Keenst let out a growl as Undyne rushed someone she knew nothing about. it was ignorant, a novice's mistake. And she paid quickly for it., another growl leaving his lips as she got caught, dropped, and kicked away. So she held some power, but how much of her power came from the whip, was the question. "Foolish." He spoke to Undyne, " Are you suppose to be a captain of sorts? You should know better than to rush the unknown like that." He spoke without looking away from the woman.<br/><br/>"Iris the rook." He completed, obviously stating that she wasn't the head in his mind. She may not be controlled, but she definitely didn't know enough to become so cocky around a knight. "You all can stay, If she wants to... break something, someone. she can try to break me all she wants." He said after a moment, " And fail like all before her, and all after." He finished as he stood from his seat, " If she has the Gall to try anyways." He said cracking his neck and flexing his fingers, but not reaching towards anything, his Knights sword hanging at his hip as he stood there, two short swords on his back, and his body littered with weapons. "But of course, she knows better than to step up to game she has no chance against. Righ Rook?" He insisted on not addressing her by her name, on purpose.<br/><br/>It was a tactic to annoy her, show her anger, show her emotion, get under her skin, which he was very good at doing. " They're under my protection. Any problem with them, and you have to go through me first." He assured her, as he tilted his head again, sizing her up, She didn't seem like much, but then again, neither did he. Looks were deceiving. "If you would like, you can join us for dinner before i kick your sorry ass back to your puppet master." He grinned, "I'd hate to be rude, and not take you on a date before i fuck you out of a job."
