Joining The Banquet

-----

We swiftly entered the carriage with everyone else and set off into the castle. David was rather delighted to see me, as usual. However, he was rather surprised we were bringing "an old man" with us.

"Excuse Lady Planta, but who is… this man?" David wondered, tilting his head.

"You damn brat! That you're a Paladin doesn't mean you should just forget about me!" Ambil angrily said. "I'm Ambil Ember, member of the Ember Family of Blacksmiths!"

"Ember Family?" David wondered. "Oh, that Family that was thought to have fallen long ago?"

"Fallen?! Last time I checked I was still alive and kicking…" Ambil sighed. "David, do you truly not remember me? You used to play around my forge when you were a kid! There was once a time you came knocking at my door to play inside the forge and made a huge mess once I let you in! Or the time you came to shamelessly ask me for money. Or when I gifted you your first sword!"
