See Todd.

See Todd grin.

Grin, Todd, grin.

Todd grins at the bar.

His face may fall off if he stops.

A knight in chainmaille and a white-and-green surcoat runs past, and ducks past the young blond man to hide behind the bar.

"Have they gone?"

Todd peers over at the knight - his brow furrows.

There's something familiar about this guy. Real familiar - but he can't quite place it.

So he just turns his head and looks towards the door. "Have who gone?"

Brave, Brave, Sir Robin...
Your deeds we humbly sing
But could you just perhaps please stop
Insessantly running!
You haven't paid us yet
Three fortnights has it been!
Brave, Brave Sir Robin!

Todd stares at the minstrels - then bursts out laughing.

He claps.

A muffled voice comes out from behind the bar.

"Oh, da- drat. THEM. Oh Lord, protect thy servant from his minstrels..."

Todd speaks out of the side of his mouth. "You want me to distract 'em?"

"Oh please, young man..."

He goes back to a muttered prayer.

It started out as a prayer for intercession, but since that bit's clearly already worked, it has now turned into a prayer of thanksgiving.

Especially since he just realized that he's sitting behind a bar.

Todd smiles in confidence, turning back to the minstrels with a flourishing bow.

"Good minstrels. Does Brave Sir Robin owe you some copper?"

"SHHHH! Don't mention money, it will keep them here!"

Todd rolls his eyes. He looks expectantly at the minstrels.

"Well? Does he?"

...and here they come again...

Brave, Brave, Sir Robin
A fiscal mind hath he
He keeps his pennies tightly
In a fist of penury!
His noble banner flies
His sheild so bold and true
But low it seems we've lost our seems
Our pay is overdue!
Brave, Brave, Sir Robin!

"Good minstrels," Todd smiles. "If I pay you what Sir Robin owes, will you bugger off forever?"

They look somewhat appalled.

Brave, Brave Sir Robin
His debts do others pay
But cert'ly not to minstrels bold
Who make their merry way!
Sir Robin might have slipped
Us for a moment, true
But we are loyal, if not brave
And won't be paid by you!
We We We We follow
Brave Sir ROBIN!

Todd bites his lower lip and tries not to burst into hysterical laughter.

"I'm so sorry to hear that. Why do you guys dig Sir Robin so much, anyway? I mean..." He glances over his shoulder. "...seems like a bit of a chicken to me..."

Brave Brave Sir Robin
Dear Sir, please understand
That if we break a contract here
We lose our dental plan.
Our benefits are struck
Our pension plan'd be gone
And so we try to catch this guy
And sing and sing along...
Brave, Brave, Brave, Brave Sir Robin!

Todd clucks his tongue. "I see. So he's abusing his workers, is he." He shakes his head. "I think you guys should protest his sorry ass. You should form a union!"
