"Lady Alice. Thank you for hearing me out." Ozend crouched down to meet her at eye level. He started with a whisper. "That jerk got what was coming to him." Ozend grinned.
"I am a knight with no king. So, little lady, I will be your knight. Your shield so that our foes and spectators may watch your splendors unfold with no interruption." That cheesy grin still painted his face. He meant it. While he was here for her and the others it would be his utmost task to aid them. "Let my service be the first of many that will serve you in the future." With that he bowed his head and stood up. Ready to follow the others down, or to his preference, be at the front.
