				The line of young men dreaming to become squires and to one day follow in the steps of a great knight were all anxious. Devain Tralimer sat on the back of a massive black clydesdale, watching as the young men took their oaths. He, like the rest of the knights were waiting to choose which squire they would train. His stormy violet eyes narrowed.<br><br>What was it about this squire that intrigued him so? Devain could not place his finger on it. The young man seemed boyish. All the squires were boyish, but this one was the runt of the group in comparison.<br><br>Devain dismounted, once the oaths were over. While others ran for the strongest or fastest looking, he walked to the smaller male. He honestly had no desire in training a successor. Really, all he needed was a pack mule. He walked slowly around the squire. “How much do you weigh boy?”<br><br>He lifted his dirty looking hair and frowned, “Disgusting...have you no pride?” Devain's own long black hair was silky and shined. There was one single white streak that ran through the front of his hair, betraying his youthful appearance to some unknown age. “You will need to take care of your appearance if you are to serve under me.”

				It was the dream of every page to be chosen by a knight to be his squire. For when a page was chosen as a squire it was only a matter of time before they would one day become a knight as well and they would have the knight who had chosen them to thank for it. Raz had wanted to be a knight since the moment he'd heard of them or maybe even before that for his desire was strong. There was never any doubt in his mind as to what he would be when he grew up for this was the only option he would consider no matter who told him differently. He had a secret that no one knew about though.<br><br>But hopefully no one would find out and everything would be fine and when he became a knight he would reveal himself for who he truly was. By then it would be too late for the nobles to disqualify him, for he would have already proven himself time and time again. Raz was a young teenager who seemed as though he had only seen sixteen years but who was nearing his nineteenth birthday, he just had that youthful look about him. It was almost feminine should one choose to examine him more closely but usually such things didn't happen, for who would want to take a closer look at a page?<br><br>The only time that would happen would be if a knight chose him and that was the test he had to pass with flying colors or else it was all over for him and he wasn't about to let that happen for he'd trained and worked too hard for this. He would pass no matter what, he would give everything he had. Raz wasn't as big as the other boys but he wasn't scrawny either and could hold his own should it come down to it. Short length red hair hid his face a bit and would have been clean but one of the other pages had dragged him into a sparring match before he could refuse, a few minutes before the lineup.<br><br>He'd won but that didn't make much of a difference, his hair was still dirty and he probably stank a bit from the exercise which meant that he most likely wouldn't be chosen. Raz couldn't help but feel mad at the other page for chances like this didn't come along very often and he was getting older every day so his chances were running out. So it came as quite a surprise when Knight Tralimer dismounted and came over to where he was standing to give him his undivided attention and Raz looked up at the other man. "120 pounds, sir." Raz responded, hoping that it was the right thing to say, was he looking for someone that had more or less weight?<br><br>It was hard to tell. He grimaced when the knight lifted his dirty looking hair and frowned, dissing him and Raz lowered his gaze to the ground as he chewed on his bottom lip to keep from responding. It wasn't his fault. He hadn't meant to show up like this and didn't expect to be chosen because of it so why did this knight want to rub it in? But Knight Tralimer surprised him once more when he spoke again telling him that he would need to take care of his appearance if he was to serve under him and a murmur ran along the line of pages. Had the knight chosen his squire? Raz blinked. <br><br>"Did you-did you just choose me, sir?" He asked, uncertain but hoping that he had indeed heard correctly and his heart skipped a beat for this was good luck if it were true but why did Knight Tralimer wanted him of all people, especially considering the way he looked now?

				Devain Tralimer rubbed his hand on the black pants that fit close to his body. "If you would prefer I could choose someone else." It didn't much matter to him who he chose. "Yes, I've choosen you." He crossed his arms over his chest as he looked at him. "You are under weight. That likely means you lack muscle. We will have to work on that."<br><br>The squire would be expected to carry heavy arrmor and swords. Lacking strength was not an option. "You are an unlikely one to chose, but sometimes a seedling only needs some tending to grow. So, get your things."

				Raz shook his head when Knight Tralimer said he could choose someone else if he'd like him to and he instantly stepped forward as was proper for a chosen page to do when becoming a knight's squire. "No, sir. Thank you for choosing me." He said and inwardly blushed when the other spoke of him being underweight and thus lacking muscle, that wasn't necessarily true for he could be underweight and still have muscle.<br><br>But he wasn't going to put forth his opinion at the moment since he didn't want the knight to reconsider and reject him right after choosing him in front of all the other hopeful pages. "Yes, sir." Raz said when his new knight told him to get his things and hurried off to get his belongings. Once he had gotten the things he needed on a daily basis, he left the rest in his room because as was traditional the servants would transport the majority of his things to Knight Tralimer's rooms.<br><br>Raz was just expected to bring the things that he needed right away with him. He reported to Knight Tralimer's rooms and knocked on the door.

				"Who is it?" Devain glanced toward the door when the knock came. He had gone to his suite to wait for the boy. He brought his glass of wine to his lips while awaiting an answer. He neverlet anyone in with out knowing who they were first. <br><br>He turned to look toward the small room in the suite of rooms he had chosen to designate as his squire's. There was a bed, night stand, dresser and closet. There wasn't room for much else. Then, the squire didn't really need much else.

				He stood outside Knight Tralimer's rooms after knocking and when the male spoke, Raz cleared his throat. "It's Raz. Your new squire, sir." Raz said as he waited for permission to come in and put his hand on the doorknob as he listened for his knight to speak.<br><br>Raz carried his toothbrush and paste, a hairbrush and comb, a washcloth, towel and a set of clothing. The rest of his clothes and his personal effects would be transported from his rooms to Knight Tralimer's rooms later on that day by the servants.

				The broodish knight paused for another sip of the red liquor, then sat the crystal wine glass down on a table. His strides were long, closing the distance between he and the large double doors. Settling a black leather glove clad hand down up on the cool hard brass knob, he opened one door only slightly. Peering out, hard violet eyes instantly became narrowed slits.<br><br>“Certainly took&nbsp; you long enough,” he snarled. Slowly, he stepped away to allow entrance to the grand suite that he called home with in the castle. <br><br>Turning on his feet, the knight placed his back to the young boy. With a casual gesture toward the bare room he returned to where he left his crystal glass, “You may put your things in there. Do to it what you like, but for my sake, keep the door closed.” He lifted his glass to his lips. He took a small sip, then continued, “Join me by the fire when you are finished.”<br><br>He hadn't even once taken a moment to look at the boy, except to indirectly tell him he was trying his patience already. If he had, perhaps he would have noticed he had practically nothing with him. With out a thought to it, Devain continued through the maze of rooms until he came to a well laid out den with an enormous fire place, fur rugs and large comfortable chairs made to sink down in and be comfortable for as long as you sat in them. The room also doubled to display various trophies he had won over the many years from jousting, spars, and battles. Not to mention, favors from the king himself. <br><br>Devain sauntered over to his favorite arm chair and sat down. He kicked his feet up on the foot stool, crossing his ankles. The flame of the fire flickered in his eyes and though he was so very close he could not be truely warm. He had not been warm in such a long time.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/dracour/Raz-1-1.jpg)</div>Raz was of Asian descent and as such, longer length hair on a male was acceptable. It was frowned upon here but no one would make him cut his hair because there was no law against men having extra length and he chuckled at the thought.<br><br>His red hair fell to just above his shoulders for he didn't want to look like a girl after all but he hadn't been able to bring himself to cut <em>all</em> of it off, this would be just fine.<br><br>If people had too much of a problem with it and it prevented him from getting chosen he would hack the rest of it off but until he'd decided that he would be keeping it at the length it was now.<br><br>Raz grimaced when his new knight snarled at him and he gingerly slipped inside, trying to keep out of the way of Knight Tralimer for it seemed he'd caught him in a bad mood. Lovely.<br><br>He closed the door quickly when the other told him to keep the door closed and looked over to the area the knight had pointed him in, nodding as he moved over to the designated area. Raz put the bare essentials he'd brought with him on the tiny shelf there, arranged them so that they wouldn't fall off or be jostled should someone run into it for some reason and then joined the knight at the fire when he was finished.<br><br>"The servants should be coming later on with the rest of my belongings. Should I put them with the rest of my things or do you have another place you'd like them to be?" He asked, looking up at the knight as he waited to see what the other would say, for he had cleaning gear, the rest of his clothes and a few personal effects on the way.<br><br>Raz took a seat carefully on one of the couches as he waited to see what his new knight had to say to him.

				(I don't know how to post a picture of Devain or I would.)<br><br>Long hair certainly did seem to be taboo. However, that did not seem to bother Devain with his black hair reaching all the way down, far past his narrow hips. To be quite honest, Devain rarely seemed to care what others thought of him. He always had his head up high. Then again, that always seemed to be what made him capable of seeing through things that normal men other wise would quiver in fear of.<br><br>Devain stared intently in to the fires flames as if it held some vision for him, perhaps a memory of the past. However, the memory was short lived as the boy came to join him. He sighed softly, “Put them where you deem fit. Should I deem them unfit, you shall move them...immidiately.” He shifted his position in his chair so that he was looking directly at him. “I suppose we should get to the point so that you know what to expect from me.”

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/dracour/Raz-1-1.jpg)</div>It was the first thing Raz had noticed when he'd been chosen by the knight. But Tralimer was a male by birth and it worked naturally on him whereas on Raz it would have looked entirely too feminine, some might even question whether he was a male or female.<br><br>And that was a risk he wasn't willing to take. He couldn't help but admire Knight Tralimer's long dark hair though for it was quite attractive, Raz had always liked men with longer length hair compared to those who cut theirs short. <br><br>Shaking his head, Raz pushed away from such thoughts, he shouldn't be thinking them anyway, not right now at least. He'd have plenty of time to daydream about it later on when he had become a knight for then there wouldn't be anything they could do about it.<br><br>Raz looked at his knight as he waited for a response and when none came instantly he noticed that Tralimer appeared to be peering into the flames as though he were looking for something.<br><br>He was about to ask what he was thinking when the older male began to speak finally and Raz's lips twitched for he didn't like being treated as though he was of no importance, he'd thought that Tralimer would be more...respectful. For he was a knight.<br><br>Before he could think more of this, Raz saw that the knight had turned his chair in such a way that he was now facing Raz himself and the younger male prepared himself. Perhaps now Knight Tralimer would get down to business. "Yes, sir." He said and waited expectantly.<br><br>(You don't need a picture, I just like putting them there right now :p)

				Devain paused, looking him over, "Not that there will be much problem with it, but while you are in training there are to be no women, no late nights, and if you have to leave somewhere...I don't care if it is an emergency, you will let me know first." He raised a brow in curriosity, "Does that bother you?" <br><br>He stared at his squire waiting for an answer. This was normally the point at which some of them put up a fight. However, they did not realize that they are in service to a knight to become a knight themselves. A knight's squire needed to be there always to see to it the knight had the weapons he needed, sheild, his horse is taken care of, everything so that the knight need not worry about it. Also, being in training, women only clouded the head. <br><br>"I would also like to know your name. Otherwise I will be calling you nothing more than Squire." He could think of other names to call him if required, but they were not preferable.

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/dracour/Raz-1-1.jpg)</div>Raz listened attentively as Knight Tralimer spoke of the rules that would take place in their rooms. He shook his head when the knight asked if anything he'd said bothered him, it wasn't as though he would have any trouble in that particular department.<br><br>He didn't think any girl would want to be with him considering his current looks. The young squire realized that Knight Tralimer wanted a vocal answer and he cleared his throat. "No, sir." Raz said and he waited for further instructions for he expected there to be more, after all being a squire was hard work.<br><br>Harder than being a page since a page took care of everyones needs but if they messed up they were simply chastised and the mess cleaned up. A squire took care of only one person it was true but if they messed with with their knight, injuries or even death could result and there would be no one to clean up after the squire.<br><br>That was why a squire's job was much harder than that of a page and Raz was one of the few that had grasped that particular fact. Raz blinked when Knight Tralimer asked for his name, the name he had given only a few minutes earlier when he'd knocked at the door.<br><br>But perhaps the knight hadn't heard all his words or had decided to ignore it up until now. "It is Raz, Knight Tralimer." Raz told him once more with a nod and waited to see if the other had any further use for him or if they would be able to get some sleep tonight.

				Devain Tralimer had such thing as selective hearing. He heard what he wanted to hear when he wanted to hear it. He looked the young man over slowly with his eyes, taking in once more how small he was. Nothing he could buy this boy would fit properly. No, the only way was to take him to a tailor to be fitted with something that bared his colors and symbols. That would make others take notice that this boy was his squire.<br><br>He turned in his chair and looked back to the fire, "Tomorrow, I shall take you to a tailor and have you properly fitted for my colors." He sat there for only a moment, then stood. He sighed, "The black smith will have more trouble with your scrawny frame. Metal does not bend as fabric. Perhaps chainmail will be sufficient enough. You won't after all be doing battle for some time. However, if I am in battle you will need to be protected as well." He walked toward his bedroom with out another word.<br><br>Devain closed his door. He began to undress, starting with his black gloves. Next, his boots. The knight continued removing items as he walked to his bed until he was completely in the nude. Tomorrow, he only had plans of taking care of what Raz would need to be his squire, but he felt the need to lay down. Lay down, he did. <br><br>On his back, Devain stared up at the ceiling and wondered what he really wanted to do with little Raz. Closing his eyes, the knight relaxed and soon...fell to sleep...

				<div class="floatleft">(http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v140/dracour/Raz-1-1.jpg)</div>Raz stood still while his knight looked him over and he hoped that the male didn't find anything strange about him. Then again, why would he? Raz nodded when Tralimer told him that tomorrow they would go to a tailor and fit him with his knight's colors.<br><br>He chewed on his lip as he listened to his knight speak of fitting him with chainmail and he wondered why they might go into battle. Raz would follow Knight Tralimer to the ends of the earth now that he was in his service but he wasn't too keen on going into battle unprepared.<br><br>That was almost suicide. But he would do the best he could, hopefully Knight Tralimer would train him along the way in preparation for the worst. The young male had grown used to seeing boys his own age strip in front of him but watching Devain Tralimer do so was a bit different and Raz blinked.<br><br>He turned around at the last moment before the last bit of clothing was off the knight's frame and tried to calm his racing heart. Taking a deep breath he let it out slowly and made his way back to his own cot that would serve as his for the next few days.<br><br>Until they took to the road and it seemed as though they would be doing so shortly from what he'd been hearing around the castle. With this thought in mind, Raz slept as well. In full clothing. He wasn't about to undress in the same room as his knight. He had a bit of a modest issue.

				Morning filtered through the windows. Every corner of the room flooded with light. A swift kick turned over the Cot that Raz was sleeping on. It was a cruel thing to do to any sleeping body and yet, Devain Tralimer had done it to him. He had no regards for anyone else, especially in the morning hours.<br><br>"Rise and shine Sleeping Beauty," came a irritated snarl. Devain had been awake since before the sun and had been ready to go by dawn. However, Raz seemed to have the need and the want to sleep in. He dropped a bag by the boy, now forced to drag himself from a cold floor rather than a warm cot.<br><br>"I'm not going to baby sit you every morning." With those words spoken, he moved for the door. His gloved hand touched the knob, turned it and soon he was walking down the hall and heading for the stairs that lead out side. There were two stairs of course for the knights, one leading in to the castle and another leading out in to the court yard. <br><br>Devain preferred exiting to the court yard so that he did not have to play nice with too many people. Devain was more of a loner, staying to himself. Outside, the stable boy already had two horses ready to go at Devain Tralimer's wishes. He mounted up on his enormous steed and waited for his snail to follow.

				Raz's dreams of being chosen by a knight to be his squire had not turned out the way he'd intended. Knight Devain Tralimer was not the sort of person he'd expected but there was nothing he could do about it unless he wanted to quit.<br><br>And no squire quit a knight unless he wanted out of the entire thing which Raz did not for he had nothing he could do if he couldn't become a knight. That was the cold hard truth of the matter and so he was stuck with Tralimer.<br><br>Which was not very satisfying at all. Raz didn't like the man but he wasn't dumb enough to say so. He was just in the process of waking up when a swift kick was delivered to his side and Raz yelped as he tumbled out of bed and ended up on the floor.<br><br>Looking up to see who or what had done such a cruel thing he saw Knight Tralimer standing above him and he cut back any protests for he didn't want to upset the other more. This only reinforced his dislike of the man.<br><br>It seemed as though Devain was a true terror in the morning, that or he hadn't desired a squire in the first place but had been made to take one due to tradition. And as such he was taking it out on Raz which wasn't fair but then again what did he expect from someone like Tralimer?<br><br>The squire picked up the bag and dragged it up onto his fairly small shoulder, hefting it a bit to get into a more comfortable position so he could carry it for his new knight. "Yes, sir."<br><br>He said in response to Devain's words and hurried to catch up to the other while carrying the bag and when they arrived at the stables he fixed the bag to the saddle of his own mount to carry the belongings for Devain.<br><br>Then he swung himself up onto the horse and waited for Devain to lead the way.

				Devain was incredibly impatient. The moment his squire mounted, he kicked his own horse forward to a rather quick trott. Well, as quick a trott as a war horse could muster. They were not built for speed, but strength and stamina. Still, it made good time with Devain behind the reigns.<br><br>Today, the first order of business was the tailors. Up on arriving, Devain stopped and tied his horse to a post. He dismounted and walked inside, not even waiting for Raz, but expecting him to follow. Inside, Devain spoke with the tailor about the importance of getting his squire measured for new clothing with his mark. <br><br>This event of measuring normally required one to strip down completely to their under pants. It was the best way to ensure a right fit. However, Devain was doubtful if his squire would cooperate. He seemed rather bashful when it came to the human body. He had noticed the way he turned away when he had undressed himself lastnight. It was strange, mostly because they were both men.<br><br>Devain quietly busied himself with browsing through the small shop. There was of course nothing there he was interested in. Most of the already made things were for the poor, people who could not afford custom made items. He rubbed his hand on his pants as if he had touched something dirty when he was finished, then moved to seat himself in a chair.
