(Secret Santa) RP ~ Isabel and Colton (with a Mathias cameo)
In which Isabel presents Colton with a belated Secret Santa gift when they pass each other in the halls!
Isabel: *meandering through the halls, apparently lost, and carrying a moderately sized box*
Mathias: *quickly following Isabel from behind*
Isabel: I haven't the foggiest notion where this Colton fellow is rooming, and I feel as though I've been down this corridor more than once... *sighs*
Colton: *comes around the corner on his way to the tavern*
Mathias: Do not worry, Lady Isabel. We are bound to bump into this gentleman sooner or later.
Isabel: I would prefer to avoid a collision if possible. And should I not locate him, I do not know what to do about this--*gestures to the box*
Colton: *notices the two of them but keeps walking*
Isabel: Oh! *turns around at the man passing by* Pardon me--I happen to be lost.
Colton: Lost? What are you looking for?
Isabel: I was told to find a man named Colton, but having not made his acquaintance priorly, I do not know the first place to look. I am fortunate enough that Mathias here is assisting me, but we both are lost.
Colton: I'm Colton. What can I do you for?
Isabel: *offers her hand* It is a pleasure to make your acquaintance. I am
Isabel of the Maximillian Knights, and this is my companion Mathias.
Colton: *gives a bow of his head and shakes her hand* Nice to meet you.
Mathias: *offers his hand as well, once Isabel finishes* It is a pleasure to meet you, sir Colton.
Isabel: The pleasure is mine, sir. *steps back and allows Mathias his handshake, then presents Colton with the box--it contains a travel-size chess set with pieces carved out of wood*
Isabel: I know little of you, but from what I did hear, you are a man of the sea, and surely traveling can become wearisome. I hope you can put this to good use.
Colton: *shakes Mathias' hand as well* Ah, a gift? So kind of you, dear lady. *opens the box* A wooden chess set. Perfect. I will certainly put this to good use. You give quite thoughtful gifts.
Isabel: *pleased* I know few people here. I hope to make a good impression so that I can spread my ideals of justice with more ease.
Colton: Justice, eh? What ideals are those?
Isabel: The eradication of violence from this world. It is the root of evil. *Maximillian glint*
Colton: ...I see. That's a noble cause indeed.
Isabel: Do you believe in this cause? *turns her glinting eye on him, positively radiating the Maximillian aura*
Colton: To a fault, but I also believe that we must defend ourselves if attacked.
Isabel: Well, the irony is that through the use of violence, violence may be removed. But in that circumstance, it is noble, I believe. I know Mathias would not lift his sword otherwise.
Mathias: *nods along with everything Isabel has said - he is so proud of her!*
Isabel: *takes that nod as a yes* I am not a passive enforcer of justice, Sir Colton.
Colton: *looks knowingly between the two of them* Ah...of course not, Lady Isabel.
Isabel: I do hope you enjoy the chess set... do you have someone to play against?
Colton: Ah, not really. Do you play?
Isabel: Only slightly. Mathias is the worst possible chess player to challenge... I have yet to win. *wrinkles her nose* My strategy is weak.
Colton: *nods* Well perhaps I'll ask you both for a game sometime?
Isabel: A tag team? *raises her eyebrows* That sounds promising.
Colton: All right then. Thank you again for the lovely gift. *starts off down the hall*
Isabel: *watches him retreat with curiosity* That sounds promising indeed.... Mathias, please try not to win too quickly. I haven't had someone new to play against in a long time.
