[ lissa just lets herself get smacked, gathering the pillow into her lap as she thinks about how to explain max without betraying his trust... ]

He's been a knight for... a while. [ like he's old as balls yo. ] He's a freelancer. He's very sweet, sort of a loner. But not in the bad way, he's not a snob, he just likes the quiet. He keeps people at a distance. [ ~except her. oh gross she looks so in love make it stop. ] He knows a lot about the history of the knights. [ i repeat: old as balls. ] Did I tell you that Benjamin Franklin was a knight. A Dragon's Claw!
