

He continued to observe intently, but quietly.

bump because I added a new plot <o/

Deston's March | A Newbie Adventuring Group RP

As Cassius opened the door, he was looking down at a piece of paper - the paper was a letter which was given to him by a messenger, which then Cassius was directed by the King to take, so as to not appear too dissimilar from any other takers of Deston's offer of adventure. He still didn't understand why he needed to hide the fact he was a bodyguard, but he also wasn't being paid to ask questions - he was being paid to protect the prince and to do so till his last dying breath if that's how it ended up. It wasn't any more difficult than just being a bodyguard, he felt.

Cassius's eyes skim over the heads of those in the tavern. Blond, he'd said, and not much older than 20- ah, there he is, and eyeballing him as well! He folds the letter neatly and puts it in his satchel before walking closer to the prince, giving him a small bow of the head that could be mistaken for just a nod before sitting besides him. Or, rather, he sits just a seat away from him, as to give him a bit of space. He turns to look at Deston.. and honestly? Cassius sees why the King felt such a need to hire a mercenary such as himself. Deston's twiggy, bright-eyed, and entirely too eager - all of which paint blatant targets on his back. He'd be eaten alive - and that could be figuratively or literally, depending.

Cassius lets the silence between them linger for maybe a bit too long before he asks, "And what are you so excited for, pray tell?" Of course he already knew the answer, but was still curious as to how Deston might respond.

Cassius Whyte is a respected captain of the mercenary company Walcher's Knights. Being so respected amongst his peers, you'd expect he's done something of great renown - but.. No, actually. He's merely a man who keeps his word and then some, no matter the task. Hire him to steal your precious heirloom back from thieves, he'll return it polished and shined for you; ask him to hunt down and 'teach a lesson to' the man who harassed your daughter, he'll come back after the job is complete and offer to stick around so she feels safe with no extra pay necessary. Aside from that, he's just another run-of-the-mill sword-for-hire, so imagine his surprise when he gets a summons from the King. To keep this short and sweet, his Highness had asked for Cassius meet one of his younger sons - Prince Deston - in Bruvell. "Guard him with your life, but don't let him know I sent you."

While Cassius has never had to hide the fact he was someone's bodyguard before, he doesn't plan to let that trip him up.

I'm not a GM or anything, but I don't see why it wouldn't be ok. Just follow the rules, @Leda c:
