Ashendar heard the king say that he'd seen the fight.  "Ah, so that is wonderful king.  Wonderful, then you saw my unrivaled prowess in the battle and how I felled the great beast without breaking a sweat...with the help of my companions of course.  It is no wonder you wish for my autograph."  He then looks around the square where everyone is cheering and announces in his booming voice "Does anyone have a parchment and quill that I might sign it for the king?  And everyone else of course."  He then looked around at all his adoring fans and winks at all the beautiful women.  "Do not worry my maidens.  I shall see to each and every one of you.  But first I have two very special admirers here that I must care for first."  He then reached out to pull Arren and her horse closer to him hoping that Guin would follow her lead.
