Part 8: The Daring Presentation
(Roleplay from Irdys Galeheart)
Irdys froze at the weaponmasters words. The duke, his grace here? In the dead of night at that. Eyes tried to carefully spy some of the duke from under the cloak, as respectfully as possible while giving up as little of the cover granted as possible.
Voice lost for a moment, merely giving a mute bob before she said softly;
"Your grace it's an honour, of course I..." She gritted her teeth and did her best to regain her composture. There were some things one just wasn't ready for in the dead of night. After a painfull silence Irdys carefully drew forth the hilt of the blade. She wasn't quite sure how a thing like this went. Should she give the blade to his grace directly? To the weaponmaster? Indeed was it even up to her to bar steel? She knew knights offered blades as tokens of fealty. But she was certainly no knight, and she doubted very much the squadron of guards would take her baring any steel as a 'sign of good faith'. These were times of war after all...
Pressing her eyes shut for a moment she carefully removed the scabbard, with the blade still inside, from beneath her cloak. Hesitating for an instant she then decided that boldness was probably the wise course after all. Taking a quick step forward she knelt infront of the duke, keeping her gaze lowered to do her best to keep her face obscured. The blade offered, in its scabbard, hilt first to the duke as she said softly;
"The Nightblade your Grace, for your inspection and to be honored by your hand."
