The Resolves Spoken

There was a hushed murmur throughout the crowd, one that ended abruptly as soon as Leon gave the slightest cough. Then with his usual charming smile, he turned to face the many gazes all around.

"It was a little match of jousting," He spoke out. "As many of you know, I was formally invited to be a contender in the game. I was to be going against many other talented individuals - and they were all very good, very skilled jousters."

His every word was perfectly articulated, accompanied also by the perfect gesture. Not only could he speak well, but he could also tell well too. 

"Then disaster struck. My final opponent, alas, was not feeling his best right then. So a replacement was needed, and a replacement was chosen, and a replacement… she came." 

Leon paused to stare at the princesses' compartment, to gaze longingly in quiet, his blue eyes no doubt reflected back a beautiful mixture of white and green.
