Summary
"So I said to the guy, "That's not a skeleton, that's my wife!"" John shouts to a table full of roaring adventurers, howls of laughter filling the tavern. One of them passes a flagon of ale to the armor-clad warrior, and John gives them a little two-fingered salute, grabbing it by the handle and looking down into the fuzzy foam.
The door gets kicked open by a boot clad in rusted, dented iron, a fellow knight dragging a broken bastard sword behind him, snapped cleanly in half from the tip down. Sir Strider lifts his visor up and then pulls back the hood of his coif. His presence a mild deterrent, a battle-worn body carrying itself across the tavern's floor and sitting across the table from John, shoving a small dwarven smith out of the way (he scrabbles angrily but slinks away into the crowd). Sir Strider pulls his sword up, still heavy despite its decapitation, and plants it firmly in the table. "You. Knight Egbert."
John musses their hair a little bit, pulling out a lengthy warpick and dropping it on the table in return, causing it to rattle. "That's me, alright. To whom do I owe the honor?"
