				Peredur Hynde was a young knight in the service of Lord Rhysart.&nbsp; In his service, he had led battles, routed bandits, and fought to protect his life. <br><br>So he was less than thrilled with his new task.&nbsp; He had to escort the Lord's youngest son, Jonathan, to a far away noble's estate to be married.&nbsp; The lord of that estate had no sons, only daughters, and he didn't want his land gobbled up and joined to one of the other local noble estates.&nbsp; He had called on his old friend, Lord Rhysart, who was only too happy to find *something* useful to do with a third son. <br><br>Peredur was saddling the horses and checking the wagon.&nbsp; They would ride, with a covered wagon to sleep in for comfort on nights when they could not find an inn.&nbsp; But Peredur was a little disappointed to be saddled with essentially babysitting the young noble and keeping him company.

				Johnathen Rhysart was the youngest son of Lord Rhysart, he was a strange lad, he was quiet, and seemed rather depressed most of the time. Probably because his older brothers got all the attention from his father and even his mother. The older brothers were stronger, more manly, and more talented then he was in fighting, along with other things men do. His strong points were in his mind, heart, and charm... Though he wasn't at all that bad of a looking young man.<br><br>He wasn't to thrilled either at basically being asigned to a women he didn't know, didn't like, and probably would hate for the rest of his life if they didn't get along. He sighed as he walked out to meet the man who was to take him to his doom. He stopped not far way, staying silent, and staring slightly at the ground.

				"Young Sir," Peredur said.&nbsp; "The preparations are almost done.&nbsp; Is there ought else you would take with you?" <br><br>He was touched at the appearance of the man.&nbsp; It couldn't be easy.&nbsp; Lord Rhysart was a warrior, and respected strength.&nbsp; Jonathan was a slender, scholarly, almost pretty young man...and had no chance at all of ever having his father's respect.&nbsp;

				He looked up at Peredur and shook his head. "No... I have nothing else I want to take... I have everything I need and own."&nbsp; Strangely he didn't own much.. Most of what he owned were books, writting untensils, paper, Music book, and clothes.<br><br>He sighed, reaching up, running his fingers through his hair, and walked up to one of the horses. Petting it's nose lightly. "I... am ready to go when ever you are Sir." He stated to the slightly older knight. "Despite how I hate the idea." He mumbled in almost a whisper.

				Peredur was almost moved to feel sorry for him.&nbsp; Almost.&nbsp; At least this way Jonathan would have money, lands, and a wife.&nbsp; Otherwise he might have been packed off into Mother Church. <br><br>"The horses are ready.&nbsp; We should get going so we can make Frankwell before dark, young Sir.&nbsp; And you can call me Peredur.&nbsp; I am your father's retainer, and therefore yours as well."

				He wished his parents would give him a chance to prove his worth before they sent him to some strange family to marry their daughter who probably&nbsp; was a brat, spoiled, and a nag.. But no they didn't think he could do anything worth their respect... Oh how he hated his brothers for getting all his parents attention... How he would jump at the chance to give them a peice of his mind. His brothers always picked on him about being the runt of the family... or saying he should have been born a girl instead of a man because of his size and looks.<br><br>"Alright... Lets get going Peredur..." he stated softly and obviously was depressed about this. He might as well get this over with... Maybe if he did this for his father he would finally respect him and be proud of him.

				Peredur nodded and mounted his horse, waiting for Jonathan to do likewise.&nbsp; Once he had, Peredur signaled the peasant driving the wagon, and they left the keep, heading towards the main road.&nbsp;

				He walked over to the other horse, one of his favorites his father let him have, and quickly mounted. He could at least ride a horse rather well if nothing else and lightly tapped the horses side as he followed after Peredur down the road. He stayed behind Peredur and beside the wagon.<br><br>It was safe to say Johnathen had everything his brothers didn't, charm, a nice voice, inteligent, artistic, musical, and a kind heart. He didn't mind much that he wasn't strong enough to be a fighter, he didn't much like fighting, and wouldnt trade his talents for it. He just wished his parents would see what he could do and not just what he couldn't do. <br><br>He continued down the path with Peredur and the peasant. "Peredur I am sorry you have to do this.. I am sure you hate the thought of being my babysiter." He stated.

				Peredur stiffened.&nbsp; It was true, but it wasn't the sort of thing one said to the son of one's liege lord.&nbsp; "It's my duty, young Sir, to do as your father commands me."&nbsp; That was as close as he could get to agreeing.&nbsp; "But who knows?&nbsp; It's a long journey.&nbsp; Perhaps there will be bandits or fell beasts for me to slay."&nbsp; He smiles, his tone lightly teasing, trying to lift the mood.

				He sped up his horse so he was ridding beside Peredur.&nbsp; "I guess&nbsp; but I am sure it gets a bit... bothersom doing everything he says..." He stated softly obviously knowing he would rather be elsewhere.. He himself would rather be elsewhere. "Hmm maybe.. I hope there is something that comes along so you wont be bored out of your mind." He stated with a chuckle and a smile. Desiding to be friendly being it wasn't Peredur's fault he was sent off to be married.

"He does take good care of me I guess... but money only does so much... So Peredur... Are you Married?" Johnathen asked curiously as he watched the just slightly older knight.

He stated playfully.<br><br>"I see...I am shocked actually I figured you already had a wife..." He stated and seemed happy he wasn't... at least he wouldn't offend him with not wanting to marry.

				Peredur shook his head, after chuckling to Jonathan's rejoinder.&nbsp; "No.&nbsp; You noble types *have* to marry, unless you go into the Church, your position requires it.&nbsp; And your average peasant must marry to have children to work the land.&nbsp; But one like myself...I only have to marry if I find a woman I fancy that much.&nbsp; And who fancies me in return." Peredur grinned.&nbsp; "And with this face, there aren't many women of proper status who fancy me."

				"That rule really bites do you know that? My brothers will get my fathers land.. I will be lucky to get a small estate for myself... let alone anything else that matters... The same with the peasants... having to have children to work the land... they should be able to choose who they want to marry and how many children they have." He stated boldly and nodded. "You in my yes are a very lucky man in deed... I would do anything to change places with you." He stated with a smile. "Don't give me that... You are much better looking then my brothers are... the ladys should be flocking all over you and not them." He stated.

				"Ah, you hold yourself too meanly, young Sir.&nbsp; You are very handsome, and that should stand you in good stead.&nbsp; Your wife is wealthy, and her wealth will become yours when you wed.&nbsp; And according to Lord Rhysart, she's young and pretty.&nbsp; All of sixteen."&nbsp; Peredur looked at the young man and wondered if his distaste for marriage sprang from the same place as his own.&nbsp; The fact that he preferred the company of other men to that of women.&nbsp;

				He glanced around the town and smiled, he liked the small town... It was different.<br><br>He hopped off his horse and followed after Peredur slowly.. looking at all the people he passed and walked into the inn after him. "Wow..." He smiled happily and wondered what Peredur ment earlier... He&nbsp; blinked and blushed at the thought of Peredur getting a group of women in his room and sicked them on him... Hopping he wouldn't do that.. He&nbsp; wouldn't know what to do.<br>

				Peredur caught the eye of the innkeeper.&nbsp; "Your best room for my Master, a decent room for me, flop space for our man, meals for all of us tonight, and to break our fast in the morning.&nbsp; How much?"&nbsp; He had dealt with innkeepers before, and he knew the drill.&nbsp; <br><br>The innkeeper smiled.&nbsp; He could tell from their clothing they were well off.&nbsp; "The finest meal for you both, of course, and we have a good hearty stew and bread for your man.&nbsp; But a thousand pardons, gentlesir, we have only one room left.&nbsp; It is our best, which is why none have taken it yet, but there is no other room."&nbsp; <br><br>Peredur nodded.&nbsp; "We'll take it then.&nbsp; Have a pallet sent up, I can sleep in the sitting area of the room."&nbsp; They haggled on price, and Peredur paid him.&nbsp; They went over to a table and a wench came over with mugs of ale for them both.&nbsp; <br><br>Peredur lifted his mug.&nbsp; "Sorry for the presumption, young Sir.&nbsp; But with the purse...I thought it would be unsafe for me to flop in the common room."

				He stood behind Peredur and watched everything that was going on in the inn...&nbsp; He shifted his weight as his guard basically asked for rooms... Then haggle on the price of one room and such.<br><br>He listened carefully to how it was done just in case he would have to do it some&nbsp; day.<br><br>He followed after Peredur as he walked to a table and sat down with himl Right across from him.&nbsp; He looked up at the Wench which was rather good looking and then stared down at this mug..."It's alright really I understand Peredur... I don't mind." He stated calmly.<br><br>He sipped at his mug lightly and watched everyone around him curiously.

				"Well, at any rate, it works for the idea I have in mind for you, young Sir."&nbsp; Peredur gave another odd smile, with a twinkle in his eye.&nbsp; <br><br>The wench comes back with hot bread, and cheese and butter. "There will be a good haunch of venison, and vegetables to come.&nbsp; And fruit compote and pastries for dessert, good sirs.&nbsp; If there is ought else you need, call on me."&nbsp; <br><br>

				"Do I even want to know what your planning for me?" He asked softly and seemed a little bit worried.<br><br>He glanced up at the wench once more and let out a soft sigh... Staring down shyly at his drink, bread, and the cheese... "The bread smells really good." He stated with a smile.... after the Wench had left.. obviously attracted to women.... they just seemed to make him really nervous.

				Peredur sliced a piece of the bread, and a piece of the cheese, and took a bite of each.&nbsp; "It does indeed."&nbsp; He glanced after the wench.&nbsp; "If you wanted other company, I could stay down in the common room for a while."
